Hello,

How do I do a system restore from the boot menu or setup utility?

My computer will only open up to the HP invent screen, and it only gives me three options:

Press <Esc> to change Boot order
Press <F10> to enter setup
<F12> to boot from LAN

I have tried pressing the F8 option and all of that but it won't start up any more than that one black screen.

Is there any way I can do a System Restore from any of these places?

I am completely lost and have no Idea what to do!

System Configuration: Windows Vista Internet Explorer 7.0

What make and model computer do you have? Some PCs have a hidden partition on the hard drive that contains a copy of Windows.

It is a H.P,pavilion 6700f pc. Thia computer stoped on me & I had a warranty so H.P. sent me another new hard drive & has been working for about two mo's now yet my system restor will not work. I did go back to different dates a few times & the same ole thing. I also lost my pasting in foxfire but,not windows INT.

This is bit complicated. Why not just use a free utility like reboot restore Rx?

If you have the Windows CD/DVD - then change the boot order to boot from the optical disk and reinstall Windows. Please note that ALL data currently on the hard disk will be erased. Good Luck

actually I hate to burst your bubble but unless you own the business version of vista you will not have a backup copy to restore to so this will not work
