ADVENT T9201 ------ XP - Can i get it as 'out of the box ' condition again?

[[email protected]]

My Advent is about 5 years old and i want to wipe the whole thing clean. I have done this with Vista and it was a piece of cake as it rebooted from a stored space on the hard drive so no disks were needed. I have tapped F8 on start up on the Advent- XP and it doesn't seem to  be the same? is their any help or tips out their please?!.......................

Well, you need to have the XP CD, then choose to boot from the CD.

I'm not familiar with Advent T9201.

Normally you would search manufacturer's website for users guide or recovery instructions for that model.  It should tell you whether it comes with recovery partition on hard drive, recovery CDs, or both (and instructions on how to access).  Look for a Downloads or Support link on the website.

A quick google came up with this.  See if the Recovery Disc subsection of this link Advent T9201 PC looks reasonable.
