Back up all the data that you want to save. Once you reformat and restore the computer, all existing data will be completely erased. This includes any email, program files and drivers. Be sure to save your "My Documents" folder.

Reboot your computer. As it boots up, a blue bar will appear across the top of the screen, displaying . As soon as you see this bar, press the "Control + F11" buttons. If you can't press these buttons in time, the computer will complete the boot process.

Click "Restore" on the screen that appears. A warning message will appear, indicating that you will lose all your data. This will initiate the restore process, which will take up to 10 minutes.

Once the process is complete, a message will appear indicating that the system recovery process was successful. Click "Finish" to reboot your computer. Your hard drive is now restored to its original configuration.

Review and accept the End User License Agreement and other legal material that will appear on your screen.

and your done

Thanks
