I have emachines model W3650 and want to know how to set back to factory setting.

You'll have to take the hard drive out and hook it up to another computer. When you boot the other computer you can go to device manager. Go to disk management. It should appear as un-allocated space (no D:, E:, Etc) You should get the physical not logical location (0,1, Etc) Right click and see if it will give you the option to format or partition. You can then erase and reformat and set it up as a new partition. You can then install you disk onto it in that computer (MAKE SURE NOT TO CHOOSE TO INSTALL ON THE WRONG DRIVE) and then just plug it back into your tower. If you don't have access to another computer then try use a program called WINtoFLASH and create a bootable usb stick. You will then be able to install off the usb flash drive. You will need daemon tools (virtual drive) and a iso of the version of windows that you have on the recovery disk. Here are links. Just load the iso using daemon tools light. Make not of the virtual drive's letter and plug in your usb and make note of it's letter. Run WINtoFLASH and use the wizard and bam... when it's done you're ready to install.

I cannot give a link to a Windows iso but you can google it.

SOURCE: Need to do system recovery of Emachines Desktop

that includes reinstalling the os (the core system) so the only way to do it is from a disk. I'm sure they are availible for purchase from emachines.
