Vista Help

Yes in the boot manager menu there is no option to select a recovery partition. There is an option to restore to previous working system but that will not load either. All the options in there I have tried and they all result in Windows beginning to load but only getting up a background and stopping.

The recovery partition is not shown as an option. You hit a certain (usually f key) key during boot and its all done for you. You will get what is know as a factory restore; just like the day that you took it home.

OK with the Asus, you rapidly hit F9 many times during boot. You should automatically restore. I think that is the same thing the WHS told you.

I think he said he had tried that and it also failed. That is why I gave the drastic option of a fresh install.

Based upon what he said, Im not sure he tried the correct way.

OH, I see, yes not much good if not done correctly.

What happens if you keep tapping F9 at boot. It should not be too difficult to try that. Easier than mucking around with the bootmgr.
