Answers:
You can perform a System Recovery on plentiful computers. This will return your hard drive to the ORIGINAL factory configuration, near everything it originally had. First, let's find out if your computer supports it.
SKIP THIS STEP IF YOU CANNOT LOAD WINDOWS.
Go to My Computer, and look lower than Hard Disk Drives. A lot of PC's today will include two hard disk partition. There is always a C:\ drive (normally the Windows drive) and recurrently a D:\ drive. The D:\ drive may be called "Recovery" or something resembling it.
If there is no D:\ drive, you may own to do System Recovery from a disk. Contact your PC manufacturer to decree the disks. They're pretty cheap- disks for my PC only cost 13$ including shipping. It's a great deal easier than buying a new PC.
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! SYSTEM RECOVERY DELETES *ALL* FILES YOU HAVE CREATED. It restores the frozen drive to the original, STRAIGHT FROM THE FACTORY. This process that all files you enjoy created are DELETED! My Documents? GONE! My Pictures? GONE! Installed Programs? GONE! You MUST backup anything you want to keep on a USB drive or memory card! A backup utility may be made available to you when you attempt the System Recovery.
Now to execute System Recovery. Restart your PC. As Windows is loading, look for a message that says "Press [KEY] for System Recovery". When you see this message, press the given push button and follow the instructions, and hopefully you will be able to execute a successful System Recovery.
If you do not see this message, but see other messages, try pressing them. Example: "Press [KEY] for Startup Options".
