Ferrari 4000: starting over

I would like to restore my ferrari back to the settings and configs of the day I first turned it on. I didn't create the backup DVD that it prompts you to make when you first use it. What are my options?

Thanks walker...i should be fine because I didn't mess with altering the HD (partitions or changing FAT32).

But what about the Acer eRecovery? How is it different from using the restore CDs that came with it?

When you use the system restore discs that came with your system, it will restore the partition to the factory settings.

Using the recovery CD, does that format your D: drive aswell?
