RE: how do i do a factory restore
Do you have Restore discs, or are you trying to use a Restore partition on the hard disk? What Operating System are you running? XP, Vista, Windows 7?
If you have Restore CD's, put the CD in, and reboot the PC. It should start from the CD and offer to do a Restore.
If it is from a Restore partition on the hard disk, you normally have to press a key during the startup phase to get into it. The key varies by machine, often it is F9 or F10.

RE: how do i do a factory restore
Hang on a minute. Be aware that a factory restore will destroy all your stored data, all your settings, all your programs installed after you bought the computer, all updates. You will face hours of work afterwards getting your computer back to the way it was before. Also, not all computers even have the facility to restore to factory settings.
