how to restore factory settings but they say i don't have a drive partition what does drive partition mean?

Have you put a new copy of windows on pc since you got it?

C drive is a partition, its a area of your disk assigned the title C. On laptops (and some pc) there can be a hidden Partition set aside to hold a copy of windows that would be used if you choose factory reset - it also includes all the drivers that were available at time pc was made.

If you have put windows 7 on since you got the pc, its possible you deleted the recovery partition and that is why you are getting this error now

try here and see if you can get a recovery dvd: https://serviceshop.asus.com/

Call asus and tell them you need a os disk to reinstall windows, have your product key ready to validate.
They will charge you a fee to ship it but it'll be worth it because microsoft does not provide help or services for oem product keys through manufacturers.
When you do get it, make sure you cut out bloatware after the installation

Make sure you download the correct os for your product key that is listed on or underneath your laptop.

That would be your best bet for now, until microsoft.com gets tired of them and shuts them down eventually.

I'll let you locate vista home premium 32bit yourself, if you need any help finding it ask the current staff or admin over there.

aresrules123 · Apr 28, 2016

maikutech · Apr 28, 2016

As provided to you twice, check get into pc, the iso's are on there.

aresrules123 · Apr 28, 2016

do the items at the getitopic.com work on Asus Laptops or any other laptops

maikutech · Apr 28, 2016

I'm not going to answer that, because I don't bother with any other software than their os's when needed.

Please go ahead and try reinstalling windows 8.

aresrules123 · Apr 28, 2016

How can you tell what bit I have a 32 bit or 64 bit or can it be any one

maikutech · Apr 28, 2016

Click on the start button, click on search type msinfo and hit enter.

That will tell what you have currently installed.

i reinstalled windows it was windows 8.1 that was on the getintopic.com not windows 8 nothing happened what now

maikutech · Apr 29, 2016

Use windows 8.1, even if you used windows 8 original windows update would go ahead and update it.
If you don't want that option, then you will have no other option to get the original windows 8 reinstall dvd from the manufacturer.
Or you could go the ebay/amazon route do your own homework and get what you need.

If neither of those options seem good to you, either use 8 or buy a new windows os with product key and use that.

Best of luck.

I don't have a disk or a optical drive it did not come with one so how can I use the disk if I don't have an optical drive

Colif · Apr 29, 2016

If you don't understand what you should be doing, take it to a shop and ask them to fix it. They will know what to do.

my 2 cents

maikutech · Apr 29, 2016

aresrules123 :

You will need a usb flash drive and make sure the flash drive is 4gb-8gb.

As provided in my first link this is what you will need if you have no optical drive.
