• Is it possible to restore your computer to factory without a backup requirements?

  I restored my computer using my sisters backup disks and I was just wondering.

  Hello

  In regards to what they actually do, there not much in it--a "Factory Reset" from the disk is normally faster than using recovery discs.

  The main advantage of having a set of recovery disks is that they will allow you to reinstall Windows 7, if the recovery Partition corrupted or the HARD drive had to be replaced.

  OEM recovery disks validate the installation by reading a "tattoo" on the bios chip, but as you know that your sisters drives work well on your machine, you can always create a duplicate for yourself the value as follows.

  Download and install the free software ImgBurn.

  1. create an Image file disc the 1st disc of recovery on your laptop - a guide for doing this is here.

  2 write this on a blank DVD Disk Image - a guide to it's here.

  3. Repeat for each subsequent until you have a complete set.

  Kind regards

  Here you are options to reinstall Vista:

• How can I restore my computer to factory settings?

  Original title: looking for professional help, big questions.

  Hello, I have a Dell Latitude d630 laptop, and it has some major problems, I can not understand.

  I am running windows xp service pack 2

  I have a hidden player called drive X, it is also the boot drive, the only way I can access this hard drive is by selecting the

  also repair option when installing my software, this disk is write protected. Don't know, I installed a new hard drive and drive X

  rest, I installed new memory chips and still have the X drive, I don't know where else to look, where this information

  can be stored.

  I try Dariks boot and nuke, kill the drive, tried to format it, tried to remove all across BACK, once I turn the system

  stop and restart, all the information is back.

  also the files and folders have a tendacy auto recover, when deleting files and folders through BACK I get access denied much, have

  tried using Calc to support, but it don't work, suggestions for anyone who would be appreciated, I'm at the point where I am

  ready to pull my hair.

  Looking for programs or on back of syntax remove items from memory, I know that LH high load is used to put programs in upper memory

  blocks, but how do get out you? you are looking for a way to defeat the drive is write-protected, so that I can remove that darn pesty X drive.

• How can I restore my computer to factory settings so that I can give it with peace of mind about my personal information?

  I would only delete personal files.

  Hello

  Remove only the personal folders is not the way to do

  Everyone can recover with the software of data recovery and your user account name, parameters, etc rest...

  And if everyone would recommend "Dban"; who will even remove any recovery partition (which if necessary for purposes of relocation), because it deletes (as its default action) information on any hard disk that it finds in your computer and you need to reinstall the operating system.

  The way to do what you want to do is to reinstall the operating system that your header request initially (but remember the only way to know that your data is never recoverable is to physically destroy the hard drive!).

  Here are the various ways to reinstall the operating system:

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a set of recovery disks to reinstall from.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer (this is why I did not recommend the use of Dban).

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup.

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Hi Jason,

  Since you did a factory restore, you must get in touch with the manufacturer of the computer, for assistance in the recovery, files.

  You can also use your favorite search engine looking for a third party recovery tool recover files.

  Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

• Can I restore my computer to erase my default admin password?

  Well from what I read I can't reset my password.  I changed it just cause last week a member of the family got ahold of him by chance.  I have not connected because I changed it last.  I know what it is but he always tells me that it is the bad pswd.  I tried my old ones too, even tried different variations that it is incase I hit the wrong key.  I don't have a pswd reset disk and I don't have another admin ACCT.  Like I did today.  I don't have a cause of disk windows vista it is pre loaded on my computer when I bought it.

  The only other thing I can think to do so is to restore my computer to factory default settings.  I thought that the last time I had to do this when I got the win32 Trojan horse and could not clean the system I had to configure everything again.  Including the admin account and password.  Someone has other suggestions before I try this road?  I don't want to use software downloaded online if possible cause I have no interest to pay for access to my admin account again.  Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion.

  Sorry another thought I just had was to restore the computer to a date before last week, I changed my pswd.  Would this work?

  Well, I read on the site that you gave me the link.  Very much appreciated.  I'll let you know for sure.  I check with Best Buy Geek Squad who wouldn't tell me SQUAT of course...  That there is a command in the command prompt to raise the level of administrator.  That's what I searched, for the last time now.  I really don't want to restore the computer, but if I have to.  I don't have time to wait until I can get this album which did not belong to me anyway.  And my main fear is that if I use it I'm having probs with the registration key I have for mine.  I guess overall it is possible that the young girl to the geek team did not understand what I was asking.  But they are a bunch of useless people so useful!  I won't buy anything at best buy.  I understand they have geek team for some reason and earn money from good intentions and unconscious that cannot set their own machines.  But the round back in January so that my computer was still under manufacturer's warranty that I called cause them my nephew.  Don't ask me what they were spent, I wasn't there, but he stopped and would not start again.  After taking to run a comprehensive diagnosis on this subject that they don't tell me something if I wasn't going to pay.  So, after calling their toll-free number and this nice lady make a few suggestions I have restored my computer.  Anyway enough of that.  I will let you know thanks for posting, listening and responding that this gave me a migraine pain and eye of squinting at the small text characters.  Laughing out loud
