How do i reeboot my emachine ??? And no laughing

Be a little more specific please, in your PM you mentioned original factory settings. What is it exactly that you are trying to do?

A simple reboot is just holding down the power button long enough for it to turn off, or if all else fails pull the power cord. SOmething tells me you are wanting more though.

Click the Start Button and move the curson over "shut down". New window appears, choose "shut down" and click "OK".
Unless, as cleetus suspects, there is more to this.
Hey Cleetus: cool. ;-)

in reboot do you mean to reload windows. if that is the case. back up all files you want to keep to disk or cd or something. and then put the system restore disk in the cdrom drive. and then restart the computer and follow the one screen instructions.

Isn't this detective work fun?

the words you are after , are FDISK

and format ,,


what cd,s have you got ,,,or more importantlly what o/s do you want?



only another 16 questions ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,


ps ,we all know **** all ,,,we cheat , and read things on the internet

[wannabe programmer]

i have got....

System restore disk(s)

[freddy]

ok , you have failed to tell us the make , or o/s.


backup any data you want to keep.

restart the machine , enter bios settup , and set first boot device to cd rom ,,

exit settup , saving settings

place restore disk in cd rom

and reboot.


dependant on mfg it may offer to install over orig , or completly install

press the relevant button ,,,and sit and wait
