    I am trying to get the system back to default with the recovery partition. I wiped the vista partition and installed Winxp keeping the recovery partition. I have now decided to return this notebook as the drive is clicking. I reinstalled vista but I would like to put it back to factory so BB wont give me any hassles. In the manual it says to push F8 to get to the recovery partition but that does not work. Any ideeas would be great.

    Thank you
