Recovering your system to its factory 
condition

If your computer’s problems are not solved by any of the 
other recovery options, you may need to recover its hard drive

factory software:

If you can still run Windows:

a

Click (Start), All Programs, eMachines 
Recovery Center, then click eMachines Recovery 
Center. The eMachines Recovery Center opens.

restarts.

If you cannot run Windows:

a

Turn on or restart your computer.

b

While the computer is starting up, repeatedly press 
F8 until the Recovery Options screen opens. If 
Windows starts to load instead, restart the computer 
and try again.

A complete factory recovery deletes everything on your hard drive, then

access important files on your hard drive, back them up now.
