XP ONLY How to reboot a PCYou should really format the hard drive and re-install windows. Your computer will have either come with recovery cds, to use these you put the CD in, turn the PC off, then back on again. Or a recovery button to press during boot. Please refer to manual. If it didn't follow this guide (assuming you can still use your PC).

On your hard drive (C:\) there will probably be a folder named I386

make a folder called xpsetup and copy the I386 folder into it.

Got to www.freewebs.com/recources and download hard drive boot sector and save it on C:\

Then, download either no service pack, service pack one, or service pack two according to what your computer came with. Extract the zip in the xpsetup folder. Delete the zip.

Start a CD burning tool and add the contents of the xpsetup folder (not the folder itself). In the label section enter according to the following chart.

Version Label to Use

Windows XP Home OEM WXHOEM_EN

Windows XP Home SP 1 OEM XRMHOEM_EN

Windows XP Home SP 1a and SP 2 OEM X1AHOEM_EN

Windows XP Professional OEM WXPOEM_EN

Windows XP Professional SP 1 OEM XRMPOEM_EN

Windows XP Professional SP 1a and SP 2 OEM X1APOEM_EN

Burn the disk.

Leave the disk in and reboot. This will launch the windows recovery or setup console.

WARNING you will loose all data, backup first.

If you mean just reboot, unplug the PC and plug it back in again.
