Hello,
How do I do a system restore from the boot menu or setup utility?

My computer will only open up to the HP invent screen, and it only give me three options:

Press <Esc> to change boot order
Press <F10> to enter setup
<F12> to boot from LAN

Is there any way I can do a System Restore from any of these places?
I am completely lost and have no Idea what to do!!!
I have tried pressing the F8 option and all of that but it wont start up any more than that one black screen.

Configuration: Windows Vista
Internet Explorer 7.0

If you have the Windows CD/DVD - then change the boot order to boot from the optical disk and reinstall Windows. Please note that ALL data currently on the hard disk will be erased. Good Luck

What make and model computer do you have? Some PCs have a hidden partition on the hard drive that contains a copy of Windows.

It is a H.P,pavilion 6700f pc. Thia computer stoped on me & I had a warranty so H.P. sent me another new hard drive & has been working for about two mo's now yet my system restor will not work. I did go back to different dates a few times & the same ole thing. I also lost my pasting in foxfire but,not windows INT.
