  Restore to factory state out of the box. Can I install all updates from Microsoft using Windows update or can I install antivirus first before to connect to internet?

  Currently Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 x 86 (no patches since 2008). Currently, it has no AV and has not been connected to the internet yet. It will be behind a router.

  I had to redo the factory already reset after be connected to the net for 20 minutes and then a bunch of programs kept crashing saying Data Execution Prevention had to close the program StackHash and BEX error when executing update for HP drivers.

  Maybe I installed Kaspersky first next time?

  What should I do?

  Thank you!

  No problem. Install the updates. You can install the anti-virus later.

  Just don't start browsing the inet by updating.

• 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.

• Cannot restore to factory settings - Pavilion a1767c Media Center

  My computer has a "C++ Runtime error' when trying to restore to factory settings with"restore disks. What would cause this?

  Details:

  My system works with Vista. It's an older model but I had no problems with it until it started to freeze at startup and when using Vista (BIOS outdated?). I got the HARD drive tested and it seems to be operational. "However, when I try to use my restore disks from" he published a "Miscrosoft C++ Runtime Error' after that selection of the restore process - close this window of error leads to restore failed.

  The HARD drive has been formatted before restoring, I don't remember. Could this have damaged the recovery section, as everything I have in the recovery partition is an empty folder of recovery and a pcdr.ini file? Please notify.

  WMC, welcome to the forum.

  Here's a guide to help in the recovery process.  There is a video, too.

  It could be a failure of the power supply unit (PSU) the origin of freezing problems.  Here is a guide to help you solve the problem.  The power supply can cause problems that seem not to be related.  It may be related to the problem of recovery you encounter, as well.

• Cannot restore to factory of the Satellite L350

  Hello

  I was having problems with Vista so a friend recommended that I tried ubuntu.

  But now I want to go back to vista, but I can't get my laptop to run restore.
  I tried now pressed 0 while turn also by pressing f8 but it always starts just as usual.

  The Toshiba recovery disc creator isn't on my computer either. I do not have the disks of Vista, but if I remember correctly that my laptop never came with them, I am really stuck on what to do.

  Satellite L350

  Hey,.

  I'm a little confused about your ad Mr. you wrote that you tried Ubuntu but you have installed Ubuntu and Vista deleted or was it just a live Ubuntu disc?

  The Toshiba HDD Recovery feature is described here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

  But something more: the HDD recovery works only with the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba, so if you have installed another OS or an upgrade, this option doesn't work anymore.

  And you're right: the laptop doesn t come with Toshiba Recovery disk because you must create this disk you use Toshiba recovery media creator which is preinstalled. This tool will create a boot disk with a picture of settings which can be restored each time unlike HARD drive recovery which works only with the original installed OS.

  To cut a long story short, just ordered a Toshiba Recovery disk and install it. Then you have the back factory settings :)

• A720 cannot restore to factory setting

  I can't restore my A720 back to factory setting. The error indicates the partition has changed.

  What I did that he messed up:

  1. I have partitioned the C drive into 2 partitions so that I can install Windows 8 on one of them.

  2. everything went well. So I decided to remove WIndows 8.

  3. I deleted the partition Windows 8 and he added to the C partition.

  4. I had trouble getting my calibrated colors (this problem was present from the first time that I turned on the system. No the above procedure).

  5. I chose the OneKey restore announcement that it restarts.

  6. when I hit the F2 key, it has a display to dual boot, but only of Windows 7 has been in the list.

  7. I had already made a series of Recovery DVD, so I inserted the DVD #1 and restarted.

  8. I press a key when prompted and restore screen came.

  9. I hit him food and and it appeared to work until the error dialog window appears saying that the size of the partition was incorrect.

  Help! Thanks in advance.

  Bloo,

  I finally got the correct disks. I was sent a total of 5 sets of CD. All were for the A700 except the last game.

  I had pretty well given the fact that I was going to send the unit to the factory to restore. They actually sent me a box to ship it in. Fortunately, before I packed it upward, I got quite unexpected package. Voila! It was the right set of discs and now my system runs like a champ.

  Thanks for your help on this Bloo.

• I had to do a system restore on my PC, which reformats the hard drive and he returned to factory State, and I lost all of my emails from OE and contacts. No way to get them back?

  My computer crashed and the system recovery was the only option.  I know this reformats the hard drive and actually returned the PC to factory State, but I cannot now access all of my old emails and contacts on OE.  I managed to configure OE once again, so I can receive messages via my site, but really need to come back to the 'old'.  Any help would be greatly appreciated

  Two points:

  Suggestions 1. see Bruce Hagen, but it is highly unlikely that you can get everything back. When you perform a system recovery, you lose everything that was on the disc.

  2. it is late to tell you this, but like you apparenly had no backup on external media, you're playing with fire. For the future, you can read this article I wrote: "how to return your computer regularly upward and reliable" to http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=314

• EliteBook 8530w: cannot restore factory my 8530w

  Hello, I have an Elitebook 8530w. I'm in the process of factory reset it to a new user. I have encountered some problems try cela and would like to help. I would finally get windows 10 offered to, but the system struggled to settle after downloading, im guessing it was because of the upgrade to windows 7 and some files missing now for the current operating system.  It's what I know and have tried so far:

  native system with windows vista, but currently runs windows 7 Professional

  system installation disc came with the elitebook

  It seems through the upgrade 'recovery manager' and recovery partition drives have all been removed.

  HP said there is no "install windows vista disk" that they can send to factory reset.

  I tried the system of operating system recovery and there is no recovery Manager, only system restore. The system restore option allows me to restore up to a point, that are in the last few weeks, no option to factory settings. the other option, it gives me is to restore the system to the default settings, but requires a system installation disk. My professional XP disk does not appear to be an acceptable installation disc. no luck using the operating system to restore the factory settings.

  F11 at startup does nothing

  depressing repeated F10 when you start to take me to the BIOS menu, you can also get to this menu by pressing the ESC key at startup and then pressing F10 for bios menu.

  Legacy USB support is enabled in the BIOS

  and the CD-ROM drive is in the boot priority options, however his 4th on the list, I doubt that moving in priority would fix the issue, but I'm not sure.  ID be more than happy to answer any other question that would help me to overcome this problem. Mainly due to the update for win 7 pro, HP cant help seems because of the upgrade to win 7 Pro.

  I called HP and followed several manuals on how to restore the settings to factory with no progress

  Any help would be appreciated, thanks a lot from the start!

  With a model of laptop as far from the current generation than yours, it resets the factory default without the recovery partition or the set of recovery disks won't be possible.

  HP EliteBook were shipped with a HP Recovery Media Creator who allowed the owner to create a copy of the recovery media.

  F11 won't work without a recovery partition which has not been amended.

  You can buy a recovery disk of the HP partner according to the value.

  I turned on the computer and press F8 to bring up the Advanced Start and you press on enter repair my computer and screen rises windows load files.

  He has been slain on this screen for about an hour now and did not move to the next step.

  There is no mechanism to have direct influence on the HARD drive installation procedure.

  Try again. You may be lucky and recovery installation will start correctly.

• Laptop computer shows BOOTMGR missing after running system back to factory State

  I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment notebook model #dv7 cl 3163. First of all, I must say that I am a beginner user. My problem started with a low battery problem. Then, using recovery mgr. I first ran to the top of disks and then tried system restore. During which it stops. When I tried to restart it initially said something about starting like new from the factory. Then it said could not load the windows program. I contacted hp and tech had me buy a phone holder 1 year plan. Had me then go th the Recovery Manager and select restore to the original image. During which he gave this message. Recovery Manager cannot restore computer using the fzctory image. Please contact HP support. 0xe0ef0003 error code. He said that meant, that I need a new hard drive. Now when I turn it on it says BOOTMGR missing. Use ctrl del apt at the beginning but who doesn't. It doesn't do anything. The technology would be good? Is there a way I can check my drive first? Or another way to tell? It was not the original problem so I am not confident in its determination. Should I be?

  Immediately after turning the power on, press the ESC key. This should bring up a menu which F2 is what you choose. Use Diagnostics to test your hard drive.
