  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

• 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 restore data after a factory restore?

  All my files were deleted completely after performing a factory restore. I selected a rescue disk when running it and even after he finished all of my data has been deleted. All of my records have been removed. I don't have that drive C and all the other readers have disappeared. Is it possible to restore my computer and my data? Please, they are so important. I NEED MY DATA PLEASE WILL RUINED MY LIFE WITHOUT HIM!

  Hi elai_89,

  After formatting the disk and reinstalling windows, it is always possible to recover the lost data/files.  You can take to a local Sony store to see if they can do it for you.  3rd party software (at a cost) and or contact 3rd party suppliers to help (but with a price).  What you can do is to contact DriveSavers for you help that too.

• 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.

• Pavilion all-in-one Q214 23: factory restore on the new HP Pavilion all in one computer

  I have a week 6 old Pavilion Desktop all-in-one.  I wanted to do a factory install on it because I had a lot of extra things that I don't want anymore, I installed and I thought what a factory restore would be better.  I went to the HP Recovery Manager and no where in the choices he said 'factory restore '.  He used to have this option in the HP recovery environment.  I checked all the options and nothing on the factory restore.  I made a set of recovery discs, but I always remember that HP still had the opportunity to do a factory restore.  I have tried F11 and F8 and no luck.

  Answers or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
