Restoring to factory settings without a disk drive.
First of all I want to apologise if I have posted this in the wrong place, I am really not computer savvy!
I recently bought a netbook for use at University. My University recommended and supplied an antivirus software, which prevented my computer from accessing the internet. After phoning the anti virus support, they said it wasn't their problem and after phoning the university, they told me that they needed to restore the computer to factory setting (which I suspected all along)
After booting the advanced boot menu on start up, I first tried starting in the last known good configuration, that didn't help, but then it told me to boot with the reset CD in the disk drive. I have the disk, however on my netbook, I don't have a disk drive!
I know I could buy an external disk drive, but I don't really want to spend more money than I already have!
Any help will be much appreciated!
