Answer Hi again Sam,
Did you get a Restore disk with the puter when you bought it?
Do you have registered XP software to re-install?
You can try holding the Ctrl and F11 key on boot to see if the puter came with Ghost, if so then you can restore to the day you bought it.
Otherwise I can give you another option, it will take a lil work at a help forum though.
Let me know.
