Hi, i am running on windows vista 32 bit home premium on my area-51 m15x, i installed windows 7 32-bit on my comp not knowing that it was 32-bit and now whenever i reinstall the vista thats supposed to be 64-bit i get the 32-bit one. I try to run alienrespawn v2.0 and here is the steps i do:

1 Put in alienrespawn v2.0 disk in the cd drive
2 restart my computer
3 look for alienrespawn screen that tells me to press f10 but not there!!!

Please help me, i need to restore my laptop to factory settings so i can reinstal 64-bit

use gparted and you can make the restore partition bootable again.

After you have done this, your computer should directly start with the respawn. Go ahead and do it. Once the process is complete, you should have your factory installed Vista, with the F10 option restored.
