 Wiping computer back to factory settings - BobbyG
I have an old Acer 40gb laptop that we are now giving to my son for schoolwork and itunes.

If I am able to trace the original Acer recovery disks, how easy is it to wipe everything out the computer and put it back to its original condition? There is nothing on it that I need.
It runs Windows XP, I did have Microsoft Office on it and I daresay I would be able to put that back on again.

Finally, it is partitioned 20GB each to c: and d: which is a bit of a pain, if I reset this back to scratch again will I be able to change the partitioning?
