Issues with using PC restore on xps M1530 vista
I have windows seven currently installed on my laptop. Before I installed win7 I had a vista installed. This was the factory setup right out of the factory. Now that I have installed win7 I tried to access the pc restore feature from the recovery tool and it cannot find the image file to do a restore of vista. Something else I noticed when searching around was I originally had four partitions; 1)OEM install, 2)Recovery, 3)OS, and 4)Media Direct 3.5. After I installed win7, the first partion disappeared but the other partitions were labeled 2,3,4.??? Another thing to note I came across the command prompt commands to execute the pc restore option and it didn't work. I also tried putting the vista disc that came with the laptop in and the trying to do the pc restore from the options available with the disc. Help Please.
