If you don't have either an install disk or recovery disk, then either
the shop you bought the computer from has ripped you off with pirate
software, or you need to check the documentation of the computer for the
key sequernce to use during BIOS POST to access the hidden "Recovery
Partition", which is a common scheme employed by manufacturers to
minimize costs.

I have this same problem, with a multi-boot system. So, the system restore
method is not going to work any longer because I booted into XP and that
erases your restore points, I did not know this at the time. Just wanted to
see if they worked in that. So, I've been searching for awhile now to try and
find another way to get this working but have found nothing. The mouse and
keyboard work fine in the BIOS, XP, Kubuntu and the Vista disc, but not at
the login screen on Vista. So, I think that I'm S.O.L and have to reinstall
Vista. If anyone knows of another way this would be greatly appreciated,
thanks. Just got Crysis and want to play it on Vista with DX10.

uninstalled my nvidia drivers to replace them with a newer version.
