−	~~===So how do I do it?===~~
−
−	~~There are Four options for removal that can be carried out they are :-~~
−
−	~~#Perform a Return to Manufacturer (Level 0 only)~~
−	~~#Remove All Custom Functions and All Custom Packages (Levels 1 and 2 only)~~
−	~~#Remove All Custom Functions (Level 2 only)~~
−	~~#Remove All Custom Functions Prior to reloading Custom Software (Level 3 only)~~
−
−
−	With Level 2 the Unit will perform exactly as it would ‘Out of the Box’ with the current Software, All Modified / Custom feature will be unavailable, However the new packages that were installed and any programs in the Virtual Disk will still be present on the Internal Hard Drive, If this is all that is required, then carry out only LEVEL 2
