Ok so heres my issue.

I have a HP pavillion dv9500t notebook that origianlly came with vista installed. I have since then added dual boot with xp and been useing it like this for a year now.

Im trying to do a total system recovery to get a fresh install of vista only on the computer. I DO still have the HP recovery partition on the drive.

For some reason when i start the computer up and press F11 multiple times to get into the recover mode but it basically ignores my keystrokes and goes to my windows boot manager like usual asking me which os to boot into.

Any thoughts on what's going on here?

Thanks in advance

Try to boot up into Vista and then use the option to repair/restore from there?

cheers ...
