How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. Hi Charlie, You don't, at least not without the installation media. What problem are you having that brings you to want to try a "Factory Reset" of XP? That's called factory resetting which is what you asked about. And you still can get the updates and Service Packs up until when support ended for XP. In reply to Bill Smithers's post on August 7, Create a free Team What is Teams? Learn more.

If you wish to factory reset Windows XP , you can read the guides carefully. Step 1. Step 2. Set the time for which you want to wipe your partition, then click "OK". Step 3. Click the "Execute Operation" and "Apply" to wipe the data on your partition. To delete everything on Windows XP, restoring it to the factory setting is the right way.
You can do it with or without the original disc. If you do not want to erase your computer data and system by creating a boot disk, you can also do it by connecting the disk to another computer. Remove the disk from the original Windows XP and connect it to another computer as a secondary disk, and then install and use EaseUS BitWiper to wipe the computer. To wipe a computer completely clean without any chance of recovery, we recommend you try to erase the data and OS together.
As factory reset won't wipe the hard drive, and the lost data is still recoverable. Restoring a computer to factory settings is not a perfect method. Roxanne is one of the main contributors to EaseUS and has created multiple posts on digital devices like PCs, Mobile phones, tablets, Mac, etc. She loves to share ideas with people of the same interest. It makes it way easier to play out what will happen after you've made all the changes.
I also think the overall look and feel of EaseUS Partition Master Free makes whatever you're doing with your computer's partitions easy. Partition Master Free can Resize, Move, Merge, Migrate, and Copy disks or partitions; convert to local, change label, defragment, check and explore partition; and much more. A premium upgrade adds free tech support and the ability to resize dynamic volumes.
