How do I access my Dell Vista restore partition?
by E Book Reader on Wednesday, July 28th, 2010 | 2 Comments
I replaced Vista with XP Pro. DUMB. There are no drivers for XP for my audio, video, wireless, and SD card reader. The only driver that I could get for XP was for my ethernet. So I have internet, but nothing else. Is there any way to access the restore partition without a restore disk, and without the repair option with F8. When I replaced the OS that went away.
