I recently ran into issues concerning viruses on my Asus M50vm Notebook, and attempted a reformat. While reformatting, I ran into some MORE issues (the instillation would freeze mid way), but managed after some time to get it to work. However, while trying to reformat, I deleted a 100mb partition. After that, I started having driver issues, and I was hoping to simply restore the factory settings. I'v read in other forum posts that to do this I simply have to press F9 when the ASUS logo pops up during startup. When I do this, there is no option to restore factory settings, but instead only boot Microsoft Windows Vista.
Have I deleted the partition containing the Factory settings? If so how do I go about restoring my computer to factory settings?

Keep tapping F9 as soon as you turn on your laptop. If that doesn't work, then you may have accidentally deleted the recovery partition. If so, you should still be able to reinstall your OS from the recovery disk that was supplied with your laptop.

So the F9 key doesn't work, and the Recovery Disk doesn't actually repair my laptop to what it originally was (still a bunch of unknown devices and missing drivers). Also, despite having reformatted my notebook will randomly start lagging until it blue screens.
