Question about restoration on vista?

I have a compaq presario C502US Notebook pc. And i need to restore the whole computer. i have gone into the system restore but for some reason my computer has not created any restoration points. When i bought the laptop there were no restore disks. I have no clue what to do i desperately need to restore the whole computer so if any one has any ideas on how to restore my laptop please anything could help.

Thanks in advance

Answers:
brand-name computers often don't come with restore disks these days. your supposed to burn them yourself. go to the Start>All Programs menu and look for the Compaq folder, in there may be the shorcut to the restore disks creation function.

there is also a possibility that it's handled through the computer manufacturer's backup and restore function (if it has that) --- on my Acer it's like that.

you will have that function so if you can't find it, look in that same Comapaq folder (or there abouts) for the manual for your pc, it will explain how to do it in there (look for "create restore disks).

you want to use DVDs if possible

Note: I have absolutely no idea why others here at Y!A don't seem to know about that. not getting disks with computers is common now.

since you just purchased the computer if you go to the microsoft web site theree is a place to get a vista disk or contact compaq and they will be able to get you a disk.
Contact Compaq, you need the restore disks. You didn't get any disks at all? That's strange.
