Title: Laptop Issue
Post by: Nerosis on 23-04-2011
Dear Reader,
                    I am having trouble with my laptop at the moment as it has alot of virus and problems on it. I was wondering how i could reset it back to default when i  first bought it. My only problem is that i dont have the disk to do this. If you could help me please comment as this would help me so much.

Thanks

Nerosis

Don't torrent it. That is illegal.

Try and find the discs that came with the machine. Even if you don't have an actual Windows install disk the factory usually ships a recovery disc with their laptops. Boot from that and see what options you have, typically there is a "Restore to Factory" option or similar on those.
