    Hi
    My notebook is Compaq Presario F545EA and I dont want to pay for the "Recovery Disc" (buy from HP for 35$)
    My problem is that:
    I had create a "DVD Recovery Disc" on the first date I bought my laptop and didnt use it until my Windows Vista was crashed so I put it into laptop and find out that DVD is damaged so I had to try the "Recovery Partition" way but it doesnt work too !!! (I did NOT changed any data on the partition). I cant boot up my laptop in to Recovery Manager with clicking on the key F11 on start up. I know the reason? !!! Because the MBR(Master Boot Record) has been overwrited by another program. I want that you give me some file,patch,setup or something(maybe Recovery Manager Software) that it can rewrite on the MBR and restore or repair it to the old view so the F11 key gono work. Its very improtant to me that install the Genuine Windows Vista HomePremium that i had payed for.
