Solved Option for Clean Install

[fertigline]

I'm trying to do a Repair Install on my wife's computer. It has Windows Vista SP2 platform 32 bit operating system. When I try to make a recovery disk it displays 3 choices:

Create Factory Default Disc
Create Current System Configuration Backup Disc
Create Driver and Application Backup Disc

Which option should be chosen to do a "clean install?"

Thank you for your help.

Hello Fertigline, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Since your wife's computer is a OEM factory store bought computer, a clean install would be a factory recovery instead. This will format Vista, then reinstall Vista back to factory default conditions like when you first turned it on out of the box.

If this is what you wanted to do, then the link below can help show you how to for an Acer brand computer.

Hope this helps,
