The restore to factory settings uses a disk image that is located on a separate(sometimes hidden) partition on the hard drive. You'll need to find out if this different computer has such a factory image.

Alternatively, depending on which version of Windows you are using, you may be able to use System Restore to recover.

but system restore is off. how do i access and use this hidden partition?
