[QUOTE="ez80227, post: 2303267, member: 622406"] depends on a few things. first, are you sure it doesn't have a recovery partition on the drive? (many/most laptops did) re-installing vista this way could remove/damage that partitoin since it seems clear this is new to you. does the laptop have a boot menu? tjhis can be anything from f1 to f12 or even a combo keystroke like alt+f11 etc. have you checked the bios to see what the boot order is? what is the lapotop, make and model? need much more info. you shouldn't proceed until you are completely sure of all these facts according to page 26 of the manual, it has a recovery partition and you don't need any of this...; http://www.panasonic.com/business/toughbook/computer-support-download-manuals.asp [/QUOTE]
