Cannot access the option of factory restore?

Hello world. I have an old A505-S69803 that I no longer use. I have been aware of a poor student in a University nearby who profit greatly from a laptop, but cannot afford it. I want to give my Toshiba and I start cleaning off my personal data. Last step, I want to restore it to factory settings, but it does not work.

I read everywhere on the internet that I can get here by organizing '0' during boot, but it doesn't matter. Even the manual Toshiba says to do. Is the closest I get into F8 during startup, and then selecting the Toshiba Recovery Wizard. However, it is demanding recovery media. When I bought the laptop, it was supposed to come with a recovery partition, and I did get NO media.

How can I access the option to restore to factory since the restore partition? Thank you.

Andrew

Hello Andrew

The question is: recovery partition is still available on the HARD disk?
Last is OS installation original Toshiba installation with factory settings?

You can install recovery image using HARD drive recovery option if the laptop has only factory settings.
I presume that you described in the manuals, so if you didn t such fund recovery media s is not possible to have access to recovery files you have two options:
-install the clean version of the OS. Support page all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba
-Restore disc original order from Toshiba

    Thank you

    Problem is this recovery saved disk image external DRIVE cannot be used. In s manuals document is clearly described that the owner of the laptop must create recovery media. This recovery media can be a DVD disc or USB key, depending on the model of laptop.

    What you can do now is to restore disc original order or to install the clean version of the OS with installation of Microsoft disk but it is also not the best solution.

    Hello.

    I have the HP Officejet 6700 Premium e-all-in-one, and I can't find any way to access the color management options.

    The printer is attached (Wi - Fi) to my iMac Mac OS 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion).

    I want to correct a magenta cast for the photos I printed.  I had the problem of magenta-cast in Lightroom and use Preview to print the photos, so now I want to work with color profiles in Photoshop Elements.

    Photoshop Elements is recommended I have 'disable color management in the printer Preferences dialog box.

    However, I am not able to find for the 6700 color management preferences in settings under Mountain Lion:

    Not sub (Apple) > System Preferences > print & Scan.

    Not sub (HP utility) > Open Embedded Web Server.

    Not sub (HP utility) > the printer settings.

    Non-print preview dialog.

    I can't find any clear directions in the online help (HP or elsewhere) that I've read so far.

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

  • Cannot access the recovery of factory on Satellite A500D

    I'm having trouble booting Windows (Vista Home Premium) on a Satellite A500D. The problem started when I connect after being inactive for some time. During the connection process, the screen froze. I waited a few minutes before finally turning off the computer using the power button.

    Since then, the system won start t again. I was able to get to the advanced startup options (F8) and now I can choose "repair my computer". But nothing happens after that, except a black screen and after a while a slightly larger than usual, white mouse pointer. After that nothing, but if I wait long enough the computer turns off.

    Unfortunately, the recovery disk that I created when I bought the computer was damaged when I moved into a new apartment. So I t nor have this option. Any suggestions on what I can do to bring back to life again?

    And would it solve the problem if I bought a new drive with windows vista home premium and use it instead of a recovery disk? If it is an option, it would also work if I bought a disc with windows 7 or XP, cause I put t really like Vista anyway so I don't mind switching.

    Any help is appreciated (and apologies if I put t make sense, English is not my native language).

    > Any suggestions on what I can do to bring back to life again?
    I agree with you that recovery image installation is maybe best solution for you. I put t know why you can not start installation of recovery image but the problem is that you can't force anything. Either it works or not.

    All you can do is try several times, but if there is no success I m afraid you have only two options:
    -for new order recovery disc - https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
    d ' install own OS by using the original installation disc from Microsoft

  • Windows automatically restarts constantly, cannot access the system restore point, cannot access the computer in safe mode

    Hi all

    For the not 24 hours I tried to access my computer in normal mode. When I turn on the pc, it says "configuration data 1 of 3 steps...". 0% complete"he never spent 0% and within seconds, it automatically restarts and starts again. It's so frustrating! I have a windows vista pc (purchased in ' 06). I can only access my desktop in SafeMode.

    I tried to perform a system restore, but not like he says "recovery disk is not the restore point selected. What should I do? I tried to manually create a restore point, but cannot access the system and Maintenance, while in safe mode. I can't do anything but literally access the internet. How can I get Windows back to factory settings it is with these limited resources? I have a Dell reinstallation DVD.

    I searched my programs and found that recently Windows automatically updated and downloaded "Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer" and "for 2007 Office system Compatibility Pack '. Now, I think it has something to do with it, because they were the most recent updates, before the pc crashed. But I also fear that it may be a virus, which has completely hijacked this PC. How am I supposed to get rid of a bug, if I can't even get the necessary antivirus?

