  If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7:
   
  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.
   
   
   
  -Samsung uses ESC on most of its systems
   
  -HP use F9 on most of its systems

  -Acer use F12 on most of its systems, but often you need to go into BIOS to allow

  -Dell uses F12
   
   
   
  In general, look at the screen during the POST for a tip for what is possible.
   
   
   
  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

  I did the updates of Microsoft Windows, using Windows Update, published Tuesday, November 11 for my HP Touchsmart spectrum 15-400ea. He has since a reboot is a sunsequently could not start and I get a black screen. No attempt to start 'blind' in BIOS worked - all components are workign except the screen.
  
  I tried to restore the hard drive using desktop imy PC and then things went really wrong.  get nothing on the screen while all components appear to be working properly

  I'm sorry that I post back. I was given an offer too good to refuse services HP customer. They accepted the Ultrabook returned as a RTB at their expense, and when I came back, it was in full working order, although costs in Factory mode. Fortunately, all the important things I have are on the cloud then I lose nothing of note.

  I would like to thank HP for do this, even though it was out of warranty, and the Ultrabook does not glitched at all since I got back.

• Dell Vostro 1520 / formatting now WiFi NOT work...

  Hello

  I formatted my Dell Vostro 1520 and now the wifi does not work, I get an exclamaition mark on my device manager...

  Thanks in advance

  When you perform a clean installation of Windows (which is what I assume you are talking about "formatted my Dell Vostro), you must reinstall all hardware drivers.

  If you have used a method of restoration costs of factory Dell, then drivers for integrated hardware would have been included.

  So...

  If you used a CD to install Windows XP to do a clean install of windows AND your wifi adapter is built into your computer, go to the Dell Support, enter your Service tag, download drivers for your computer.  Note: you must proceed even if your wifi adapter is not integrated into your computer, because you must install drivers for other devices on your computer.

  If your wifi adapter is NOT integrated with your computer, visit the website of the manufacturer of the adapter, and download the appropriate driver.

• Restoring factory EliteBook 8730w (Mobile Workstation)

  Anyone know if there is a recovery on the 8730w default partition?

  I have a machine to a dismissed employee, nobody knows the user login, there doesn't seem to be an admin user, the hard drive has a special native mode SATA driver so that I can not start with a brick it emergency linux boot disk... no user is "with HP SpareKey" (whatever that is or has been).

  F11 does not start on a factory restore partition and there is no option to boot for the restoration of the factory menu (press ESC at startup and the options are: F1 - Information System;) F2 - Diagnostics; F3 - Insider Intel CIRA - what of * that *?; F7 - HP SpareKey; F9 - device boot options; F12 - initialization of the network; Sign up - keep booting)

  Quite sad, really

  Please don't tell me that I need to find the disk supplied with the machine because that will not happen!

  Hey, Chris:

  Just order a new set of recovery disks by calling HP to 1-800-334-5144.  You will need to provide the model # and # of series.

  It costs $10.

  If F11 does not work, then the recovery partition is either missing, or faulty.

  You can also make your own drive of W7 or Vista installation and reinstall this way if you can read the 25 product key MS Vista or W7 characters on the bottom of the laptop.

  If you want to go this route, please let me know what OS you are running and give you directions to setup you need to do different procedures for Vista or W7.

• Satellite L350-277 - how to recover to factory settings?

  I had a lot of problems with my Satellite L350-277. I had already created a recovery to help drive the Tech that was installed on the laptop guy.

  In any case, it is time to reinstall again to the State of the plant. Thoughtless I pulled a drive of my computer Vista laptop satellite (I thought it was the original disc). All goes well until it restarts after you install windows system. On the screen was the warning that the product key was wrong, that's when I noticed the Vista on the screen. So I tracked down to the copy I made, it was not in the channel where I put the original his was among all the garbage I've had in the area (where I put all the waste). He was full of scratches and it does not load.

  What I had actually done using the Vista disc has been clear the program on the D drive that reads from Windows 7. I ended up going to the PCWorld Tech guys. They have reinstalled windows 7 for the cost of £50. I didn't mind that I got my laptop working again. What I did not know according to them, was I can't create a recovery disk.

  So to my question. Can I get my laptop back with all Toshiba knick knacks, so that its possible to create a restore disk. If not, can I get a Windows 7 disc installation program, download all drivers & create a restore disk in case of something that happens and I can reinstall windows 7? Get cramps in my fingers now. I'm not going on a little lol.

  Hey Buddy,

  That s a little confused is your story...

  Normally you get factory settings if you are using the Toshiba recovery disc. It will restore the pre-installed Windows version that came with your laptop.

  If you have Windows 7, you can t create a Toshiba Recovery disk. Only possible on what s preinstalled Windows from Toshiba, but if you install your own copy, you can create such a floppy.

  If you have the original operating system back, you can order a recovery disc Toshiba here:

• Can I update the image of factory restore?

  Hi all

  I recently had the pleasure to make a 'factory restore' on a M100 and an A300.

