    Ok, so I have everything already backed up. Now I want to know how do I fresh install Vista on an F8Va. I have all the necessary media, the recovery disk and drivers disk.

    Is there someone that knows the steps to do so? Do I just have the recovery disk inside just like XP before load up and it will take me to the install session? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Anyone know any links or guides to do so?

    Yes, just pop in your recovery disk and go through the steps. Make sure you to set your optical drive as the first order in the boot sequence in your bios.

    I thought that The F8Va has got a built in partition that can resinstall a fresh copy of Vista with all the necessary drivers. Why do you have to 'fresh' install your Vista?
