    Hi
    I have a Hp DV9218tx Laptop with windows vista 32 bit.
    The windows would not load and i gave it to warranty.
    They installed a fresh windows and gave it back.
    The Hp things did not install/work so i wanted to use the recovery partition to reinstall the original windows.
    There was no recovery manager so I read online that I had to change the active partition to the recovery drive and restart and the recovery drive will boot. So I went to computer management and changed the active partition to the recovery drive.
    Then when I restarted, nothing came and just black/
    so now i want to change it back the active partition to the C drive with windows on it. but I dont know how to since i can not get inside windows.
    Please help.
