    Just put the windows xp disk in and reboot the computer, boot off the CD. During install delete the partition for the C drive and then recreate it. That should take care of it.

    what computer is it? ninety 9% of laptops have a restore partition so all you may do is push a 2 buttons (diverse for each computer) as your computer boots up and 20 minutes later your computer is because it replaced into the day it got here out of the container.
