• How long to restore pc to factory settings?

  I have a pc compaq presario cq5320f dual processor. I got a virus received discs to restore the factory settings. I tried last night CD everything worked well but he always took to install new software (13 hours) hp will not help as they say its out of warranty... Got up today... Was not finished yet as advised to me so I started again... It was about 2-3 hours now... Anyone know if this is normal... ? A guy that I talked about at HP said it can sometimes take a long time... He said a guy it took FORTY-EIGHT hours to install (does not work after that) any feedback is greatly appreciated.

  Hello denicemd: 1st of all why not try this:

  1. remove all the parts of your computer except keyboard & mouse

  2. with your recovery media in your optical drive press the "F8" key to install all via "safe mode".

  3. If she asks you can choose the administrator who pick rather than your own name to follow what you see on your screen

  Sometimes, that's what a pc should be normal

  4. run chkdisk or scandisk with all the options checked to eliminate problems of HD

  5. while still in safe mode, download an antivirus & antispyware apps at least

  6. when linking your stuff

  After that unless you need a new HD I would be very surprised if you didn't have a full recovery!

  Good luck

  hope this helps

• How can I restore my factory settings.i deleted my recovery files

  "How can I restore my laptop compaq presario cq57 windows computer factory settings 7", I deleted my recovery files.

  Hello

  If you have deleted the recovery Partition, you will not be able to create your own set of recovery disks, then you will need to order a replacement, set as described in my previous post.

  If you use these replacement disks to reinstall the operating system, they will also recreate the hard disk recovery Partition - this will allow to use the 'method f11' reinstall Windows if you wish.

  Kind regards

• How can I restore to factory without a disc?

  Hey... I don't think I have that much to say to be honest.

  My laptop is just terrible, and I want to restore it to factory settings.

  However, when we received our laptop (who was not with the purchase, but to win a prize) it has not come with a CD. So I can not restore its factory settings.

  Now my problem is that, unlike other products from Dell, the Latitude series does not come with a choice of restore laptop to factory settings is when you press F8 for advanced startup options. So, I have no possible way to restore it to its default value.

  Is there a way I could do? Possible a code of command prompt? I'm not sure. Please help me. My laptop broke down right and it does not work for me any time soon.

  Thank you.             Christian
