Format Windows Vista Without CD

You can also press Alt F10 during startup and perform a factory reset to default settings.

Hello,
To everyone struggling to format their Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo P Vista, I have the solution!!!!!!

I myself searched everywhere to format my Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo P Vista!

WARNING, THIS FORMATTING SOLUTION IS RESERVED FOR LICENSED USERS!
TO FORMAT, YOU WILL NEED THE PRODUCT KEY (written on the central tower) OR TO FIND IT, GO TO START, RIGHT-CLICK ON COMPUTER, THEN PROPERTIES, AND YOUR KEY IS AT THE BOTTOM (copy it on a piece of paper!!)

1st step=> GO TO "COMPUTER" in your start menu
2nd step => GO TO "SYSTEM (C:)"
3rd step=> OPEN THE "x86" FOLDER, IF YOU CAN'T FIND IT, SEARCH FOR IT
4th step=> DOUBLE-CLICK ON THE "setup" APPLICATION
5th step=> FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION
6th random step=> after formatting: TO FREE UP A LOT OF GB ON YOUR HDD (about 30 or more), go to start/computer/system (C:)/find the windows.old folder and delete it! WARNING, if you have photos, videos, etc. to recover, they are located in this folder! So take a look before deleting it!
This formatting is a forced and manual formatting meant for those who know a bit about it; for others, forget it;

Hello, do you want to restore your PC? If that's the case, do you have the upgrade CD? You have the restoration software with it because I have what I need.

Yes, indeed, but what is it good for? I bought it between Christmas and New Year ^^ and I have an online upgrade program, but I would like to format it, but I don't have the CDs!

I might have the solution: go to the control panel, then go to backup and restore center and select advanced restore.
I'm not sure if it will work, but give it a try anyway.

That's correct, you just need to press F11 at startup, but this doesn't work for all computers; the key only works for Packard Bell. Since I have an Acer (which is an evolution of Packard Bell), it should be the same. I haven't tried it, but for others it's Alt + F10 or F1 or others.

My PC is currently two weeks old, I'm running Windows 7, and right now I have a problem with the Wi-Fi key; Windows no longer recognizes it. I tried reinstalling it with its CD, but it wouldn't work.

I'm using an OLITEC Wi-Fi key.

Hello, on some PCs, you just need to press F11 at startup! Do not select system restore (first question) and select system reset (second question).

Hello,

My problem is solved, I simply restored my computer to an earlier point (29/05/2010), thanks to that, my wifi key is working again and I have a very good connection. Moreover, it removed several viruses and some software I had recently installed that I was using, but that's okay, I'll reinstall them. At least it spared me from having to delete all of my software ^^. Goodbye
