Im trying to restore my computer. Its a windows xp media edition. I dont have the stats or anything elce because its all messed up with a virus. It still boots and it can run programs. But im geting a bit off topic. When i first got my computer i created a set of recovery disks. When i put the first one in it game me a ton of folders and things i just dont understand. So can someone help me?

(im kinda paniced about this)

Edit: Im not sure if i made what im trying to do clear. I want to restore my computer to the way it was when it came out of the box. The last computer guy said i should use the restore disks i made. But when i put them in all i got was a bunch of odd files i dont understand.

Edit2: Also i should note im on my good computer right now. The internet on it does not work. So im on a old compac. I would have to switch computers to beable to try anything.
