Hello Kevin, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Is this a store bought computer that came with Vista preinstalled?

If so, could you post back with what brand and model it is? I'll be happy to see if I can find the instuctions for how to do a factory restore of Vista with it. :)

Hi vistahater94,

In addition, if the Operating System was reinstalled on the computer anytime with the disc then there would not be any partition available to restore the computer back to factory settings.

Also, providing the link to install windows in the computer using the discs: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-vista.html

For any further questions in future please feel free to contact me.
