Hi,

I have a 2008 Dell Vostro 1700 laptop with vista.

I want to reset the laptop back to its factory setting and give it to my nephew.

It has a C: and drive.

The C: drive has vista and all my programs/files

The drive is labelled "recovery" and i have never used it.

I have the vista and drivers/utilities Cd's and product key.

I don't need/want my files/programs anymore.

What do I need to do, to reset the laptop back to when it was new.

Thanks

See here how to access the recovery partition (drivers should restore automatically)
