gavin.starr Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Well basicaly my lap top got riddled with virous's, i didnt get any sort of disk with it when i bought it. I want to restore it back to default, is there a way of doing this or do i have to go out and buy vista on disk to do so. You can make restore disks, but i can only seem to restore it back to 01/01/2011 which isnt far enough back for me. I want to clear the lot but i dont want to reformat anything without the correct disks to reboot from. Any help would be great. Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be able to access this by pressing a hotkey during bootup, it should tell you during boot up if this is the case. If not you will need a recovery floppy/cd which would have either came from the laptop manufacturer/supplier or you will have to contact them for it. However, I would recommend ditching vista altogether and going with Windows 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
