I got a problem with my computer. I want to re-boot the whole thing. Now do I have to have a certain disk that is for that particular computer? Or can I do that by just installing a new Windows program?

Just take your computer to Best Buy or something.

u wanna re-image

its like starting the computer over straight out the box....

you mean you want to reset the computer back to its factory settings

if that is the case then you should have a disk that came with the computer when it was bought, if not then you will have to replace the hard drive


or before that you could try formatting your hard drive and see if that works for you

with the XBOX? what?

i really dont know anything about computers. so what is formatting the hard drive.

do any of you have AIM so i dont have to wait 30 seconds to respond

You'd have to pay for it.

Either that or ask this question to a forum board for computer nerds. You'll end fucking up your computer listening to most of these people's advice.

okay, call whoever u have a warranty with/ your computer's company customer service line.... and tell em u wanna re-image

they'll give u easy steps most likely, but re-imaging is what u wanna do

To delete everything you had and start from scratch all you need is the windows cd on most computers, want me to explain the steps?
