problems restoring machine back to factory settings
Hi I'm having trouble trying to restore my machine back to factory defaults. I have done this successfully on this machine twice before however this time its not working. I did everything as normal, f8, repair computer, chose the mesh recovery option to reset to factory settings. After about 15 minutes of it cleaning the hhard drive the system trestarted and gave me the swt up system for first time use screens. After going through all these my desktop loaded. However all my previius programs and folders were still there as was the problem with my network adapter driver (one of my reasons for restore)It has also caused my second hdd which was used as a storrage drive to disappear. Now when using f8 I get the usual menu however when I select repair computre it just boots straight to windows and if I select directory services resstore mode it takes me to safe mode. Please can someone help?
