  • You can buy recovery discs from the manufacturer. Otherwise you'll have to install a new operating system on the machine, unless your niece has a her own operating system install discs? The last resort is sitting there and uninstalling everything, rather you than me.

    Im assuming this is a Windows machine?

    It allows you to make a burnable recovery disk.
