    Boot = start, reboot = restart. I believe what you wanna do is a factory restore, factory reset, or system recovery. By doing so, you will most likely lose all your personal files & programs.

    “Start the restore process by booting your computer from the eRecovery partition. To do this turn on the computer, immediately hold down the “Alt” key while tapping the “F10” key. Once the screen says “Starting Acer eRecovery” you can release Alt and stop tapping F10. Use your arrow keys to select either a factory backup, an eRecovery backup or a recovery from a CD or DVD. After you highlight your desired choice, press the “Enter.””
