    Then run the System Restore. You can also download the Windows 7 Home .iso from Digital River, if you do not want to restore with all of the shortcuts and stuff like Wildtangent that came pre-installed with the system.

    Personally I would rather do a restore without the extra OEM stuff, then create a set of DVD's that puts everything that was on the PC out of the box, and have to go through the headache of then uninstalling all the garbage.
