I have a Gateway Computer running Vista and it has a 2nd partition with full system recovery software by PC Angel. I was attempting to do a full system restore and didn’t realize I simply had to press F10 during boot and select the recovery option. Instead I inserted the CD that came with the computer labeled “Gateway Microsoft Windows Vista Home 32 bit Operating System Disc” and it also says in finer print “Use this disc to re-install your operating system”.
Now I have stock Vista with no preinstalled software. The partition is still in tact I just can’t figure out how to run the recovery from the Hard drive. What I would like to do is recover this computer back to it’s original state, how it came from the store, with Vista and all the Gateway software preloaded with the PC Angel partition accessible again incase of a need to use it in the future.
