i bought a computer it wasnt fast so i paid a friend to make to faster i
gave
him all the disks i got with the pc but never got them back he said they
wouldnt work anymore.i have no recovery disks and ive been have alot of
problems i have no windows disk.ive tried windows restore point.how do i get
the pc back to the day i got it back from my friend and is there anyway i
can make a disk for the future incase this happens again.
==========================
In view of this and several other posts you made during the last
seven days I recommend you do a clean start:
- Set your BIOS to make the CD drive its primary boot device.
- Boot the machine with your WinXP Cd.
- Allow the hard disk to be formatted. You will, of course, lose
all data currently on the disk.
- Procedd with a full Windows installation.
- Do not listen to "friends" who offer to make your PC go faster.
