Factory restore / Boot Order RAID 0 array?

• Factory restore

  I recently inherited a MacBook Pro. It runs on Mac OS X Version 10.6.4 Intel Core 17. In my view, that it was made in 2010.

  It will not update the operating system. Otherwise, it works great. I was told to hold the r/control/power button will restore the system, but it did not work. I believe that the factory restore will solve the problem of update, but I don't know how to do this.

  Before purchasing a used computer, you must have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.

  The first thing to do after the acquisition of the computer is to wipe the internal drive and install a new copy of Mac OS X. You - not the original owner, must do. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this very complex seemingly simple task.

  How would you do it depends on the model, and if you already have another Mac. If you are not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then, find the model on this page to see which version of the OS was initially installed.

  It is dangerous and may be illegal to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.

  1. If you do not have another Mac

  a. If the machine comes with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a Snow Leopard install disc (OS X 10.6) retail boxed and "Shrink Wrap" on the Apple Store or a reputable dealer - no eBay or something of the sort. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you need to add in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory can take, according to the technical specifications.

  (b) if the machine comes with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that accompanies it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media of the original owner, but if you do not, order replacements from Apple. A disc at retail, or the gray discs of another model, will not work.

  To start from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, and then restart the computer and hold the C key to start ringing. Release the button when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.

  c. If the machine comes with OS X 10.7 or later version, you don't need media. It should start in the mode of Recovery of the Internet when you hold down the key combination option-command-R to start ringing. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe. Note that Mac Pro models turn over end of 2014 (with the box of "cheese grater") cannot use Internet recovery, regardless of what version of OS they shipped with. The Mac Pro round (2014 or later) can use it.

  d. some models 2010-2011 comes with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, allowing them to use Internet recovery. If you have one of these models, you cannot reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and recovery of the Internet won't work either without Apple ID of the original owner, in this case, contact Apple technical supportor take the machine to an Apple Retail Store or other authorized service provider to have an operating system installed.

  2. If you do not have another Mac

  If you already have another Mac which has been upgraded in the App Store to the version of Mac OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use the recovery disk wizard to prepare a USB device, and then starts the new Mac of it by pressing the C key to start ringing. Alternatively, if you have a backup of OS X Time Machine 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a time Capsule or other network device), you can start by holding down the option key and clicking in the row of icons that is displayed. Note that if your other Mac has never updated in the App Store, you can not use this method.

  3 partition and install OS X

  a: If you see a lock screen trying to boot from the support installation or recovery mode, then a firmware password has been defined by the previous owner, or the machine was locked remotely via iCloud. You will need to either contact the owner or by the machine to an Apple Retail Store or other provider of service to be unlocked. May asked you proof of ownership.

  b. launch disk utility, and then select the internal drive icon - no volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a partition table GUID with the volume of data in Mac OS extended (journaled) format. This permanently deletes all existing data on the disk.

  c. an unusual problem can occur if all the following conditions apply:

  OS X 10.7 or later version has been installed by the previous owner

  The boot volume has been encrypted with FileVault

  You start in recovery mode (that is, not of a 10.6 disk installation)

  In this case, you will not be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for advice or see this discussion of the CSA.

  d. after partitioning, quit disk utility and run the OS X Installer. If you install a version of OS X was acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password you used. When the installation is complete, the system reboots automatically in the Migration Wizard, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have all the data to be transferred, it is usually the best time to do it.

  e. run the software update and install all available Apple system updates. To upgrade to a major version of Mac OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can not keep an improved version that was installed by the first owner. He or she cannot legally transfer to you, and without the Apple ID, you will be able to update in a software update or reinstall, if it becomes necessary. Is the same for all App Store products that the previous owner installed, you will need to buy.

  4. other issues

  a. If the original owner "accepted" bundled iLife (iPhoto, iMovie and Garage Band) applications in the App Store so that he or she could put up-to-date, IRREVOCABLY linked to that Apple ID and you can download them without having to buy them. Reportedly, the Mac App Store Customer Service sometimes issued codes of reimbursement for these applications to second owners who asked.

