    Hi I'm trying to format my Vista 32bit operation system on my G2 laptop. Im not sure how to do this with Vista. I tried the asus recovery disc but it wont boot and I cant find a way to boot the disc drive first in bios like with Windows XP.
    Can anyone guide me on how to format this comp. Also I have two particions OS on one and the others is empty made for documents.

    I don't have a G2 (I have a V1S), but I would think the setups are very similar. There should be settings in the BIOS to let you change the order of the boot devices, but another option would be to press the Esc key just after the Asus logo displays when you boot up the machine. This should give you a menu to select which device to boot from. Double check your owner's guide if Esc does not work for you.

    Thank's a million for your help. You saved me hours of pondering on top of the hours I already wasted on this. Esc key solved the whole problem.
