• Cannot restore the factory settings on Pavilion dm3

  After the use of the laptop for about two years now and accumulated quite a waste, I tried to do a restore to factory setting.  When I bought it, I also bought two recovery system DVD - never used or tried before.

  Fact by following the instructions; Insert the first disc (later tried both without success) in the external optical drive, which recognized the drive but do nothing outside to show me the content.  It there is no setup.exe and the disc is no not no matter what autorun.

  The computer works fine, just a bit slow, especially when you turn it on, so I don't want to plant it, but I don't want to clean it up.

  Would appreciate any advice,

  Thank you

  Hello:

  You do not have the Windows Recovery discs.

  You must boot from the first floppy and follow the instructions on the screen.

  The best way to do that is to insert disk 1 into the DVD drive, reboot the laptop.

  At the beginning of the HP welcome screen, press the F9 key to start the start time menu.

  Select the DVD drive, and then press the Enter key.

  The PC should then attempt to boot from the DVD.  A message may appear on the screen that says basically «try to boot from DVD...» Press any key to boot from the DVD... »

  Press a button and the PC should then read the DVD, and you can follow the instructions on the screen.

  After the PC is done with disc 1, it will be ejected and invites you to remove disk 1 and insert disk 2.

  Based on the key F9 does not launch the only time where Start menu, and then press the ESC key and then select the options menu start.

  THANKS A MILLION!  Worked perfectly and absolutely right.  I didn't know the F9 option.

• Restore to factory setting problem

  Hello

  I HAV HP1000 with Windows 7, is have partitioned my hard drive into 3 partitions.

  Now I can't restore the laptop, restor factory setting icon is not active. window does not work correctly.

  I appericiate u guyz WD help.

  thanx

  Partitioning the hard drive usually breaks the recovery feature, changing the drive letters and/or usually convert the hard disk from basic to dynamic disk.

  Try EaseUS Partition Manager to get rid of the additional partitions and convert dynamic back to base:

• After restoring to factory setting... ntoskrnl.exe is missing or damaged

  I have a problem with my Asus R500VD laptop.

  My phone was at a standstill after I opened a few applications and after waiting for a while, I decided to shut it down by holding the power button for a few seconds. After that, I got a BSOD error 0xc0000221 saying ntoskrnl.exe is missing or damaged. I tried to go back to a previous system restore point, tried chkdsk /r (no error based), tried bootrec with all options (it shows 0 found windows installations), tried a full restore to factory (using the on my laptop's recovery partition), but nothing has worked. I always get the error above.

  When I restart, it tries to automatically repair the system (that works, it cannot solve problems automatically) and at some point it changes recent cancellations (complete the recovery I think). I tried the different boot options, but nothing seems to work.

  Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? It doesn't seem to be any corruption in the filesystem (chkdsk), ntoskrnl.exe is not missing...

  Thanks for your help! Greaty I appreciate it! Tips are welcome!

  Hi Blueelvis,

  No, unfortunately I don't have a spare HARD drive. But... I sent it back to the shop where I bought it. Should still be under warranty. I have included all our correspondence to give them an overview of what has been tried. Thanks for your help! I hope that I get a replacement or they're going to fix it. I also ran memtest86 + using The Ultimate Boot Disk and he found loads of errors--not sure whether memory is as bad or if it has something to do with the 8 GB with 64-bit processor.

  Best,

  Rob

• Cannot restore to factory settings - Pavilion a1767c Media Center

  My computer has a "C++ Runtime error' when trying to restore to factory settings with"restore disks. What would cause this?

  Details:

  My system works with Vista. It's an older model but I had no problems with it until it started to freeze at startup and when using Vista (BIOS outdated?). I got the HARD drive tested and it seems to be operational. "However, when I try to use my restore disks from" he published a "Miscrosoft C++ Runtime Error' after that selection of the restore process - close this window of error leads to restore failed.

  The HARD drive has been formatted before restoring, I don't remember. Could this have damaged the recovery section, as everything I have in the recovery partition is an empty folder of recovery and a pcdr.ini file? Please notify.

  WMC, welcome to the forum.

  Here's a guide to help in the recovery process.  There is a video, too.

  It could be a failure of the power supply unit (PSU) the origin of freezing problems.  Here is a guide to help you solve the problem.  The power supply can cause problems that seem not to be related.  It may be related to the problem of recovery you encounter, as well.

• Cannot restore to factory of the Satellite L350

  Hello

  I was having problems with Vista so a friend recommended that I tried ubuntu.

  But now I want to go back to vista, but I can't get my laptop to run restore.
  I tried now pressed 0 while turn also by pressing f8 but it always starts just as usual.

  The Toshiba recovery disc creator isn't on my computer either. I do not have the disks of Vista, but if I remember correctly that my laptop never came with them, I am really stuck on what to do.

  Satellite L350

  Hey,.

  I'm a little confused about your ad Mr. you wrote that you tried Ubuntu but you have installed Ubuntu and Vista deleted or was it just a live Ubuntu disc?

  The Toshiba HDD Recovery feature is described here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

  But something more: the HDD recovery works only with the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba, so if you have installed another OS or an upgrade, this option doesn't work anymore.

  And you're right: the laptop doesn t come with Toshiba Recovery disk because you must create this disk you use Toshiba recovery media creator which is preinstalled. This tool will create a boot disk with a picture of settings which can be restored each time unlike HARD drive recovery which works only with the original installed OS.

  To cut a long story short, just ordered a Toshiba Recovery disk and install it. Then you have the back factory settings :)

• G6-2240SA Pavilion. Cannot restore to factory State

  Pavilion G6-SS40SA running Windows 8.

  I am using this computer for a friend. Somehow, he managed to get an app out there that ran at the start and led it slows to a crawl as well as internet access to the machine almost useless. In an effort to get rid of him, he tried to restore running. However, the destructive or non-destructive options would work. He received error messages - first ' impossible to reset your PC. A required disk partition is missing ", followed by" the drive where Windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again "." I managed to find the program that has been the cause of the problem and uninstalled. He asked me to prepare the computer to factory State, but unfortunately, it won't work - it starts, warns that all data will be lost and I confirm that I want to go forward. He then appears to start the process, but almost immediately end displays a message indicating that no change has been made. Where should I go from here?

  You should use recovery discs.

  If the recovery partition is not intact, then there is no other way.

  If you don't have the disks, you can get then by calling your country a specific HP support line.

  Hi Paul!

  Thanks for your advice.

  I tried everything, but still I can't recovery my machine. Same error persists.

  Is there a possibility of error in my recovery image?  I created the recovery image it there a long time, in a USB key.

  Recovery process starts correctly but, during the process of instalation (not to the reproduction of data or formatting hd), an error occurs, machine is restarted, and initializes it with the message "Restore incomplete".

  Currently, I can see a log file and save a log of datailed in the USB. I don't understand what this newspaper talking about the error of the instalation.

  I have already run all the diagnostic tools, all my hardware is ok and passed all tests.

  Follow the journal:

  

  Before you start a new attempt at a recovery, try the following: (remember to go back and change it later)

  Press the power button and then press the ESC key. Select (press on) press F10 to enter the BIOS. Change the date system on January 20 of the year where you bought your X 2. Once this has been done, go ahead and press F10 again and choose Exit, save the changes.

  Now, try the recovery again.

  I highly recommend that you meet the PM can you receive HP team.
