• System Restore to factory settings after replacing the hard drive?

  I have a Lenovo ThinkCentre A52, which recently required a change of hard disk and the removal of a defective RAM 1 GB stick. When I bought my computer, it came with Windows XP Pro and the new hard drive that the updated computer has Windows XP Pro, but it seems to be missing a large part of the software (drivers and programs) that originally came with the computer, and even if I downloaded and installed most of them since the Lenovo Web site There are still some problems related to software that I can't fix. Ideally, I'd like to go back just to restore the system to the factory settings using the ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery program, but I don't know if it will work. All programs and the necessary drivers will be installed again, even if my current hard drive is not 'knows' thereon? I need to get a Windows XP Pro installation CD, if I want to keep my operating system? Also, is it important that my current hard drive is half the previous, or that I now have half as much RAM?

  Thank you

  After replacing the hard drive, the only way to restore it to the State of the plant is using the Lenovo installation diskettes. You can also ask if Lenovo has a solution to your problem without having to reinstall Windows.

  You can download Lenovo drivers if they are not included on the installation disk. The size of your hard drive does not matter.

• How do I restore the factory settings without recovery disks

  I'm trying to restore my laptop to its factory settings but I don't have the cd to do it with.
  I have bin told I can do using bios by pressing f8 at the boot screen.

  I did it and taken to system restore settings, but I can't find any option to reset to the factory settings.
  The options I see won't let me restore to factory settings.

  Can anyone help?

  Hello

  When you start your notebook F8 repeatedly press. You enter the Advanced startup options. If you n t change anything on preinstalled HDD (delete the second partition, change the structure or installed other OS partitions), you will see option to fix my computer.

  When you start this option, you enter The System Recovery Options. Last option, there are Toshiba Recovery option.

  When you choose this procedure of recovery option should start and you should just follow the menu on the screen.

• Setting up Deskjet 6988 for wireless printing after a reset to the factory settings, using Mac OS 10.8

  Hi - How re - connect to my printer wirelessly after a reset to the factory settings? I use Mac OS 10.8. The network on the printer flashes, and on the Mac, it is listed as "not connected". And the page of report confirms that he has lost all of its data.

  Fortunately, I made a report page before resetting, so I think that I know all of the critical information, I need to come back here, but I can't figure out how to do this.

  I read the installation guide, who said to use an ethernet cable and the CD of HP, but I don't have the CD anymore.

  I tried an ethernet cable and entering the IP address of the printer, but which did not, perhaps because it has more this IP address.

  I tried the steps hereand downloaded the latest version of the HP update software software, but I don't see my printer. I went from my wifi to hpsetup network and then I could see and add a second new instance of my printer, but it did not help, because this second instance of the printer is not connected or the other.

  Interestingly, when I am connected to hpsetup, I can print.

  Can someone help me to re - connect this printer? I'll save the reason for reset for another post!

  Thank you very much!

  FIXED! Sunshyne2005, thanks a lot to direct me to the solution!

  Here's what worked:

  1. Connect to hdsetup
  2. Press the report Page button on the printer (the one with the box)
  3. Continue with step 3 of the Sunshyne2005: open a browser and enter the IP address of hdsetup.
  4. Look around for the wireless configuration wizard (sorry, I can't access is no longer hdsetup, and I just don't remember where it is)
  5. Enter the SSID (name) of the wireless network and the password
  6. Note: You will see a button to finish, but it has no effect. At this point, the printer is successfully added to the wireless network and access the hdsetup disappears. Therefore, the wizard will no longer work, but the important thing is that the printer is connected. : )

  Thanks again, Sunshyne2005!

• Service Pack 1 will not install after that the pc has been reset to the factory settings

  At my pc reset due to problems of crashing and freezing factory settings, when turned on after resetting received masses of updates Service Pack 1 has not been installed, but it shows in the story as being successful. He reappears in the form of waiting for update installation, but when the terms & Condtions accepted the installation takes a few seconds, history shows successful but it has not yet installed. So I can't install SP2 to update Internet Explorer 9

  Hello.

  Thanks for the reply. I found a previous question with a similar problem as mine, there was a solution that I followed and was able to install SP1. I should have done this before my question!
  I also installed SP2. Resetting to the factory settings was a last resort due to a problem I was experiencing, but after installation of SP2 my original problem reappears. The problem is now in terminal phase and looks like a new pc.
  In any case, once again thanks for your help, I know where to go with future questions I have.

• After a restore to the factory settings, where personal files are?

  I recently had a problem on my laptop (gateway) that prevents Windows to boot the system.  I went through the automatic tests on splash screens.  Files were good, the disk check was good, went to a restore point, but still was not able to start.  I got a message that there was no specified "configuration change".  So I chose the option to restore factory settings.  I didn't need a disk to do - it took place without no boot disk required.  There was a message related to the restoration who said that my files could be stored on the hard drive partitioned part.  I couldn't get to my personal files anyway, so I decided to take the chance to do the restore and hope that Windows would save my stuff.  Well, Windows is running, but I can't find my files.  The page of my computer shows 2 hard drives, 'Local' and 'Recovery', but I don't know how to access recovery or if my files are still there.

