Hello,
I want to restore my HP Pavilion dv2700 laptop. I have the System Restore program installed on it but I can't find where to do a complete system restore back to factory settings/new condition. It gives me a list of "restore points" that only go back about a month and doesn't give me anything else to choose from. I've been having problems with my computer longer that that so I want to just go all the way back to factory settings. Can someone help? Thanks.

Ashley
