Did you get any restore disks with the computer. If you did, you insert it and boot up. It should give you directions.

I didn't get any discs with it, but, however, I did create recovery discs; would this be the right discs to use? By the way, thank you for repling to my post.

Yup, and it's shocking how many people fail to create those recovery discs.

Make sure it's not a hardware problem...if it is, you're just wasting your time with the restore. You realize that you'll lose all your files, right? Hopefully you have them backed up. You may need to dig up drivers after the reinstall too.
