    I have a p7805u and went through the hassle of installing WinXP. I never made the restore DVDs, as I didn't know you had to do that first. I have un-hidden the PQSERVICE partition, and it looks like that is the "restore" stuff. Is there any way to get that to run to restore everything to factory?
