Vista is your operating system. If you restore to factory conditions, it
will automatically give you a reinstalled Vista. Back up your data and
follow the computer mftr.'s instructions for how to restore to factory
conditions. The method varies from computer to computer. Your specific
computer's method will be described in your manual and/or on the computer
mftr.'s website.

If you are restoring 'back to factory conditions' then you will be
re-installing Vista. The way you restore back to factory conditions will
depend upon your PC manufacturer. If the PC manufacturer has supplied you
with 'recovery disks' then just insert the recovery disk, reboot and follow
the onscreen prompts. If the Vista image is on a hidden partition on your
hard then check your PC manual to see how to restore the system.

Prior to restoring I suggest you backup all important documents/files etc
because once you have restored your system all your personal documents/files
etc will be destroyed, so anything you really need make sure you back them
up.
