How do I restart my computer to like it was str8 from the factory?

I want to wipe my computer completely clean. I want it to be like it was the second i took it out its packaging. how do I restart my computer? I dont think It came with a restart cd cus the only cd I remember coming with it are right here and thier for the programs like microsoft word %26amp; all that....|||Restore it. When you boot up your laptop, there is an option to open the system restore program F5(something like that? :)) ) or go to start%26gt;all programs%26gt;accessories%26gt;system tools%26gt;system restore. Choose the earliest date and your all good. But there are still some files left, it just completely uninstalls and undo all the errors that occurred before that date.(doesn't delete files or viruses.)|||If you want to completely clean your computer, you have to reinstall windows and you would need the Windows(XP/Vista) disc for that as well as the drivers disc(which is usually available online, manufacturer's web site). If you have a Dell computer then you can do PC restore which does not require you to use a disc, you can just go to support.dell.com then search for the keyword: "PC restore" otherwise you really have to use the Windows disc...:)








Cheerio!|||all windows come with a installation cd but beware if you use the product key too much you will need to buy a new disk so ask yourself is this worth it? but even if you do that its hard to really wipe it comepletely clean in the hard drive there are virtual sections that are created you can delete the files but the sections are harder to delete unless you can find some good software|||it is called system restore...if there are no saved checkpoints to your liking, then pop a windows xp cd (borrow one, or find one ;D ) into the computer, and go to the new install section....when it asks the partition, delete the current one, and select the option that uses all space....|||buy a box, like a brown cardboard box, then put your computer in the box, Dont forget to tape it up!. then wait 10 minutes. Close your eyes and open it, like when you barely bought it. And ta-da it works like new. I hope this helped!|||start%26gt;all programs%26gt; accessories%26gt;it's in there|||Time machine.
