Vista System Restore (reformat preferred) NO Restore point

by geffmg Aug 4, 2008 4:57AM PDT

I've almost had Vista for a year. I've ran into a bunch of problems along the way but i've sorted them out. Now i've noticed a grave decrease in performance and would like to reformat. Thing is, the thing didn't come with discs and i wasn't very efficient on the backups. Whats my best bet for restoring everything without corrupting my os?

much appreciated.

So what make and model.

Read http://forums.cnet.com/5208-6142_102-0.html?forumID=5&threadID=303483&messageID=2826233 and notice what happens when the rest of the details are supplied. You might get a spot on answer.

ALL the Vista machines I run into allow you to create restore DVDs. But you didn't tell the make or model so the generic answer is "Create your restore DVDs now."
