    I'm using ASUS G2P gaming edition.

    A couple weeks after buying this notebook, I installed Windows Vista Ultimate SP1. And I can not do F9 recovery again.

    When I tried to reinstall Vista SP1 again, there's still hidden recovery partition in C:/RECOVERY. And I'm sure it wasn't deleted.

    The C:/RECOVERY is not hidden anymore now, and I can see that directory contents include asus.wim 3GB file.

    How I restore my notebook back to its original factory by using this hidden partition?
    please help.

    Use the recovery disks supplied by Asus? This will unfortunately mean you will have to a full format.
