I'd also check to see if there is a system recovery partition on the hard drive. A few ways to check:

- If the C drive is quite a bit less than what it says it should have. For example if the capacity is 120 GB and it shows 110-115 available; that is normal. If it shows like 90-100 available there could be another partition with the recovery.
- Sometimes at startup it will say something like "Press F7 to launch system restore"
- You might also have a recovery program that can run right from Windows.

Other than that I would do what Photon says- just make sure you know how to log into a different Administrator account before you try to wipe out your own profile.
