Ok I have an acer aspire 5315 and it originally had vista on it.
After a to long to explain process it went from vista to ubuntu to xp to ubuntu again.
Now that i have the computer i really want to get vista back and i read that i could just do a system recovery and that it was a hidden partition in the system.
The problem is i have tried alt-f10 and f8 and all they do is beeep and make noise but nothing happens.
I"m sorry if i sound like an idiot but does anyone know how i can get vista back, is the partition deleted, or is their a way i can force the computer to use it.
I read somewhere that the connection to the partition may need to be re-put in (not sure how to say that) but the code to do that is for windows and doesn't work in ubuntu so
All in all i just want to know am i wasting my time trying to find the recovery partition or does anyone have a way i can get to it?
