Help, Possibly?

Well, I dunno if this is the right section but if it isn't can you please move it for me?

Ok so, I am wondering if it is possible to reboot my computer, not shut it down... use common sense, I mean delete everything, make it how it was when it was first taken out of the box and set up for the first time.

Hello,

What is the brand of your computer?

Hello,

Follow these instructions:

I did that, and it went to a blue screen with all there options, in this setup;


System Information
Standard CMOS Features
Advanced BIOS Features
Advanced Chipset Features
Integrated Peripherals
Power Management Setup
PnP / PCI Configuration

Any ideas Doc?

Are you able to boot Windows into normal mode?

I'm not sure what you mean, I'm not the best computer person.

Hello,

Nevermind that.

Try this, in the Start menu, find an option similar to HP System Recovery. Once you find that option, run it and select destructive recovery.

I haven't been able to find it...
Do you have an idea of where it would be?
Or if i could run a search for it?

That's strange. Try a search, see how it goes.

It's search "My Computer" right now, Should I search anything else too?

Scanned, no results.

Hello,

Do you have your HP recovery discs?

No, I got this computer from a friend without anything to go with it except the cords.

Hmm... You don't seem to have any recovery partitions. I don't think you can format the computer unless you have a XP disc.

Crap... How much do one of those discs cost?

I'm not sure if it's still on sale alone.
