    What is the best way to reinstall windows (wipe my computer clean) on my Asus G1. I have Vista Home. Someone told me there is a button and all you have to do is hit it when the computer is turning on?

    Thanks

    Put the restore disc in the drive, boot up the computer and it'll give your instructions from there.

    The button is F9. It will do the same thing as coriolis says, but from the HDD. Advantage: much faster (minutes instead of hours). Disadvantage: can't skip the bloatware installation. You can when you use the recovery DVD by not inserting the drivers disk when it asks you to.
