Wiping my computer

[Guest]

Hi is it possible to completely wipe my computer (windows XP) to its factory
settings like it was on the other windows systems. I can't find a way to do
it and my computer is really in need of it

Hi

Do you mean format(wipe)/re-install or return the PC to the state it was in
when you purchased it? There's a difference. For a factory setting, you
can try a 'Repair' install. Dependent on the type of the following article
by Michael Stevens will help you:

"How to Perform a Windows XP Repair Install"

If you have an OEM XP CD, please have a look at the documentation that came
with your PC.
