Hi All
Trying to reboot my pc to factory settings as it has become so slow it is painfull
Have got the 3 cds with all software on but cant find my reboot floppy can any one suggest in layman terms how i can reboot
regards dave

First off, you want to restore your computer, not reboot :)
You need to go into your bios and set the boot sequence to cdrom as first choice. Once you do that, follow the instructions after rebooting. If you don't know how to get into your bios or what I'm talking about, post back :) I doubt you need a floppy.

please help ref bios settings thanks dave

What is your computer brand? someone can more readly help if they knew it. if its a hp, ussaly you press the F10 key as it boots up, if you miss it then reboot and hold the F10 key, look for your boot options, or it may ask you for your disk automatically, my computers access to bios is the DEL key , but I custom built it

sorry got a imedia 4608
1 ghz
packard bell
got into the bios setting and set cdrom as boot up
but just keep getting reboot error please put in boot up disc and press any key
so i put in disc 1 of 3 but it still keeps giving the same message
any help please
regards

Your model shouldn't require a CD to restore it to factory settings.

It should have a hidden partition with the operating system installed.

You can access it by pressing F11 while it's booting, or you should have a SmartRestore icon in your systray.
