You may want to check for a recovery partition; due to the lack of DVD drive in netbooks and ultrabooks(and OEM cheapness to include disks), these laptops usually have some sort of recovery partition stored on the HD

The only way you would lose this is upgrading the HD, hitting the HD with a OEM Windows disk that doesn't have this, using DBAN on the drive or replacing a dead HD in the netbook, or corrupted

At the BIOS splash screen, see if there is a option that says "system recovery" and then press that key; if it has the recovery partition, it should load on it unless it's deleted or corrupted

you WILL lose ALL OF YOUR DATA doing this! See if you can pull your data off on another machine if you have a SATA cable and system with SATA first if you can do this!

After that, run a factory restore on the netbook
