you can do system recovery which clears your hard drive memory, and when finished, it starts as if your pc is brand new

I am guessing you made the system backup using Windows XP so you should be able to restore it the same way.  Go to START > PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > SYSTEM TOOLS > BACKUP.  You will then see an option to restore from a backup.\n\nI hope this is what you're looking for.\n\nGood luck!

lock the taskbar...or try this.\nYou could try the System Restore which takes you back to a time when your computer was working good. Go To: \nstart\nprograms\naccessories\nsystems tools\nsystem restore\nThis process is completely reversable. And does not remove your personal files. Just go back one checkpoint at a time until your puter is working good again.\nE

If I could not restore the files...\nI would boot the system off a PE disk to gain access to the hard drive and network. Copy the personal files off, re-image the PC from a ghost image that I had previously created, and copy the stuff back.\nLess than 30 minutes to do all this. I do it every day.

You need an original installation disc, or a set of system restore discs, one or the other of which probably came with your computer.