  (b) if the previous owner has not Deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you will not be able to authorize immediately under your username. In this case, you will have either to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.

  c. When you try to create a new iCloud account, you could get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a limit of life of three configurations by device iCloud account. Erasure of the unit does not reset the limit. You can always use iCloud account that was created on another device, but you will not be able to create a new. Contact iCloud Support for more information. Configuration limit does not apply to the Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as iTunes and Mac App Store or iMessage. You can create as many accounts you want.

• Problems with the 64-bit on Pavilion a6620f Vista Factory restore

  I had a hard drive failure and restoration on a new hard drive. The original HD is a 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 model ST 3500620AS. The new HD is a 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 model ST 3500641AS - RK. I bought a set of restore for this HP computer disks.

  First problem was that disk 1 does not start from the internal CD/DVD drive. My Seagate drive boots fine on the same drive! I used an external USB CD/DVD drive and restore disks worked well on that. I went through the process of factory restore and in the end, I get an error message "installing Windows could not configure Windows to run on this computer hardware." I tried to change the BIOS setting from ACHI and IDE to SATA RAID with no luck. I tried to unplug the USB CD drive before the first reboot. That no longer works.  I unplugged the internal CD drive and tried different combinations with no luck. Need help I have run out of things to try! Does anyone have any ideas/thoughts?

  Hello:

  I don't know how you can get your recovery discs to work.

  Looks like you have tried everything.

  I had problems with mine too and got the same error on a HP Elite 8200 desktop computer business

  It was the first time I've ever had a problem with recovery disks.  It's very frustrating.

  I have a workaround if all goes well, you can use to get Vista on your PC...

  If you can read your 25-character product key MS, you can make your own Windows Vista installation disc. You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

  It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

  I tested both of them (just before going forward with the actual facility) and they seem to work perfectly.

  Apparently, when you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-VI...

  After you have successfully installed vista, you can download the drivers you need your PC support and driver page.

• How do Factory Restore knows what disk to restore?

  If someone has two or more hard drives in their computers and they are ready to do a restore factory, how does he know which drive to restore?  I fear that he will restore is in the wrong drive, or if it installs in your drive, it will delete all partitions on the second disk.

  I have to disconnect all the drives except that Windows must be restored on?

  Hello

  The restoration is expected to find the drive that is plugged. However, if the player is not connected to port 1 (lun 0) then you may need to change the boot order in the bios to account for this device as being the boot device when you connect another hard drive to port 0 then this hard drive is the boot hard drive.

  Make it easy to ensure that the boot hard drive is plugged into port 1 (lun 0) and the bios boot order is on this hard drive.

• Degraded RAID 1 array: PowerEdge 2800

  Hello to everyone. I hope someone can shed some light on this unusual situation.

  I have a PowerEdge 2800, which must be replaced before May this year, this is a great server and done an excellent job over the past 7 years.

  OK for the problem; The server administrator has been a failure on 0:0

  In the server, we have:

  0: Maxtor 36 GB 15 k 0 0:1 Fujitsu 73 GB 15 k something 1:2... 1:3 something...

  So, I jumped 0:0 and the server worked great with a range of gradations, and 15 seconds I inserted back to the PE2800. After about 45 minutes the RAID 1 array has been rebuilt, but it still says expected failure. So I thought that better order some new readers - I received today; 2 x 146 GB 15 k Seagate Cheetah.

  OK, so I jumped 0:0 drive and inserted one of the 146 GB Cheetah and the server crashed - wouldn't boot at all and gave me an error stating that the logical drive failed.

  Thus, in the PERC4i BIOS, I forced drive 0:1 online and the server is now back operational but with a range of gradations.

  So that's where I am, what choice do I have?

  Insert the old disk with a predicted failure, leave it alone or try the 146 GB Cheetah. I don't really want to do an any of them, but I will order another 73 GB Fujitsu in the meantime.

  I want to know is why the server crash after having inserted the cheetah disc? I traded to many-a-time pluggable hard drives in the past in several dell breaks and never experienced anything like this.

  Degraded running, any response would be massively appreciated.

  Thank you very much.

