• Factory Reset my laptop HP Compaq 6730 b

  I want to factory reset my hp compaq 6730 laptop b I do not have the recovery disk. I tried the restore point but only brings me in June of this year, but I want to factory resets this laptop if someone is able to walk me thru it I appreciate the help.

  You are the very welcome.

  You can use the recovery of a DVD on the 3.

  You may be able to run W10 on them.

  After installing all updates of W7 (SP1 and others), if your PC can run W10, you should get a booking W10 icon.

  See this link for more information.

  My HP elitebook 6930p who basically has the same hardware as you ran W8.1 very well.

  He also ran the first 2 preview W10 relies very well.

  All versions since that time, the ricoh cardbus controller then gives an error code 12 (resources).

  I reported this bug to MS and I noticed there were other models HP affected as the 8440p.

  So, unless this bug is corrected and that your machine has the same Ricoh card reader mine, you can probably count on getting the same error.

• Factory reset on laptop Windows 8.

  My laptop is an Acer V3-571 with windows 8, it would not download Windows updates so I decided to do a factory reset via Acer Recovery Management.I started 3 hours ago and it is only 38%. Is it normal to take as long as that?

  I'll assume that the "complete wipe of the drive" took several hours at the end, but the process of recovery completed successfully?

• Factory reset on laptop

  I want to reset my laptop to factory settings, but first of all, I want to know how not to remove my Microsoft Office license, because I used the last of them, and I'd rather not buy more. And also how to create a kind of discs of recovery or system recovery for all my photos, music and documents, with out having a CD player that works (reads all discs and wants to format them?) and that I could also use to share these files when we have a new computer in the next 3 months.

  I have an Acer Aspire 5315 with Vista

  Please let me know if you need more info to answer my questions.

  Hi kfox79,

  1. What is the problem with the CD drive on the computer?

  2. you receive an error message when you insert the disc?

  Do a factory reset, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer for more information that this can be done using the partition recovery or recovery disk.

  Windows complete PC Backup creates abackup image, which contains copies of your programs, files and system settings. The backup image is then stored in a separate location from the original programs, settings, and files. You can use this backup image to restore the contents of your computer if your hard disk or an entire computer ever stops working. You must create a new Windows complete PC backup image every six months.

  Back up your programs, files and system settings

• Factory reset for Windows 7 will restore my BIOS too to its original state when I bought it?

  I now use Windows 8, I bought my laptop in JULY 2012. It came with Windows Home Premium and I have the recovery disc for Windows 7. I intend to factory reset my laptop because of my disappointment with Windows 8 and supprt for Windows 8.

  I want to know if the "factory Reset" will restore the BIOS of the laptop in its original state. I mean I have my BIOS set to update to the latest. I want to return to its former State. How long is the factory reset also takes? I own edition HP DV6T Quad 7000 with 32 GB WSSD.

  Intel RST does not have anything, my HARD drive is shown in non-RAID and there is no way I can change it to RAID. My last option is to try the Factory Reset and see if it helps. I'm sure that TSRI will work if my BIOS is restored to the original condition with everything so it starts to detect my HDD in RAID.

  Hello

  A factory image recovery will not affect the version of BIOS or current settings. The duration during which the factory image recovery takes wil depend on what type of recovery media that you have. If you have a usb recovery media that it will probably wait maybe thiry minutes. Use you a recovery value disk while recovery might take a few hours to complete.

  Once you start the recovery not to touch the keyboard.

  Make sure that the wireless is turned on before commit you to the recovery.

  Best regards

• Have I not correct recovery DVD for a factory reset?

  Hello

  My laptop is a ProBook s 4540

  When I bought it, it came with 4 DVDs:

  • Application and Driver Recovery DVD (windows 7)
  • Operating system DVD Windows 7 Professional SP1
  • Application and Driver Recovery DVD (windows 8)
  • Operating system Windows 8 Pro DVD

  At some point I want to Factory Reset my laptop and I wonder if this dvd is to do it since I do not have the recovery with the recovery discs manager.

  Have I not correct recovery DVD for a factory reset?

  Hello

  Even better. Factory reset will bring more information, including the bloatware. Two sets of DVD (for Windows 7 and Windows 8) are the BEST companions. You will get your machine under control and you can download other software also under control.

  We all love having two RST for each operating system.

  Kind regards.

• HP 15.6 laptop "touch screen: laptop stuck in the loop of continuous factory reset

  I brought a laptop that has been the view at Sam model yesterday.  I tried to do a factory reset, but once he gets to "Windows Setup" it makes a continuous loop.  It will start at 64% go to 100%, then restart.  When it turns on, it is always 'Windows Installer' and goes right to 64% and then 100%, then restart.  I started at 22:45 (28/07/2016) last night and it's always the same.

  What can I do to stop the program?

  Hey @GwenC,

  Please try the steps prescribed by my colleague. The path to resolution would play a HP System Recovery. You can learn more about this process here.

  I hope this helps. Good luck!

• Laptop HP 15-g019WM: factory reset

  Product delivered with Windows 8.1 (not sure if 32 or 64-bit).  Try recovery for a friend who isn't technically able.  Recovery HP to factory using a complete factory resets using all DVD 5, created during the initial setup of the machine.  Have since upgraded to Windows 10, but that the upgrade can be done again after a reset complete.  Am page preparation of Factory Image Recovery and I have the lines of reformatting and copying the files audited.  Progress goes to 12% with 18 minutes from the end and process freezes (several attempts and still freezes 12%). After a long wait, an error message appears indicating that the target drive is not connected.  Tempted to use a DVD player external as suggested in a tech forum, but it did not work as the system cannot read from the external drive. Is there a solution to this problem, which does not require disassembly of the machine to take the external drive as suggested in another tech forum?  Or is it a clean image DVD set which can provide HP that won't cause this problem.

  Hello

  The machine originally shipped with Windows 8.1 64 bit (home).

  If you wish to order a replacement set of media recovery for Windows 8.1, you can make from then on the link below.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/mediaorder/HP-15-G000-notebook-PC-series/6545564/model/6761879/softwareitem/819421-001/STEP1

  Another solution, if you intend to upgrade the laptop for Windows 10 once again, would be just to perform a new installation of 10 - as the machine has been previously upgraded to 10, a hardware profile (digital rights) will have been saved by the activation servers.

  As long as the previous installation of Windows 10 had activated Ok after upgrade from 8.1, you just create your own installation media and perform a new installation as described in the guide on the following link.  Note: On the activation screen, select "I don't have a product key" - Windows will activate automatically once installation is complete.

• HP Pavilion dv4: can I factory reset with an external monitor attached to my laptop?

  I got a laptop HP Pavilion dv4 entertainment PC. It has a cracked screen and I use an external monitor attached. Can I do a factory reset with the attached external monitor? The monitor is an HP w1815 LCD, case ini that matters.

  Thanks for any help on this.

  I would like to add that I can see on both screens only on screen cracked that I can't see the bottom of it due to cracking. As recovery options are visible on the external display, it would be prudent to start the recovery process? I made a few choice, but I am now at the point choose to 'pull the trigger' and click next to start it or hit Cancel.

  Thank you.

  That doesn't look good... a couple hours but goes on five hours is something serious goes wrong. Maybe you should order the HP factory recovery disc and try again. I think that something has gone wrong here.
