How do I do a full system re install
My PC is being given away and I want to wipe it clean of all trace of me (user name etc).
I tried to delete my user name using instructions given elsewhere on this site and I must have done something wrong as it hasn't fully worked and is now causing problems eg trying to do an image for backup won't complete as it is looking for the deleted user files.
I can't do system restore as the restore point I created has disappeared from the list!!
I have tried getting support from the supplier - Mesh Computers but the line is continually engaged and they have not replied to my email request for help.
I have a recovery partition on the HDD and a Backup DVD that I created when I first got the PC in 2010. This DVD does not have the system on it but I presume it will allow me to access the recovery partition?
Can anyone ell me how to sort this out please?
