    I've clicked alien respawn... and restore, etc...
    But there is NO option anywhere, for going back to factory default... not even restoring to an earlier point in time :confused:
    No options what so ever...

    I really want to start the system from scratch, but how can i do this?

    Boot from the recovery partition on your HDD?

    I think it's F8 on boot then repair/diagnostics > Alien Respawn.

    Something like that, i should know though i did it just yesterday.
