So, my friend is giving me her computer ^^
Which is an okay one, but I want to reboot it and unfortunately she doesn't have the restoration CD and I don't know any body who has an extra one. So, anyone know how to reboot a computer without the CD? I heard you can do it with programs :/ | |

I heard you can do it with programs :/ | By reboot do you mean reformat? because if so you need a bootable cd that will partition/format the harddrives, I have an XP torrent thingy you could download and burn as an image to install a brand new system and start from scratch.

GPoints: 60 Rep Power: 0 | You can simply download an installation CD, and it'll do the rest. If there's no restore option at boot up, and you can't burn the CD you can always use an external harddrive that's been formatted properly already and boot up the Operating System that way, then use that to partition the other one. | |
