The easiest thing is to restart the process.

deleted the old partitions just leaving the factory restore partition alone. rebooted straight into the factory restore and this morning eyes blearily awake was delighted that it had proceeded normally. turned it on it's quick and peppy and looked at the desktop. i had done it. w/o pulling the cmos battery.

I am having the same problem. I don't know how to do what you did to fix yours, as I am not very good with computers but can follow step by step instructions, if you wouldn't mind posting those. I am so upset that I bought the set of disks and now can't even use them & my netbook is useless.  Thank you for any help.

first of thanks for the reply and sorry to hear you are having the same problem.

if you can get your hands on partition magic (bootable cd) that would get you

to the partitions on the hard drive. i use gparted on puppy linux.. but any linux

distro w/ gparted will get you to the partition table.

what you want to do is two things. 

1) delete the 100meg boot partition, and the next one over from that which

will probably be the biggest partion on the hard drive = c:\ 

2)flag the restore partition to be bootable.  in gparted all you have to do

is right click on the restore partion from the flying menu choose "manage flags"

and the first check box will be "boot(able"

apply your settings, then reboot. the factory restore partition should fire up

without having to press alt-f10.

HOWEVER, this assumes that you do indeed have a factory restore partition

and that someone didn't redo your hard drive with straight win7, erasing

the hard drive entirely. i do hope this isn't the case with you. if so, you

can get replacement dvd's for $15.

good luck

I have this same problem. I am trying to restore factory settings and it hangs up while installing office 2010. I have restarted the process and it happened again. Anything else I can try? I would appreciate the help.

i had the same problem..you need to get another windows cd/dvd any version or any free software to get to your hard drive

partitions..delete the 100mb partition and restart the process

just like Ralex said

Thanks for your answer...I used a linux disk,  removed the partition and everything loaded just fine. God bless you!
