[Morlo]

hi just wondered if any knows how to reboot a packard bell MH36-V200 i want everything off the laptop so it is like new again, i have no disc and i cant figure out how to do

For starters you will require some sort of storage device to put everything onto. I recommend using an external hard drive (borrow one if you can) and then reboot the laptop using a boot disc.

as an addition to above

I don't know anything about this model but normally they have a recovery partition and you have to make a recovery cd to boot it back from the recovery partition

have a read here and see if it is of any help