    Sorry for the ranting, but it's so stressful when my pc is completely down. Please, please please help me. Thank you in advance for reading this same!

    Hey guys,.

    I am running Vista on my laptop Toshiba P200D. Recently I was making an error whenever I try to open the files that I downloaded from the internet. The message I get is "windows cannot access the specified device path or file. you don't have the appropriate permissions to access the item "."

    I tried,

    • Safe mode (not to fix)
    • (No luck) system restore
    • check security options - I have full access to the file.

    I am running Vista 32 bit. I have avast antivirus running, but is not working and im unable to uninstall it.

    Any help will be accepted with gratitude,

    Thanks in advance,

    Chris.

    PS I'm the system administrator.

    I do not fashion without failure, I advised a SafeMode with networking for network access using a wired connection to download and install Anti-Malware programs.

    If this does not work:

    Download/save the removal of Avast on a friend's computer tool > transfer it using a Flash Player > uninstall the corrupt Avast.

    Which can be the source of the problem.

    As you can not turn it off:

    If under warranty, contact the manufacturer of your laptop.

    If this is not the case, take it to a reputable repair shop, computer room.

  • Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    Hello

    I recently changed to use AVG free Antivirus Vista 2010 edition and since then (next day) seems to be locked out almost everything on the computer other then IE.  Open any kind of .exe translates into "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have the appropriate permissions to access the item. "I can access the Control Panel, but when I try to run something (a user restore Sys account) nothing happens or I get the same error.  I can not even access/cmd?

    Operating system is vista 64 bit home premium
    Computer has 1 which is defined as administrator SP1
    Tried to do a restore of the system in normal mode and safe, the two will not start.

    I have a feeling I know what the problem is, that when you look at the properties > Security "Progam files" in the 5 groupnames user administrator has not enabled in the lower area of permissions?  Guess a virus has locked all accounts to use the machine key files? (When editing and allowing the admin to have full control etc. in written authorization, I get an "access denied" Message.)  Be honest this really problems out of my PC knowledge, I would usually just reformat if I hit I can't solve a problem, but this time reformating is not the best option.

    Thanks in advance for any help, I would really appreciate it, it left me speechless!

    PS. read through the similar questions and have used the "fix windows' programs, with nothing working or me being not able to access something used.

    Hi Dany88,

    First of all, I would say that you uninstall security antivirus vista 2010 of computer software, since there are several questions on the computer after installing. This software may have created conflicts between other programs on the computer.

    As you face problems to access items from 'Control panel', I would say you visit the security software vendor's Web site and search a tool of suppression using which you can uninstall the software.

    Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    If questions are set after uninstalling security software, I suggest that you change the security antivirus vista to some else software or contact the vendor of the software for more information.

    I would also say that you are investigating the computer by using the methods mentioned in the link below.

  • Windows 7 error: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have appropriate permissions to access. »

    Hi I encounter an error message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have appropriate permissions to access. »

    The error message every time I click on administrative tools of the window (including the Control Panel, windows update, the Windows Explorer, etc.) but without impact on other programs I have.

    I rebooted in safe mode and discover that everything works fine (no error message will appear when you click on window management tools).

    I proceed to do a clean boot-> first disable all services of third parties (message yet to come), and then clear the components of the service windows (message yet to come)

    I tried to type "explorer.exe" in the start menu-> search field then click right highlight to run with administrative rights, then received another message of error "Server execution failed".

    I am the administrator account on this PC - and have full access.

    The error seems to have appeared on 11 August after Windows Update the following:

    Update of security for Microsoft Windows (KB2536276, 2556532 2559049, 2560656, 2563894, 2567680), and

    Update for Microsoft Windows KB2563227

    A security update for the Microsoft.net framework 4 client profile (verson 1)

    There is no installation of any software or updates outside the windows update.

    I also tried to restore the windows before August 10, 2011, but that did nothing.

    As the error prevents me to access any object Admin window - I'm unable to retrieve the product ID and write to Microsoft Tech and ask for help.

    I hope some of you can offer the suggestion of possible solutions (I really want to re - install window 7 and other software, I'm sure).

    Thank you.

    Locate the user for example files. C:\Users\[username]\

    If you see no AppData press Alt to see the toolbar at the top of the window, select Tools > folder options, go to the view tab and select "Show hidden files, folders and drives" click OK.

    Go to AppData\Local

    Select all (Ctrl + a).
