    Greetings

    Hi all........I am in a big trouble at this moment.I have installed OS XP which i am having from university. I am trying to reinstall my original Winxp using Rescue & Recovery 3.0. I repaired my MBR using MBR repair diskette and installed RnR 3.0. After that when i pressed F11 key it enters in rescue and recovery but when i click to bring my laptop to original factory state it gives me an error "Product Recovery Function removed from the system". I am service partition is still intact with the hard disk. It would be really helpful if someone can share his knowledge and experience.

    thanking in advance

    Do you still have the recovery image (Q) partition. This is required for the utility to restore your computer.

    Did you make recovery DVDs when your computer was new?? If so you can use these without the need for the blue button.

    Just press F8 to boot from the 1st CD and follow the instructions to recovery your system to factory with the recovery DVDs.
