Need to Restore Computer to Factory Settings

I need to restore XP back to factory, but don't have the disk. Does XP have a utility in it that will allow this?

Re: Need to Restore Computer to Factory Settings
Hi Conflict. I have changed your Discussion title to give a clearer indication of your question. For future reference, please be as descriptive as possible in both the heading of your Discussion as well as the post itself.

Now, there are only three ways to restore a computer fully:

  • Restore CD provided by Manufacturer

  • Recovery Partition installed by Manufacturer

  • Original Windows CD with valid COA (Certificate of Authenticity)

We really cannot provide anymore information to you based on the information you provided us. Can you please provide your computer's manufacturer and model number?
