I think most computers today come with the backup on a partition.

Thats good in that you do not have to worry about loosing discs, and license nonesess. Bad in that it means if your harddrive crashes, you loose your backup...

But anyway, you can access the backup partition on some computers by pressing control-F11 during bootup. This will format the drive, and reinstall windows back to the factory settings.

To state the obvious- You will loose everything, so backup what you can.
