Ibm preload......need to restore system to factory specs

[zzrich]

Hey guys. I have a ibm/lenovo desktop that I need to restore back to factory settings. My kids got on it and jacked it all up. It has a restore partion built in but I dont know how to restore it. Has Anybody done this before ?

It should be very similar to this article. Press F11 on startup, and it should access the recovery partition.
