How can you completly restart a computer like it was when brand new?

Answer

Reformat the computer. It will erase EVERYTHING though. so if you have an external harddrive, back everything up in there. But reformatting will erase your operating system as well. lets say you have windows xp. if you reformat, your computer wont be a windows xp unless you install it. This will remove all viruses and your computer will be fast again. Be sure to get a good antivirus and antispyware softares right after you reformat so that its safe.

Answer

Reformat the Hardrive, when you initially turn on the computer enter the boot menu, change the boot sequence to have the CD ROM boot first rather then the Hardrive. Insert Operating system disk and follow on screen instructions....