  "So, I'm now to square, where I have a RAID1 system with a disk failure planned.  What would you do from here on? »

  Another thing that many people do not know is with a disk of pf, should it be forced offline before replacing, if not the FP flag can be assigned to the new drive (until a real "rescan" is performed) and can result in strange behavior (the controller is more sensitive to potential readers of pf failure).

  "Common sense says I can't mix-match 10 k / 15 k TPM!

  You CAN / layout speeds and/or sizes (there's nothing wrong with him "technically"), but in real-world scenarios, you would ever want to mix speeds (depending on the configuration, it degrade the speed of the whole picture).  One thing you can't do is mix U320 SCSI U160 readers on a bottom of basket/controller.

  "What would you do from here on?

  I guess from here depends on what you feel more comfortable making.  There is a chance that the pf reader works fine until you are finished with the server (or until you can get another replacement - if you feel another replacement would be better than those you currently have), even if it might cause additional problems if his condition deteriorates.  There is a chance it could happen again if you try to replace it, but I think it's unlikely to happen.  If it was me (and it is important to remember that this isn't :)), I force disk 0 offline and replace "hot" by the other 146 GB drive.  Another thing you could do, who feel probably less risky, is simply to insert the disc of 146 GB in an open slot, assign as a relief, then force offline disk 0, which results in a regeneration start automatically with disk 0.

• Edge 14 "questions making factory restore from Windows 8 consumer overview

  My edge initially provided with Windows 7, and I created a USB drive recovery using the tool supplied with the laptop. Last year, I put Windows 8 preview of consumers about it. Now, Windows 8 license has expired and I don't want to upgrade to the professional version. So I tried to do a factory restore. I tried:

  1. start > enter > I can't see F11 here, there're only ESC, F1 and F12 to choose.

  2. plug USB Recovery > start > enter > F12 > I see my USB in the list > select and enter > system continue to start with Win 8.

  3. Similarly, choose F1 to enter BIOS, put my USB on the top of the boot order list > save and restart with connected USB > system continue to start with Win 8.

  The content of my usb looks like: usb.tag / winRE.wim / Boot folder (283.9 M in total). It's called imation, 1 G.

  I wonder what I can try to take the step of recovery plant. Any help will be great!

  I solved this problem by creating the boot on CD instead. Then start successfully from the CD instead of USB.

  the only problem is that I got an error "you can have only one copy of the Microsoft Windows operating system." The product Recovery Media Creator will leave now. "because I previously created the recovery on a USB key. Follow this post to continue:

• On Satellite A105 - S2131 factory restore

  I have a series of Toshiba Satellite A105 - S2131. I'm in the need to do a factory restore, but I don't have a restore disc, because I never saw when I got the computer, and when I tried to create a floppy disk to the computer that it does, I get an error that says in cannot find the file to create the disc. Now I don't know what I can do to make the factory restore.

  Any help would be great.

  Thank you

  Hello

  For me, there is a clear situation you need to order the new recovery media by the nearest authorized service provider.
  But you have another way to get own laptop preinstalled, use CD original Microsoft facilities. All the drivers, tools and utilities, you can find and download from Toshiba support site.

• K1 "unrecoverable error bootloader (0 x 19000008) after the factory restore".

  Having some problems with my K1 for a while & finally decided to do a factory restore and start over. Fact the factory restore (exactly like I had to with my android phone a couple of weeks) & now he jumped to the top with

  «Erase Userdata...»

  Boot loader fatal error (0 x 19000008)

  He sat there for a while. I tried to hold the power button, but nothing. This tablet has been updated to the latest version, it has not rooted or anything else. Just completely factory & updated. The problems I had when I decided to restore it was running mostly just super slow. Took forever to get the apps to arrive on the screen & such things. Thought I just having too much junk previously installed on it, so I tried to restore it & start over. Bad idea! Any idea? My 2 weeks im slammed all day every day & cant slow to call assistance & wait always hold to try & fix it (assuming that they can even repair). Would be delighted to hear that its an easy fix but I'm sure used to be the case. I bought it back in November 2011, so its only 6 months old.

  Hi Javahead

  How many times have you tried to restart since this error?

  Recently, I did the same thing after that my front cam went wrong. I got the same error. But after a few reboots and maybe wait a few minutes before trying again. Finally, he went through the process and completed successfully.

