please help!!
A year ago i bought a HP mini 110 for a spare computer bc i travel all over. Well last week my old computer crashed and it was old so i decided to use my HP mini I turn it on and it acts like it is starting to boot windows then it says "setup preparing your computer for first time use" and after bought 20secs a windows box comes up and says "Windows could not complete the installation to install windows on this computer restart the installation" I did a little research and it said to do a hard drive test and that passed. I am not sure what to do and it doesnt have a cd-rom drive so i cant wait buy windows 7 and reinstall it. It has windows starter on it. If someone could please help me and get this computer working. I called HP and i was 36 days passed warrenty and there was nothing they could do they wanted 60$..SO please help!! Thank You

Microsoft requires that every Windows PC sold have a way of restoring the OS.
For your system, it's a restore partition. Repeatedly press the escape key while the machine is starting up, and it should bring up a screen with the restore option. Select it using the arrow keys.
Warning: i believe that will restroe the machine to the state it was in when it left the factory. Anything you've added will be lost.

I think it is not ESC, on HPs, it is normally F11 you have to keep tapping to get into the reinstallation wizard.
