The vendor must provide a method to return the machine to the factory state,
otherwise they are in breach of their agreement with Microsoft AFAIK. If
there is no CD then there must be a hidden partition. Look in the manual
that came with the machine, or if all else fails, contact Emachines.
The oem must provide a way to restore the computer back to factory
condition. The restore in winme you saw must have been a customized version
of help and support. XP has no such thing by default, only system restore,
not factory restore. Most likely xp is on a hidden partition and possibly a
floppy supplied by the oem gets it going. Contact the oem if you need more
help on how to restore their machine.
Phil, She didn't receive a recovery cd with her computer. It is an E-machine.
On Windows ME, in Help and Support Home page you can click on System Restore and it goes to regular restore or factor restore. I thought maybe there was on Windows XP too. Thank you for your help....
