You can perform a System Recovery on many computers. This will return your hard drive to the ORIGINAL factory configuration, with everything it originally had. First, let's find out if your computer supports it.
SKIP THIS STEP IF YOU CANNOT LOAD WINDOWS.
Go to My Computer, and look under Hard Disk Drives. A lot of PC's today will include two hard disk partitions. There is always a C:\ drive (normally the Windows drive) and often a D:\ drive. The D:\ drive may be called "Recovery" or something like it.
If there is no D:\ drive, you may have to do System Recovery from a disk. Contact your PC manufacturer to order the disks. They're pretty cheap- disks for my PC only cost 13$ including shipping. It's a lot easier than buying a new PC.
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! SYSTEM RECOVERY DELETES *ALL* FILES YOU HAVE CREATED. It restores the hard drive to the original, STRAIGHT FROM THE FACTORY. This means that all files you have created are DELETED! My Documents? GONE! My Pictures? GONE! Installed Programs? GONE! You MUST backup anything you want to keep on a USB drive or memory card!!! A backup utility may be made available to you when you attempt the System Recovery.
Now to perform System Recovery. Restart your PC. As Windows is loading, look for a message that says "Press [KEY] for System Recovery". When you see this message, press the given key and follow the instructions, and hopefully you will be able to perform a successful System Recovery.
If you do not see this message, but see other messages, try pressing them. Example: "Press [KEY] for Startup Options".
