I have tried all buttons... F11, F12, F9 etc... none of them have worked... I cannot get into the computer to get into the Program Menu, some clown has put XP on it and it is meant to be VISTA!!
Hi Angus_08,

It's possible when Windows XP was installed, the recovery partition was formatted as well.

i see the partion there and most the the files are there i used Acronis

i still cant boot into recovery partion
Do you have a Acronis Bootable Rescue Media? You can boot from this disc and restore the "image" that way.

If there is no option there must be a program installed in the Program Menu that access the recovery partition, and starts the process.
