i would like to restore computer to condition same as the day it was received (program\softwear wise). My restore points do NOT allow this to take place. How do I get everything back to day one>
Reinstall Windows followed by your drivers then your applications. To reinstall Windows set your CD-ROM drive as the first boot device in BIOS then follow the procedure given
here. Delete your existing C:\ partition at step #5, create a new one from the unpartitioned space, then format it (NTFS Quick Format) and let the installation run to completion. For instructions on installing your drivers see the
Reinstall Guide link at the top of the page that opens when you click the Solutions tab above this forum.
Get a copy of a backup program I use Power Quest drive image , and once youve reinstalled and configured your OS then make a backup and put it on cd then next time you can have a new system in minutes instead of hours.
