It is entirely possible that either the "recovery console", or the supplied "disk", would reformat
the drive and reinstall the factory image. However you do not give enough details for a better
guess.
What is the make and model of the laptop?
What does the "disk" you have say on it?
Did you know that pressing the shift key before your type the pronoun "I" works?

Go here: ftp://ftp.packardbell.com/pub/itemnr/6960870101/6960870101.pdf and
read the installation manual starting on page 56 to restore to original
factory specs.

The actual restore instructions begin on page 57.

Let us know if this helps.
