Hi guys. Few weeks ago I bought Lenovo S10e netbook. A week ago I messed up my Windows XP and decided to make a clean new installation of Windows 7. Now I decided to go back to Windows XP, but the problem is that I cannot run the recovery utility, because the recovery utility dissapeared.

Is there any way to set this laptop to Factory Settings, so it will be like new?

I also have an external CD-ROM, if it helps.

Hi, bad news ... windows 7 deletes the MBR (Master Boot Record) ...which contains the information to start from recoverey = Press F11 to recover =  is lost....

a very

small chance, try this http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-62978

Hi.

Same problem - i am told my Win 7 registration would run out in xxx days.

If I don't upgrade, does that mean I cannot use the computer, because I can't go back to Win XP???

Cheers
