can't probably reinstall from inside VirtualBox, as this is just the

computer. So I'll give it a try, the hard way!

It may be possible to install the pre-installed version in
VirtualBox. If you have restore disks, chances are you can use them.
You may have to tweak some of the BIOS settings in the virtual
machine. This is covered in the manual. You just have to set some of
the BIOS information strings to match the ones in the real BIOS so
that the install software is happy. I have done this with Toshiba
restore disks in the past when I wiped the original, installed
Linux, and then re-installed Windows in a virtual machine running on
the same box.
