OK. Here it goes.. I got a hand me down Emachines computer with Windows XP Home Edition on it. It was jam packed with millions of games so I wanted to do a factory reset to default so I went to youtube, did as it says and I thoiught I was doing a factory reset to find ouit I just added another Windows XP home Edition and now have 2 OS. So I went to youtube again to see how to delete one of the OS's and again i followed the directions and went to system restore and advanced options and went onto some BOOT screen and deleted one of the partitions and rebooted the pc... wow it took off the OS i had just made but turned it into some windows default OS.. so im thinking if i take off this other Windows XP Home Edition I should be good thinking that this default was like a factory reset default.. well I did it and rebooted and now I can only get my computer to come up with and option for f10 and f2... and that is very limited.. I cant use a win xp home edition disk cuz it was a hand me down that didnt come with it.. If ANYBODY could please help me it would be greatly appreciated.. I feel like such a door knob thinking that I could have reset the pc myself.. i shouldve came here first... :-(
Thank you in advance,
MJ
