So yeah, I need to restore my computer and I'm too lazy to back up any of my stuff.
Is it possible to restore it fully without losing your documents? I've tried restore points, but mine only go back a few months.

Did I have mention that I have no disk?

[Phoenix]

Then you will find it near impossible

Sorry I have been in Rhodes for the past week


restore from what, what is the problem.?

[Darfin]

I want to restore my computer, without losing my sh-junk.
I don't have any restore points that date back that far.
I don't have a disc.
And I don't have Vista anymore.

[Chantelle]

why do you want to restore it.. what is wrong with it?

if you do not have a disc then your going to have to borrow a friends although you will need to use your existing licence key.


DO you have a partition? you could stick em on that partition while you do whatever you need to with your main sysem but without the tools I dont see what you can do.

[Darfin]

A bunch of craps wrong with it...I just need to start fresh.
How do I make a partition?

/fdisk, but get ur stuff off of it first obviously and make sure u know wut ur doin with that commad, cuz i dont look it up online sumwhere before u use it, or ask chan

[Chantelle]

you wont really need fdisk as that was a utility from the windows 9x boot disk days..

what you do with fdisk you can do with xp disc

you might want to look for partition magic to create a partition if possible... but if your looking for a fresh start your gonna have to either get a copy of windows and either backup or partition

or of course fix your problems

[Darfin]

Alright thanks for the help.
I'll try that out.
Eventually.
