Hi Laura,
That utility exists on Dell computers. I don't know if it exists on other
computers. I certainly don't have it on any of my comps.

What I was told is that there is a separate partition or section of the disk
where the recovery software is located. Running this will reinitialize
everything back to its original state -- zapping all data files in the
process.
I have already backed up the data so I want to use this "ground 0" program.
I just don't know where to find it or what to look for if I get a
non-tech-savvy sighted family member to help me.
Thanx

ok, what I was talking about is my comp, and several others I have seen in
the recent past have a C: drive and a D: drive set up on the hard drive,
then the CD/DVD RW drive is the E: drive, and the files that you could use
for a reformat/reload of the c drive, and for creation of your restore disks
was in that D drive,
now, there was a while that they put the files in the windows folder and
folks were supposed to make there disks soon after purchase or risk loosing
them, but not knowing your comp, I don't know if this was the case.
sorry I can't assist more,
inthane
