    Hi Guys,

    Great site, I am new here so I will have to say hello and bother you with an issue together. :)

    I just got an M1730. I am not happy with a few things I installed and tried due to excitement and curiosity. Now I want to restore the system back to factory default but the CTL+F11 as decribed in the manual does not work.

    I read on these forums that I should use the F8 and then choose restore to factory default but there is no such option. I have tried pressing CTL+F11 at the bios screen, just after and during at various intervals, without any luck.

    I do have a restore partition of 10GB and it has aroun d 5.9GB used up. I have included a picture, please help me out.

    Thanks before hand.
