A friend of mine said that her laptop was running ridiculously slow (had been for a while) and wondered if I could "fix it." I said that most laptops have a built in factory restore partition and it shouldn't be terribly hard...apparently I was wrong. I don't know if this laptop didn't have a partition or she deleted it or what but I cannot find it.
The laptop in question is a Gateway "T-Series" W350i running Windows Vista. I've got everything backed up but holding both F8 or F10 (and those w/ALT) gives me nothing, there is no repair factory restore option in the boot up process.
What's the best move here? I don't have any Vista OS discs, is there another option?
Thanks.
