    System shut down, trying to restore, not enough hdd space?


    So my system randomly froze up and shut down. System repair starts up but can not find a problem. I could care less about anything saved on my comp so I would just like to restore to factory settings.

    I put in the disk provided by iBuyPower to restore and when I try to, I get an error saying "not enough hdd space". I also can not get to a restore point as for some reason, there are none showing available now.

    I can not get to the desktop at all. Can not start in safe mode.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you're not fused about loosing date. Then instead of a "Restore". Do a complete re-installation of Windows. Formatting the drive during the installation.

    System Repair Disc - Create
    Disk - Clean and Clean All with Diskpart Command
    Partition or Volume - Create New
    Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7

    If you are interested in doing a clean install of your operating system you can follow the above tutorials. You will first need to create a repair disk first, so you can boot up into it and run diskpart from there. I would highly recommend that you create system image and backup all your files on an external HDD before you proceed.
