Can you restore it when you reboot by hitting (on my keyboard it's F11
before it completely goes to the desktop) it repeatedly to make you select
hard restore or "soft" restore (puts everything in a folder on the hard
drive and restores through back up or D drive where the original back up
files are)? Did the computer come with any restoral discs?
