I have lenovo 3000 N100. When I try to recover the system to factory default settings it says that this option has been removed from system. I had low space in C drive so I deleted the backups to free space on c drive but somehow it deleted the factory default option I guess. Now I have tried updating the system with system updater. Installed new lenovo care pack and rescue and recovery 4.1 but still it doesn't give me option to restore to factory default settings. Now I don't have any backup. Created the startup disk but the 5 recovery Cd's were not created by me. Big mistake. Now I am not sure what to do? can anyone guide me? thanks in advance.

Call Lenovo and tell them that your recovery partition is corrupt and you need recovery cd's to restore it.

Thanks. I read somewhere that you can access the hidden drive to make recovery CDs do you know any way to do it? it was for a thinkpad not my model. I am hoping there is some way to access the hidden drive in this model as well.
