Hey all, I've got a question I hope someone can help me with. Right now, I am running Windows Vista Ultimate on my laptop and I just upgraded from Windows XP. Windows XP was what was originally installed on my laptop, and if I ever had computer problems, I would just restore factory settings from the recovery menu when I booted up my laptop (this would take me back to Windows XP and remove all of my applications). Well, when I upgraded to Vista I lost some hard disk space, and I want to go back to XP for the time being. So, first I turned off my computer and when it loaded I pressed the blue Access IBM button to open the Access IBM menu during the boot up, but since I am running Vista, I don't get the Access IBM menu. I get a list of choices for booting up, but Vista is the only OS that I can select. My question is this, is their a way for me get to the Access IBM menu where I can restore factory settingsin Vista? If so, could you link to some drivers or whatever it is that I will need? I appreciate the help very much.
Thanks,
Michael
