How to reset a L520 to factory settings
Hello world
I'm a bit stunned; All ThinkPad, I used previously came with Rescue and Recovery and all about HD to restore its factory settings. My L520 brand new with Windows 7 Professional/64 bit (which happens to do more strong buzz that I can endure, so there need go back) doesn't seem to have this option. Of course I should have first installed rescue and recovery and saved everything?
No documentation that I can find on the laptop or on the web does also appear to cover this.
So: I'm already in a deep * beep *? Is there a hidden option to completely reset the L520 to factory settings (by crushing the BONES with a stored "image factory" to another partition or something?)
Quick help would be great because I have to return the L520 this week...
Thank you!
Karlheinz
Of course... As soon as you are desperate enough to post on the support forum, you find the solution. In the case anyone research this lateron:
- Reset
- During startup, press the blue button of the Thinkvantage
- Select the option select factory
- Do the factory reset
See you soon,.

HOW CAN I RESET MY LAPTOP BACK TO FACTORY SETTINGS
Hello
Judgment of the laptop. Start typing away at f11 as soon as you press the power button to start the Recovery Manager that you can then use to reinstall the operating system.
Alternatively, if you have created a set of recovery disks, insert the first disc and restart the computer to start the process.
Either way is fine.
Kind regards

How can I configure my laptop back to factory settings?
I'm really sick of my 2008 Dell Inspiron being so slow, whenever I play minecraft... It is not intended to be a portable game, but that's all I have. I want to know how to put my computer laptop back to factory settings, like when you start it for the first time, straight out of the box. In addition, I did not drive when I bought over 5 years ago, do not judge me. Help please!
Hello Andy.L.C
No one will judge you.
Your PC must have a hidden partition which contains an image of the Windows operating system.
Take a look at this link (especially step 3 "restore the software from the computer to the original state")
I hope this will help you restore your PC to factory conditions.

Need help with laptop back to factory settings
can someone help me on how to put my laptop back to factory settings
Hello
It would help if you told us your laptop brand and operating system.
This is general information on how to do it:
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 using the 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
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the hard drive Partition reinstall back to how you bought 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.
And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.
Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.
If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.
See you soon.

How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

Super Guide Windows Vista Installation
After installation > go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > get latest Vista drivers for it > download/install them.
Save all data, because it will be lost during a clean installation.

You try to reset the Acer Aspire One mini computer laptop to the factory settings (xp)
I have a mini-netbook Acer Aspire One with Windows XP. There is no CD drive.
I enabled d2d in bios menu, and then click Restart I use the alt + f10 as instructed, Nothing helps - it creates is a horrible beep or mark a break on a mainly black frozen screen and a few small images scrambled to the top.
I bought only the laptop computer 2nd hand and I fear there may be spyware on it - it does not open programs such as Acer eRecovery Management or AVG 8.5. And due to the fact he does not allow me to use google chrome/firefox, but a somewhat obscure version of Internet Explorer.
With these factors, a reset to factory settings is my best result and what id prefer.