  While the process went smoothly (even if the A300 recovery disk creator should not be put back first to make it work), data that has been restored were, of course, obsolete because he didn't understand not updates either the operating system (Vista Home Basic) or to one of the Toshiba Software (including drivers and tools utility).

  I know that you can return the system to Toshiba for a new image of the HARD drive by them (at great cost), but I don't know if that provides a picture of 'update' or if she simply replaces the original image (obsolete).

  Is it possible the 'factory restore' image stored on the recovery partition can be updated and a user, or a technician of the 'non-Toshiba"without having recourse to external software such as Acronis?

  Thanks in advance for all advice offered.

  Hey Buddy,

  No, you can update the image of factory restore t. Settings (Windows, driver, etc.) are stored in an image that can t be changed or updated because these settings are pre-tested on your laptop computer and any change would be not compatible. In addition, I think that Windows updates are made with two or three clicks, you need just to a good internet connection. Alternative, you install Microsoft's latest Service Pack which contains many important updates ;)

  By the way: I made my own image using Acronis image. After the installation of recovery disk Toshiba I removed all applications that I n t need (ConfigFree for example), installed the Windows updates and my other apps that I need (Skype, Office, etc.). After that, I tested the laptop a bit and finally and especially that I created an image with Acronis. So I can restore my own settings every time too. ;)

• HP Z200: computer Factory Reset

  Hello
  
  I have a used hp Z200 Office I want to restore to its factory condition. The problem is that it has a password and username, I do not know and when I press f11 it gives me only recovery option and it's 'Launch Startup Repair', which records all the files, users and passwords automatically without giving me the option not to do. So how I completely restore the computer to its original state without keeping all this?

  Hello:

  If you live in the USA/Canada, the only suggestion I can offer would be to call HP to this number 1-800-334-5144 and order a set of recovery disc for your PC.

  Have the serial number of the PC handy to give to the customer service rep.

  A game costs about $10 by 1st class mail.

• Envy 17 t: How do factory reset on a new HD to Win8 after upgrade to Win 8.1?

  Sorry in advance for the confusing explanation!
  My hard drive recently started to crash my laptop and after a few searches using the diagnostics in the bios, I realized that it was defective. I thought I was lucky cause I made a recovery from USB, however, I did after my PC upgraded to Windows factory installed Windows 8 8.1! The upgrade was in a day or two after, I started to use my laptop and I do not do the recovery disk before upgrading!
  Now that I have installed my new HD and USB to load Windows 8.1, Windows asks me to activate Windows! Apparently if you install 8.1 Windows from a recovery disk on a PC provided with Windows 8, you need to activate it!
  So, the answer is that I somehow instal Windows 8 on my laptop on the new hard drive and then upgrade to Windows 8.1! Apparently, if you make a recovery 8.1 on a PC USB disk that has been upgraded from Win8, then a version of win8 is included on the DISC of RECOVERY USB. I can't find any way to install Win8 on my new drive hard using the recovery USB disk that I created after I updated my PC! There is no help anywhere about this problem, a nice person can you please help?
  I still have my original hard drive with partition recovery still on it, and although this hard drive crash the laptop regularly, I still might be able to make some kind of recovery USB or DVD using, if only someone could kindly help me to do so.
  I have to install two hard drives in laptop but the cable and caddy to do this is VERY expensive here in the United Kingdom and it will take a few weeks to get from the United States. Despite this, I really don't know what to do even if I had two drives connected to the laptop at the same time!
  Thank you very much in advance for any help you can give me.

  Hello
  Just as an update...
  If you buy a PC with an operating system already installed on it and it upgrades before making a recovery media, you can recover to the upgraded operating system because windows will ask you for the key. If like me, you did not receive a key, just the operating system on a hard disk partition, and if that hard drive crashes, you're completely banjaxed! I bought my laptop HP in the United States, the United Kingdom HP, although very useful, would not give me a recovery media for my PC because it was American and HP in the United States would not be me send them because they are not allowed to send overseas. In the end, I had to call Microsoft and literally had this were begging for almost 2 hours, and after making me literally try every little thing that I had already tried several times by myself, they basically told me that I had to buy a key that would cost me about £200 for Windows complete 10! Finally, after a lot of explanations, they really gave me 'once only' keys for win10, so I now have a fully functional win10 BONE, but if something should go wrong again, I have to pay to buy a new. Fair enough, I suppose, a little warning to those of you who bought a computer laptop win 8 and immediately improved to win8.1, they will say that win 8 will appear on your media recovery as well as 8.1, but my media was only 8.1 victory! Worthless, unless you have a fully functional key!

• "Blocked product key" message after factory reset system

  Since I updated to Windows 8.1, I had random BSOD errors. They were different from the errors and what they had in common was the NT kernel, which meant that I had to do a complete restore of the system. I have put this for awhile because it happened only once at startup, then the system is stable. Today I finally had the time to do and I was prepared for some annoying problems but not like that.

