Reseting M1530 to factory setttings
How would I go about doing this? Do I just change the Drive number of the recovery partition to C and the other one do E or something else? I want to restore it to factory settings and destroy all other data.
Cheers

I'm stuck at step 3. There is no "Repair Your Computer" option in the Advanced Boot Options menu.
