• 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.

• 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!

  How can I get inside this computer?

  Thank you

  Hello

  See if you can remove the Admin password - see here.

  Once done, try option 1 in my previous post.  Otherwise, the only other options are the order of disk recovery or so laptop comes with Windows 7, try the following.

  There may be a work-around if you have (or can borrow) an installation disc Windows 7 at retail which is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, it comes to the retail version accurate, you would need.

  If you have access to it, just use the retail disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key on the underside of your laptop when requested and when installation is complete, use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want just a new installation of Windows 7 without the software load additional delivered normally with OEM installations.

  Additional drivers, you may need to find from here.

• How to extract data from your laptop with crushed Windows Vista without restoring to the factory settings?

  > Is it possible to reset to factory settings complete with recovery or partition without a name?

  In General, you have two options:
  Either you try to retrieve the laptop using recovery disk as described here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
  or you will recover the laptop using the Toshiba Recovery disk which you likely has not been created in the past using Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. Right.

  Well, if the recovery of HARD drive does not work (whatever the reason), then you must use the recovery disc. If recover disk has not been created in the past, you can order the CD here:

• Clueless users accidentally restore their machines to the factory settings. How is that possible?

  I had one up to four cases where users have restored their machines to the factory settings. These users know nothing about computers and appear to be shocked as much as me on the fact that it has been restored. By default, all windows restore features are disabled by group policy which covers everyone. This means that they are using the Dell restore feature on their machines and unknowingly restore their systems. It only happens on newer Dell computers that we began to receive that comes with Windows 7.

  The last of them was the straw that broke the camels back. She said she kept tripping his power strip that caused here system constantly crash. I don't know who got the windows of catering for here to push blindly. She does not deny that she does nothing wrong and now trying to blame us (IT Dept) for the system being reset.

  Is it possible that the System Restore automatically after constant incidents or the user must press a button to get there? Questions that you need to restore, I see that there may be a restoration to a simple pressure to default settings. Or am I wrong?

  I found as follows to disable the system restore feature Dell and will apply to all new machines. I searched for examples of what happens to others but have not turned to the top of any "accidental restores.

  wesodo,

  System Restore should not be the problem, something has caused the shutdown of the system. Try to run full diagnostics, press F12 on startup and report to the back of any error message.

  Since you are the it Department, maybe delete the original image, given that you should have drives for the operating system for each system. If no disk were made, the attempt to read...

  Windows 7 - IMPORTANT Windows 7 to create backup discs

  I guess that when the system crashed, he triggered the problem with starting the system. The person should have come to you at this moment there, but didn't. Then they tried to startup repair, when they were invited, then it did not work, then, you are prompted to restore the original image system. If the original image is deleted, then they will have to come to you for help.

• 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

• 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.

  How do I restore my windows 7 to its factory settings? as a new installation!

  If you have bought and installed Windows 7 yourself, see the following resources:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

  If it is preinstalled on your computer.

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is available for the most popular brands

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Samsung: Press the F4 key to the Samsung logo when you turn first.

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
