How do I have a packard bell istart 2380 factory reset?

My computer is incredibly slow and I just want this thing factory reset, I tried looking for countless hours to find how do and found nothing, please for the love of all that is pure can someone please tell me how to do?

Hello

You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

They should do this for a small fee.

To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  • Packard Bell Easynote laptop computer CD Rom problem in Vista

    I have a Packard Bell Easynote laptop computer and the CD rom does not recognize my DVD - RW drive, it recognizes and plays all other formats, any ideas how to solve this problem?

    Russ

    Hello

    Close all programs and then put in a DVD - RW blank = what happens?

    You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
    Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
    correctly.

    Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

    CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and may your reading/reading on the edge outside these discs
    tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

    Hello

    When you install another operating system, either through reinstalling which was initially installed or to install another operating system, you must ensure that latest Packard Bell for your model laptop hardware drivers are installed and / or are available.

    You don't say what was initially installed in the computer or if you checked to see if Packard Bell supported install Windows 7 on your laptop model.

    Here are the links to see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your laptop:

  • Packard Bell m/c will now fire up to the "home page" - MS system is Windows XP

    Windows xp now will not pull upward on the old Packard Bell computer, then the screen falls in "sleep" mode I have the original Windows XP disks, but does not help. Can I make a record of 'boot' via the net using my second computer?

    Here are the instructions to burn a cd for the disk to boot Hiren that you can then run checkdisk, a memory test and other tools

    Courtesy of Jose Ibarra

    Do you have a Hiren Boot CD, which you can download here:

    http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/

    The ZIP file is large, so the download will take probably a little while to complete the bit it is worth.  Then unzip the download to extract the Hirens.BootCD.ISO file that will be used to create your new bootable CD.

    Create a bootable CD. ISO file is not the same as simply copying the. File ISO onto a blank CD.  You must use software that includes how to burn a. ISO to a CD to create a bootable CD.

    In the file Hiren ZIP are the file BurnToCD.cmd that you can double-click to start, but I've never used and prefer to use ImgBurn.

    If you need a simple and CD burning, this is a free software popular software:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install anything from UniBlue or the Ask Toolbar (never install the ASK toolbar for nothing).

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your new bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.

    These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When starting on the Hiren's CD, you will see a menu of options.  Choose Mini XP.  It will appear while Windows is loading and you will be presented with a desktop computer that has the look and feel of the interface of Windows Explorer, you are already accustomed to using.

    A way to check the drive for errors is to open my computer and right-click on your afflicted player and choose Properties, tools, error, check checking now... put a check mark in the boxes and then start.

    Sometimes that works, then you can also click on start, run and in the type box:

    cmd

    Click OK to open a command prompt window and enter the following command (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive)

    CHKDSK c: /r

    This disk check can last a long time (perhaps several to several hours) depending on the size of the volume, the amount of data on the volume and what the disk check finds to do.

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    According to the speed of your system, the size of the volume, the amount of data on the volume and what chkdsk finds to do, he may take a long time for chkdsk with error correction to complete (several hours) or it may seem to be 'stuck '.  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something to not interrupt him.  It finally end one way or the other.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You may need to run Chkdsk c:/r more than once.

    You plan to upgrade to Vista or Windows 7.

    If the answer is Vista, and then you perform an upgrade on the spot, that will keep all your applications and data intack. Note the bare minimum of RAM/memory you need for Vista is 2 GB and it runs slower than XP.

    If the answer is Windows 7, then your only choice is a "custom" / Clean install which means that you must back up all your data file (on external support) and then once the upgrade is complete and then install applications. ". Memory required for Windows 7 are 1 GB for 32-Bit OS or 2 GB for the 64-bit operating system.
