How do I restore my computer to factory settings it got hit with a virus or something so now a stupid antivirus scan thing pops up everytime I try to do something.I really dont mind losing files I have everything backed up I need to.When I put my cd in it gives me options for a restore which are 2 one from way back when and the same settings as now.I want to make it the way it was at the begining but how do I do that?

I got this laptop from my aunt after my cousin used it, how can I reset it back to its factory settings?
It didn’t come with any thing except the charger.

I have 3 disks. Disks 1 and 2 of the “Recovery Disks” and 1 disk of the “System Discs”. How do I restore my laptop to factory defaults? Alt+F10 on the acer logo at the beginning didn’t work. I have restored it before with these disks but I can’t remember how.

I am selling my unibody macbook pro but was wondering how I go about setting it back to factory settings so that all my data is erased and the new user gets it as they would if it was new? I have 3 discs; OS 5 installation disc, applications disc and OS Snow Leopard disc. Could someone explain what I have to do. Thanks.

I have had my powerbook G4 for years now and I think it is time for a fresh start on it. I have moved around quite a bit since 2006 and somehow I have lost the disc. Is there anyway I can restore to factory settings without a disc? I greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I have a Toshiba Satellite A305 Windows Vista