  Is there a chance that my stuff is still in this machine, or I'm just the GROUND?

  Thanks in advance for any kind souls who can solve the riddle!

  Hello

  "Recovery" partition will be the software that was used to perform the recovery to factory settings.

  We should never touch except to make recovery disks, failure of hard disk for you to reinstall Vista on a new hard drive.

  Windows does not save your data when you perform a restore to the factory settings.

  Your recovery software factory settings is provided by the gateway.

  It is an Option in their software.

  It is the gateway to this topic information.

  "Restoration with automatic data backup.

  http://support.gateway.com/s/software/MICROSOF/Vista/7515418/7515418su532.shtml

  All files and existing files are copied to the C:\Backup folder on the hard drive and a new copy of Windows is installed.

  You will need to contact Gateway Support and ask them where to find your data saved their recovery process if the information above did not save where gateway said it would.

• How to set the Satellite A110-225 on the factory settings?

  Dear Mr./Mrs,

  I would like to reset my 5 + years Satellite A110-225 to the original factory setting. I don't have a dvd or anything. How to go?

  Regards, Rob

  Only way to have the factory settings is to install the recovery image original Toshiba designed for your laptop model.
  He is old enough for laptop and I don t think you can order more.

  Anyway, visit https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx and check if your model is listed.

• I have an Aspire 571 V3 that I thought that I was restoring the factory settings and save my files for

  Hi everyone, I hope that there is someone out there who can help me. I have an Aspire 571 V3 that I picked up at the factory settings, or so I thought. After all the files had been cleared and the system recovered it restarted and displayed a black screen with 'the installation program starts services' and a flashing light below are progressing. It has been that way for hours eight (8). is this normal or should I worry? In its current form, I have no control on the machine on the touch pad or mouse. I have provided with Currys computer recovery discs, but they are not to be recognized.

  Kalimera

  8 hours is a little too, you can try to stop it and repair the resumption of the process.

  do a long press on the power button to stop it

  at the next startup, press Alt + F10, and then check if you are able to start the Acer recovery process

  If it isn't

  Enter the BIOS by pressing F2 at startup

  enable F12 boot menu if not already enabled

  Save and exit

  put your first recovery disk on your laptop

  stop your laptop making the long press the power button / stop

  at the next startup, press F12, and then on the startup list select DVD/CD player

• Tecra M5 - SD card reader works with the factory settings

  Hi all
  My SD card reader has been in place. It will read a few cards of 4 GB and won't read other (usually newer).
  All cards in this problem area are Transcend cards 4GB SD (HC or whatever the format more later is)
  The cards, the M5 will not read can be read both my PDA, but also an old Tecra 9000 (who will also tell the other 4 GB cards)

  The PC was recently engineers have a problem so I asked to look at this problem. They reported that it was a software problem, because if they load the recovery CD (that is, to bring the machine to factory State) the SD card reader reads cards problem OK; Back to my setup and the SD card reader can not read cards SD - error message is "the request cannot be performed because of an i/o device error."

  So I guess that I need new drivers. Very well except that it has no drivers for the drive SD card itself. Its a part of the motherboard. There is a 'secure module SD' on the download from Toshiba site and I downloaded and installed the SD Secure module (dated 2008)
  However, Device Manager still shows that the SD host controller driver is Microsoft version 01/10/2002 6.0.4069.5

  If anyone has ideas on how to fix

• Reset to the factory settings without restoration. Why do I see previous contacts?

  I have a new 5 iPhone.

  I added 6 contacts, 2 new downloaded applications. Saved on iCloud and iTunes.

  I had a very old Apple ID with an email address that I no longer use.

  I created a new Apple ID online by using this:

  Change your Apple - Apple Support ID

  Probably because of something, that I was wrong, there is a conflict between this new Apple ID and one on my iPhone.

  No problem. Because I only had 6 contacts and two additional applications, I decided to reset to the factory settings. I do NOT accept the offer to restore a backup.

  So I guess I now have a new phone out-of-the-box.

  In fact, my 6 contacts were always present. The two extra apps were not present.

  I would be very grateful if someone could explain why the 6 contacts are always present.

  I wonder how many other things could be hiding somewhere, which would not be present out-of-the-box.

  You can use a computer and connect to https://www.icloud.com/ and check the Contacts app it (under the two identifications of Apple as I'm not sure of the exact sequence of events that you did). If they are there and if you have settings > iCloud > Contacts under tension, which could explain from whence they came. With this setting, any changes to the Contacts is immediately synchronized between iCloud and the phone as soon as it is connected to iCloud.

• Cannot restore to the factory settings

  
  

  I have the Acer Aspire 7741z laptop. The computer has frequent problems, and I want to restore it defaults. I've already saved important files and had planned to do a full restore to the factory settings, but the eRecovery program does not work for me. It starts the process, says that it needs to restart, check I want to replace the data on the hard drive and restarts. The problem is, it just restarts. No recovery process, no reset factory default. Alt + F10 during boot process does nothing.

  I checked the partitions still exist, and I made no changes to the system since the purchase (about formats, etc.). Of course, I'm no longer under warranty period, it seems getting direct support from Acer is not going to happen.

  If anyone can help? I really want to restore this laptop to its default settings.
