  1. I recently bought a new laptop from PC World, which is a HP Compaq Presario CQ50. It came with Vista Home Premium pre-installed. Not being a fan of Vista I decided to partition the hard drive and install Windows XP pro with a dual boot system. I used Acronis Disc Director to partition, but after installing XP I was not offered the option to boot into Vista should I want to. AS I am having problems locating a driver for my laptop graphics card I wanted to use Vista but cant boot into it. As a last resort I delted the partition with XP on and tried the F11 option at boot to restore the laptop to the factory shipped state. This however does not work. Under XP I can see the partition that holds the backup but dont know to restore it. I dont have backup discs. Can anyone please help me restore my laptop back to the factory state please?
