The emachines CD is the only way, and it's only the newer ones (v4) that DON'T wipe it. And the v4 ones tend to use HD recovery as opposed to CDs.
well if it is registry corruption then this can be rolled back to before the corruption occurred and the machine should boot. Also BSODs may give a clue as to if it's a hardware problem, not much point in doing a restore if it is. You don't always have to be able to load Windows to fix it, that's where boot CDs and the like come in. I was wondering what model the machine was to find out what version recovery it would be using.
