Hello, I have a gateway 817M windows XP Media Center 2005 version the PC did not come with recover discs. I have the option to reinstall windows XP version from my hard drive when booting up I hit the F11 key and it brings me to a restoration screen according to the little booklet that came with the PC i should get 2 options

full system restore ( destructive) or a full system restore ( with backup )

what i get is a dialog box that comes with the following message

"system recovery all flies including data files on user partition will be lost and original factory settings will be recovered to the user partition" the only option i have is to click OK my question is if i hit ok will i get the 2 options or will it just diev right into the destructive restoration

hi there,

what do you really want to do ?

format it to original factory setting or backup the data before?

Thanks
