Hi everyone; How do I revert my xp pro. to factory original status (delete everything that was added. F8 won’t work and I don’t have original CD.
Thanks.

F8 should get you the safe mode menu. You only have a small windows to hit the key, just keep hitting it from the time you press the power button. It should work.

Do you have a usb or ps2 keyboard?

usb keyboard.

Thanks.

There is a setting in the BIOS to recognize USB keyboards on boot up. If that is disabled, it's not picking up your keyboard when you hit f8. You need a usb to ps2 adapter or a ps2 keyboard to get into the bios and change the setting. Or just get a ps2 keyboard and use that to hit f8 and restore.
