    I have this acer aspire 5100 laptop, it came from factory with Windows Xp media center. Later, i've updated to vista, but now i would like to go back to Xp...
    I've heard about this OEM partition that keeps the originalsl files, i was wondering if i could reinstal the original OS from this OEM thing, since i don't have any backup, or recovery cd provided by acer...

    So, is that possible to do this ?!
    I appreciate any help.

    press f10 or f12 at post screen to do a system recovery back to factory defaults. as lomg as you did not delete that recovery partition then do as your manual says.
