Pcv Rx752 Recovery App. Disks

original operating system was corrupted due to virus. I have added 2 new bootup operating systems to this disk. One was a trial copy which expired. One was a new xp disk that I purchased. The C: partition is out of disk space. The original sony folder still exists in the corrupted directory but I cannot access it. Is there a way to restore the computer back to original factory defaults or do I have to clean the disk and find the recovery app software to reinstall?

You will probably be better off wiping the drive and clean installing your new XP. Proprietary software is easy to find and download/install. Use DBAN to wipe the drive and Hiren's boot to format the drive. Your new OS should fire right up.
