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.
thanks for your reply, i gonna try this now.. but i dont know if i accdentaly deleted this recovery parttition.. i just instaled w.vista ultimate x64 above the original xp..
