You didn't mention the laptop's make model etc. Many of the manufacturers build their machines with a 'Recovery Partition' on the hard drive. Accessing it varies with each maker. If it's a newer DELL, you might see a blue 'banner' across the top of the screen when you boot it with in it.

You would simply hit the Alt + F11 key combo I believe which will initiate a complete rebuild. BUT BE CAREFUL - you need to back up your data first because the process involves a disk format. Once it's done - you'll have the PC or Laptop set to factory install. Other companies like HP, Acer, ASUS etc may include a Recovery Disk Maker which will allow you to make the recovery set yourself ( need a number of CDs or DVDs - which the system will tell you ) They all do it today - just each manufacturer does it slightly different.

The advantage of this is that the Recovery Process includes all the drivers and software needed for that model - all you do after it's rebuilt is perform the updates to get it current.

Hey Jenny100 according to him he did, press F8 and nothing happens.At first when he puts on his computer, it would take him to safe mode.I told him not to go into safe mode.Anyway after he got out of safe mode and he rebooted again, and put in the recovery disc and pressed F8, he could here the cd drive running, and it was loading, then he got message, saying that it was incompatible with the windows he was running. I guess the recovery disc is a 64-bit and he has a 32-bit, I asked, but he wasn't sure. His computer is having lot more problems then he thinks, so he is going to have someone look it over.

And it was a site I had to pay for the download under $10 and it was pretty easy with a little time consumming.

• In ZENworks Control Center, click Configuration. • In the Management Zone Settings panel, click Device Management >Preboot Services >Third Party NTFS Driver Integration Settings. • Click the icon to browse for and select the high performance NTFS driver zip file.

• Click Ok to upload to the ZENworks Server. • Click Status to view the status of content replication across all Primary and Satellite Servers with Imaging role in the management zone. You must start the imaging operation only when the status is Available. • An image taken by using the legacy NTFS driver is restored by the legacy NTFS driver. For high performance, these images need to be recreated by using the High Performance NTFS (Tuxera) driver after the driver is uploaded into the ZENworks Control Center and the status is Available. • After a successful upload, this NTFS driver, is integrated with the bootcd_tntfs.iso file in the winutils folder. To use the High Performance NTFS driver, use the bootcd_tntfs.iso file instead of the bootcd.iso file.

• You must upload the Tuxera driver after each ZENworks upgrade. • Export the MBR to a file by using the dd if=/dev/sda of=mbr_win7.bin bs=512 count=1 command.

• Upload the MBR file to server. If the system has 100MB partition (on Windows 7, or Windows Vista), take an image of the 100 MB partition separately by using the legacyntfs switch. To take an image of the 100 MB partition by using the legacyntfs switch, run the following command: # img -mp 100mb.zmg -I=1 -legacyntfs In the above command, -I =1 indicates that you include partition number 1, which is the 100 MB partition. # img -mp.zmg -I=2 -legacyntfs You can use the above command to take image of all partitions on the system, where I indicated the partition number.

To restore the Windows images partition-wise, do the following. • Delete all the partitions by using the img -pd command. For example: img -pd 1 img -pd 2 1 and 2 in the above commands correspond to the hard disk partition number.

• Create the partitions by using the img -pc command. For example: img -pc 1 -type=NTFS -size=100 -legacyntfs (for the 100 MB partition for Windows 7, or Windows Vista). Img -pc 2 -type=NTFS (to restore the C: drive) • Mark the partition 1 as Active by using the img -pa 1 command.

• Restore images partition-wise. Restore the 100MB partition separately by using the legacyntfs switch. • Restore the MBR on the device after restoration. Download the MBR file from the server and run the dd if=mbr_win7.bin of=/dev/sda bs=446 count=1 command.

• Run the sidChange -i command. This command changes the Security Identifier (SID) of the Windows system and it sets the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) offset values of the partition in the registry. If sysprep runs on the base system, or if the restoremask.xml file is present in the system drive, then this command will not cause any changes. • If the partition type is ESP, then the -type value in the command should be FAT32. • Size of MRP partitions depends on the size of the disk. For a disk size less than 16 GB, the MRP partition is 32 MB, and for a disk size more than 16 GB, the MRP partition is 128 MB.

Example: img -pc 1 -type=NTFS -size=300 -guid=WRE img -pc 2 -type=FAT32 -size=100 -guid=ESP img -pc 3 -type=1 -size=128 -guid=MRP img -pc 4 -type=NTFS -size=40000 -guid=MBD • Mark the following three partitions as active by using the img -pa command. • img -r -p win8-efi-recovery.zmg -ap=a1:p1 • img -r -p win8-efi-boot.zmg -ap=a1:p2 • img -r -p win8-efi-msr.zmg -ap=a1:p3 • img -r -p win8-base.zmg -ap=a1:p4 • Run the sidChange –i command. This command changes the Security Identifier (SID) of the Windows system and it sets the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) offset values of the partition in the registry.
