How to restore your computer to factory settings without a disk?

How can I restore my computer to factory settings without a disk?

  • its a pentium dual core cpu windows vista and theres just too many problems with it and i'm running out of memory and theres too many files to go through and delete so i'd rather just reset or restore it. help!!!

  • Answer:

    If you could format C: drive, how would you restore windows(you can't, anyway). You would get an error message saying the drive is in use or fail. To restore, just follow the onscreen message at start up. Press F11(on mine) and choose complete format(YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA). If you have a Window Disk, change the boot order and restart with the disk in the drive and follow the instruction. Judging by your question, you should get someone else with more experience than you to do it. The disk I mentioned has to be burned( to a special DVD) by somebody when the computer was working. Most manufacturers do not supply them to save costs.
