    Do you mean it's partitioned?
    Do you have a recovery partition? The documentation that came with your machine should contain instructions how to restore the computer to factory settings.

    Normally your HDD is partitioned to accommodate a recovery system (usually "E")

    If you click on the MS logo bottom left of your screen and type in the search bar "recovery" it should give you the option to restore factory settings,first you need to save to CD,DVD,external HDD any files or folders you want to save and after recovery you will be able to re-install them.
