• 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.

• Create product recovery media does not work after restoring to factory settings

  Updated my T500 from 160 to 320 GB.

  First of all, ran the RnR restore to factory settings with the product recovery media that I made earlier. And then restored my C: volume from my Windows Home Server backup.

  Everything seems as usual except my service partition is now f: instead of S: and my Lenovo partition is H: instead of q:-I tested it I can get into the RnR with F11 service partition.

  But when I try to create new recovery media product the ICT box is grayed out on the first prompt so I can't continue. Put back the partition of Lenovo on q: in disk management has not changed anything, he would let me change the letter of the service partition.

  It's no big deal - I still have my original disks - but it would be good to know what I could improve for the next time I have to do a restore.

  Think that I thought about it - when I restored my C volume I also restored a version of RnR who 'knows' I already burned disks. So next time if I want to burn new disks, I need to do on the version of the system factory setting before you restore the volume C:.

• the last IOS installation froze my iphone 6 and iTunes says that it needs to be restored to factory settings.

  Install the last IOS froze my iphone 6. iTunes shows it must have installed at the factory. How can I back up all my data?

  You will get the option to "update" only when force you it into recovery mode. you might get lucky. If you cannot update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  If she needs a complete restoration to factory settings then get what you can from iCloud and all other internet accounts that you use.

  Synchronize what you can save on your computer also.

  You can re - download apps etc for free, but if you do not have a return to the top, then you can only look at the expensive data recovery options

  If you do not have to restore as new then make sure to run iCloud back ups or regularly back up on iTunes before you do updates in the future.

  Restoring to factory settings formats the disc, and which erases
  everything what he. You probably get something new, but you can
  try to do a search on the web for a recovery program that unformats the reader
  like here: http://www.easeus.com/resource/unformat.htm

  If you unformat the drive successfully and can recover lost files
  back, the first thing you should do copy on an external
  (CD, DVD, USB sticks, external hard drives, etc.).
  Two other points/questions:

  1. why restore you to the factory settings? This is usually the worst
  approach to solve a problem, there's a lot of extra long hard
  work and often leads to problems of its own (as it did here).

  2. I assume you have no backup on external media from your
  photos of important files etc. In this case. you played with
  the fire. You can read this article on the backup that I wrote:

• R & R - no option to restore to factory settings (T420)

  Nice day

  I got ThinkPad T420i for 3.5 years.

  Recently, my hard drive is damaged and I have problem with restoring my ThinkPad to the factory settings.

  3 years ago, I created a recovery media: recovery and rescue and three DVD boot disk. Now, when I try to restore using the boot disk I have no recovery option factory or restore the factory settings. It was the only backup restore and when I chose the CD/DVD I got 'Please insert the disk labeled C Final'. I inserted the last of my three DVD and I still had the same message...

  .. Thus, by using another hdd with Windows 7 costs I have prepared new boot CD in Rescue and Recovery 4.52. When I boot my THinkPad to boot the new CD, I can see the factory recovery but I can't yet to recover my system.

  Please help me, how can I restore Windows7?

  I use the new hard disk.

  Standalone RNR has been loaded from somewhere Standalone RNR CAN NOT do a cover of a DVD set of recovery plant.

  Have you changed the BIOS to set the as 1st boot device dvd burner? (- or - change the boot sequence).

  Did you by chance hit PF11 at boot time? and make it appear autonomous RNR on the new HARD drive or old HDD?

  Swapping hdd and SSD will not help the situation. First goal is to start the RECOVERY system with its own set of panels. The recovery system will show issues? Resumption of the plant? Your HARD drive will be erased, etc, before you will be asked to load the data DVD 1.

  If you can rerun your test, and autonomous RNR charge up, click on the? at the top right of the screen.  Select 'about' and what version of standalone RNR has loaded.  If it is the rnr 5.2, you started from the wrong device.

  See if you can locate a Recovery DVD standalone boot 3 years ago. The start of recovery screen differs from independently RNR. Is it possbile 3 years ago, that you have also created a Rescue CD/dvd?

  Perhaps another user T420, with a series of factory recovery DVDs, can tell us what the directory on the boot Recovery DVD should look like.  My OLD vista recovery DVDs directory looks like your startup with an additional record of RECOVERY DVD. Again, I think that standalone RNR will NOT restore a RECOVERY dvd set.  Lenovo has changed the stuff of recovery over the years.  A restored T420 factory user using a recovery DVD set can give the best advice.

• I can well picked up a carrier locked iPhone 5 that has been restored to factory settings?

  Hello

  I hope to trade in my old iPhone 5 (I currently use a 5s) either finance or credit of the store to an iPhone SE.

  However, the situation with my iPhone 5 is complicated.

  • It was bought by my father's business (I used to work there).
  • It is carrier locked to Vodafone (UK network), but I currently reside in Chicago.
  • When I got my 5s I'm from carrier, but kept my old number - so I did not have a Vodafone SIM.
  • My brother used my 5 for awhile. He gave me back restored to factory settings.
  • I can not set up because I do not have a Vodafone SIM.

  In these circumstances, may I take it to an Apple Store to trade it?

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  Yes - not sure how much you can get for it

  But if you can prove that you are the legal owner of the phone (as opposed to the Affairs of your dad) so you should be clear

  You also mention that your brother has used - which was on Vodafone

  Hello

  My HP Envy beats edition is 2 years old and recently had a problem starting and we have restored to factory settings since it was the only option they don't have no recovery points on the system.  It freezes for a split second, and then a blue screen at random intervals. When this happens, he mentions something about a process of dumping of physical memory, and then restart windows.

  I am able to go into windows and use normal programs, but suddenly the blue screen appears and it stops again. Especially when I use the mouse.  I don't know what the problem is. Help, please.

  Thanks for the reply! Now that I have this information, I would like you to try the procedure described in this document to Microsoft for the resolution in Windows 7 stop errors (blue screen)
