Full System Recovery Windows Vista (Help!)

[Allison Reynolds]

This is really irking me. I want to restart my computer information from the store bought condition of the computers information, like it was brand new. I have done it before, but I can't even remeber how I did it.

It was sooo easy, back when I used the XP, but for Vista, I remembered being super frustrated trying to figure out how to do it, until I finally did. Now the same thing is happening again. Darn it!

Anyone more knowledgeable about computers out here in the WC forums, who can help me? I will be extremely grateful.

I have XP, maybe this will help?

Does that help? Seems too easy to me.

I'm assuming that you want to restore the computer to how it came out of the factory (which would mean that any programs or files added afterwards would be lost). Did your computer come with system recovery CDs/DVDs or does it have a recovery partition on the hard drive?

It turns out my computer has a recovery partition on the hard drive.
