Restore OS to factory setting?

#1 Post by renhui » Tue Oct 03, 2006 10:21 pm

I am thinking of reinstalling the OS by restoring it to factory settings. I currently have four partitions, can I just restore the OS to the C drive without affecting other partitions?
Thanks a lot.

No.

A quick update here:

It turned out that you CAN restore the OS to factory settings without affecting other partitions. Just select "format C: only"when you are prompted with something like where you want to restore the OS to. :lol:

But I did a full HDD backup before the restore anyway.

Good to know, I've never seen the option before.