  At first, I did a system reset which now seems very useless for me because it only retains the Windows settings and more like reinstalling Windows to do a full format. Unfortunately it gave me this error message. I searched online and some suggestions made to make a complete and all factory restore, knowing that it would solve nothing I moved and you did. Suffice to say it didn't work as I knew that he would not but I thought I'd better get all "did you do X procedure?" before asking for help to avoid delays in starting this sorted correctly.

  Now I'm sitting here typing this out with the error message always insisting on the fact that my product key is invalid / blocked and as it took me a while to back up my files I will have to wait until tomorrow to contact HP support. Someone at - he found a complete solution to this or discovered why their key is blocked after a reinstall? If it is a new anti-piracy measure that went wrong so I'll be even more upset than I already am.

  To add to the trouble I have specifically excluded to install Norton yet found sitting here on my laptop at the first start. I also had a problem with WiFi really stupid where he would not stay connected for more than a half second up until I connected via LAN and updated the driver. Excellent software! What happens if I had no network cable? Why did the pilot WiFi broken out of the box?

  A few additional bits of information. The laptop is under warranty. I only got it in August and it has no DVD drive, so I had to rely on HP Recovery Manager to use the recovery partition.

  Apology. I forgot this post! Yes, I solved the problem, but it was not easy nor quick. The tl; Dr version is that HP has allowed me to buy a new key of Windows and then they sent me a check to cover the cost. If you are interested in a longer version, then read on. I would also add that my laptop was still under warranty at the time where it all happened.

  For some reason the laptop BIOS (where is stored the factory key) any had lost Setup sort key. I guess that happened during a many updates of BIOS HP sent but that makes no difference. What happened then is that I had to send screenshots of the error message Windows gave me to HP showing what Windows told me (that the key was not valid etc) and wait for HP to decide on a course of action.

  Many of these e-mails took days to get a response which was pretty frustrating given that Windows would remember every 3 hours that I didn't have a valid key. The end result is that count give enough evidence HP leave of me to go out and buy a new Windows key, and then send by e-mail a copy of the invoice for a refund. Given the slow HP had to get to this point, that is so not surprising it took them more than a month to send me money to cover what I paid. This figure includes two weeks after I did what they asked and nothing happened, but after the ring, I was told that he had not crossed for "any reason" that lead to another delay of two weeks before I finally got the payment.

  I realize that the question itself was not a typical scenario and I am happy with the end result but the time it took to get there (problem started a few days before the new year of 2014 and was resolved around March 2014) was ridiculous and seriously made me hesitant to go close to HP in the future.

• Factory reset loading failed Windows 7

  I have tried factory reset my netbook, but I get a window saying "Windows must reset" I have reset it. Then he goes back to the implementation of services of another window pops up saying "Windows encounter a problem" whenever I turn on my netbook. I need help

  I'm sorry. If you can not complete erecovery via the Alt + F10 boot process, you have two options. The first and far the easiest if your time is worth anything whatsoever, is to buy a recovery stick Acer here http://store.acer.com/store/aceramer/en_US/eRecovery I'm not sure of the cost, but should not be too.

  The second is free, but a lot of time. You can download and change a Win7 32-bit image that can be put on a bootstick using the Microsoft USB - DVD tool - but the process is a bit complicated for Windows iso starter as you'll see here http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_install/where-can-i-download-the-... In addition, you will probably need to download Acer drivers specific to the d257 to make it work properly again. And finally, Microsoft must activate the operating system via the serial numbers on the bottom of the netbook - not hard to do, but an additional complication, however.

  Sorry the process erecovery outside of Windows doesn't seem to work for you.

• HP G70-111EM - Windows Vista 32-bit (Trying to set at the factory and keep getting error 1002)

  Dear HP support and users,

  Model: HP G70-111EM

  I've had this laptop since December 26, 2008.  Last week something was wrong on the laptop, I think managed to install the Vista program 2011 Anti Spyware of viruses on the laptop by mistake and I was not able to remove it with anti-spyware or anti-malware.  So decided to return the computer as long as factory setting by using the HP RESTORE DVD that I created in the past of the laptop.

  Then inserted the DVD and the beginning of the process until I got error 1002.  Now I can't do anything.  The hard drive seems to have been formatted so all the information was deleted, but I start the process of reinstalling VISTA.

  I am really lost do - what I need to do to solve this problem.  I have a laptop £450.00, which has an operating system that is hidden in a partition, but how can I reinstall it when the DVD of RESTORATION HP continues giving error 1002.

  

  Thank you all for your support but no luck.  I decided to buy windows 7 32 bit and install on the laptop.  I had some problem with wifi work only not with Windows 7 32 bit.  But guys on the forum helped me with that.

  So no more Windows Vista for me.

  Thanks to all and no thank you HP, as it cost me £150 for the copy of Windows 7.

• How to restore the computer to factory settings?

  I want to restore my computer back factory settings im tp do not know how to do that please inform me on what I do you solved the problem

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
