    Hello there, this is a great site. I was searching for a way to restore my notebook to its factory stock state. But I everytime i try to restore from the recover center, it would just restart the notebook. I also try to burn the recover cds but I get a runtime error. Is there a way to run the restore option before notebook boot windows vista?

    I am assuming that you already know about the F10 button. If not reboot your computer and when your bios screen comes up hit F10. That will take you to the recovery center.