• Cannot perform the factory restore, ThinkPad T530 with Windows 8

  I just plug a new ThinkPad T530 with 64-bit Windows 8. I was playing around with it a bit, the installation of applications different but then decided to do a factory reset in order to get a clean machine again. I entered the recovery (F11 at startup) and utility of Windows 8 was launched recovery utility and I chose the "Reset Your PC". When the action has started the application asked me for the installation media THAT has NOT been PROVIED by lenovo. After I went back to Windows 8 and tried to make a rescue and the recovery disk using the Windows 8 feature, but again I got the same message asking me to insert the diskettes to install for Windows 8. I see that my machine has 2 recovery Partitions, so my question is WHY don't I RESTORE MY PC to FACTORY SETTING with the HELP of THE PARTITIONS on the DISK?

  Guys, I think I found a solution for this problem (no reservoir of lenovo). Here goes:
  Run diskpart (Win + R key)-> write DISKPART.
  A command-line interface will appear.
  Volume of writing list (lists the partitions on your disk)
  Look for the partition that is marked as Lenovo_Recovery (in my case was Volume 3, size of 10 GB)
  Select which-> the partition using the command select volume 3 (as in my case was volume 3)
  Display the partition using the command-> assign letter g (or whatever letter you have available)
  Take any collection action you like. I tried the "Create recovery disk' and 'Refresh PC', in both cases before this fix I received a message where I was asked for the installation DVD, but this case operations past.
  Final-> hide the partition using the command, delete the letter g. This will not disable the functionality of recovery but will hide you partition which is a good thing, so you don't mess anything.

  If wipe you your drive hard back to the sources and everything you had on your screen at the start was that recycle bin doesn't not look well.

  If it start as normal-

  Start-search-photos-files-the file name?

  or try a free file Finder like

  Recuva

  http://www.Piriform.com/Recuva

  There are other free download...

  professionals pay a lot of money online progs that recover lost data, or tech stores.

• HP 2350eo p6: I can't understand how successfully do a factory restore on my win 8-> computer 8.1

  I tried to do a factory restore, and it just doesn't work. I can't start to the top of the recovery screen.
  I tried restarting and pressing F11. Because Windows is not normally start, he's clearly trying to do what I want it to, but it does not work. I tried once to leave it for an hour and everything I've seen on a black screen. I also tried to boot via the Recovery Manager. I tried to create a USB stick recovery. First of all, I created the USB through recovery manager. Then I rebooted and held of the ESC. Then, I started the USB key. Nothing happened.

  When I turned off the computer and started it again, as long as I don't push any button, windows would start as normal, up to this point.

  Given that HP tools could not solve the problem, I tried to restore through the windows, the standard method, I suppose, by selecting Properties on the right sidebar. Computer properties, then update/restore, restore, remove and install windows. When I tried, the computer restarted and I got a black screen again, but now, I can not even start Windows more. He answers when I press ESC while booting, but I can not to initiate anything.

  I just wanted to make a simple factory restore and now my computer is dead. Where should I go from here?

  My computer is a HP Pavilion 2350eo with Windows 8.1 p6, it was packed with 8 victory, but a few months after asking me about upgrading a few times, somehow forced the update windows update. My hard drive is almost full at the time, so I don't know if my problem is related to a bad 8.1 Win install. It seems very pulled by the hair.

  I was able to understand.

  I pressed ESC while booting. So, rather than starting the real usb, I chose run Application Uefi, and then I was able to browse the actual usb (which I did before) and select an individual file to run. I do not know which file I got, but I was able to run one of the files, that triggered the factory reset.

  So my problem seems similar to when you enter a CD in windows, and it's not autorun.

• How to: perform a Vista Factory restore

  Original title: need to do a factory restore Vista but don't know how, I know how to do a system restore, but our computer has been hacked and want to return to the basics on this subject.

  Need to do a factory restore Vista but don't know how, cos our computer has been hacked. I know how to do a system restore, but not a factory one. I need to put the computer back to the sources.

  Hello

  Here are the different ways to reinstall vista

  Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed
