You should have a CD supplied with the computer or a recovery that conatins partition which is necessary. Heck your documentation or check with the computer manufacturer for instructions on what to do.
Why do you do this? In the vast majority of cases, it is a serious mistake. With a minimum of care, should never be to reinstall Windows (XP or any other version). I ran Windows 3.0, 3.1, WFWG 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 now, each for the period of time before the next release is out and everyone on two or more machines here. I never reinstalled none of them (with one exception--a problem that I worked on for weeks without success), and I've never had anything more than an occasional minor problem.
It is my belief that this erroneous notion comes from the technical support people in most of the major OEMs. Their solution to almost any problem, for they know not quickly answer is "reformat and reinstall. It is the ideal solution for them. It gets you phone turned off quickly, it almost always works, and it does not need to do any real troubleshooting (a skill that most of them has obviously not in any great degree).
But it leaves you with all the work and all the problems. You must restore all backups of your data, you must reinstall all of your programs, you must reinstall all Windows and updates of the application, you must locate and install all the necessary drivers for your system, you will need to recustomize Windows and all your applications to work the way you are comfortable with.
In addition to all these things being long and painful, you may encounter difficulties with some of them: you will find all your CDs application? You will find all the necessary installation codes? You have data backups to restore? You still remember all the customizations and settings that can be installed to make everything work the way you like it? Sometimes there are problems that are so difficult to resolve that Windows has to be reinstalled properly. But they are few and far between; RESETTLEMENT should not be a substitute for troubleshooting; It should be a last resort, to do that once all other troubleshooting by qualified person attempts have failed.
And perhaps most important: If you reformat and reinstall without knowing what caused your problem, you will most likely repeat the behavior that caused it and quickly find yourself in exactly the same situation.
If you have any problems, post the details of them here; It is likely that someone can help you and you won't have to reinstall.

You can not, for at least one (and two possible) reasons.
1. it isn't clean if you want to have two computers, or you
you want to remove from the old computer and put it on the new. If
you want once, you can't do that - the rule is very clear: there
a copy (or a license) for each computer.There is nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that has been in
effect on all versions of Windows from at least with Windows 3.1.2. but even if you want it on a single and from uninstall
the old computer, you can't do it. It is because if it came with the
computer, it is an OEM version and the biggest drawback to he a
OEM version, is that its license it permanently binds to the first
It is installed on the computer. He can never legally be moved to another
computer, sold or assigned (except with the original computer). -

How to restore backed up files (not the lightroom catalog) from one external drive to another.
I've recently saved my photo files to one external drive to another. The backup (carbon copy clone) pointed out some files corrupt on the original drive.
I deleted these files and find good copies of Time Machine backups.
I want to get rid of the original external drive; use the recent backup as my main outside and then save it to a new disc.
I'm not sure how everything is point lightroom for backups so he knows look on the new drive instead of the old drive and all points of exclamation and question marks go away.
There are close to 60 000 images in several files with a 'parent folder."
My best guess is Lightroom Help - create and manage folders - locate missing files
Can I point to the folder of one of their parents, and all of the subfolders will return?
This is the process for recovering files in lightroom and there will be a problem with so many photos?

Hello John R H,
Are you able to restore system successfully on a different date, or that you get the same result? I looked through this thread and was curious to know why you want to perform a system restore? Having other issues in addition to what you have described?
Try to make a last good known Configuration and see if you are able to perform a system restore.
