Just restore it! That will set your computer back to the way it was when you first got it. Erasing all files you put on there since, leaving the OS and other standard stuff intact. Did you get a bad virus?

What you will need to do is to Download Windows live Boot CD or some other Boot cd. insert it in your drive, restart your comp. and boot from cd. Once the cd is booted up go to My computer right click "C" and format. Everything will be erased unless you do it all maually.

how do you restore it.

When your computer boots up hit F3 or F12 i think, i dont feel like restarting mine to find out... But there should be an option to restore somewhere in that menu.
