Hi Samantha,

If you have a PC from HP/Compaq/Dell or any other branded unit, you can use the Restore CD to reset your system configuration to factory defaults.

OTOH, if you have a retail Windows XP CD-ROM, follow the clean installation routine here:

Hi, what happens if you werent given a restore cd with your computer......I
have restored my HP to factory once before but i dont remember how i did it
:) lol. There is someway in an HP to be able to do it without a cd. Someone

Teresa,

In some HP models, the users need to create the Restore CD set themselves. It's best advisable to contact HP to learn more about their recovery process, which varies from model to model, and brand to brand.
