x301: how can I get vista back after restoring to xp?

#1 Post by Hukeli » Fri Jun 12, 2009 2:42 am

Hi, Bought x301, an open box but functional one. At the store, they set up vista business with guest user accounts for demo, and didn't restore it to original factory state of vista business for me when i left. They told me to simply run the recovery CD (which has windows XP printed on them). I didn't know, but ran the CD and it restored to XP! I didn't mean to downgrade to XP. Question: How can I get Vista Business back? Thank you for your help! -H
