To do a system restore back to factory default you will either need the install disk that came with the computer or you will need to access the partition on the hard drive that contains the install files.

If installing factory defaults from a partition on the hard drive, you will need to find out with function key will get you into repair mode. This key is different for each make and model.
Computers are different so what would restore one may not restores another. It is best to back up all files onto a disc or drive first as this will take the computer back to factory and remove all everything. A majority of computers use holding down F11 while booting to restore.
