Re: Getting back to the hidden restore partition Vista.

Is there a disk or a utility that can get me back to put vista back on my
machine?

What I did was format the C: Drive and installed WinXP as I had probs
getting on with Vista but I am finding I am having more problems with WinXP
than I did with Vista.

Its cracking me up as ZooStorm dont give out disks for windows vista and
they dont provide a way of creatig a backup disk, Just the partition.

I hope I can be helped as I would really be very gratefull to have Vista Back.

Thanks.


Contact the vendor and ask them how to re-install Vista from the recovery partition..
