  • How to restore Satellite L505D-S5965 to factory settings

    Hello Toshiba community

    I have a model of Satellite L505D-S5965 and apparently, more the sumer, I don't have an anti-virus. All members of my family had used this computer and now it seems to me that he is infected with a large number of viruses. For example, now that I have renewed my McAfee subscription, my computer does not have McAfee. I double click on it and I just get the pop-up window of McAfee and it appears only in white. Also, when I try to run programs of browser such as Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, two of them don't open even.

    I wanted to ask you is, how can I restore my Satellite L505D-S5965 to its factory settings? I know you might need a recovery disk, but y at - it another way?

    You can try to do this by using the HDD recovery procedure > http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

  • How to restore an IdeaPad s10e to factory settings?

    Hi all! I'm new to this forum. I've looked everywhere for a solution to my problem and I can't find an adequate response.

    I have an IdeaPad s10e (which I love), but lately there have been strange and bizarre things going on with XP (network WPA - PSK protected works do not crash, windows that open by themselves programs). Until someone jumps and say "VIRUS!" is not that. I always take the necessary precautions to avoid this problem. What happened is that I used some StarDock programs to revamp XP and he started doing all these crazy things, I uninstalled them and it's always weird.

    Anyway, I wanted to restore my netbook to state of factory, but since I installed Ubuntu 9.04 and Windows 7 with XP my restore F11 option is missing. When I installed Ubuntu, the option was always there, but when I installed the Windows 7 RC cursed the charger ate this option. Now I have restored XP bootloader and deleted the Ubuntu partition, but the F11 option is still missing.

    So, what can I do?... I really want to restore my netbook back to normal. This time, Windows 7 won't be an option until I can buy the full version.

    So please help me. And I also read a few posts on the drive before using the netbook and other cloning, but none of that will help me. Lenovo support is not very useful.

    Thanks in advance!

    I thought about it. I reinstalled Ubuntu and used his GRUB Bootloader and then I was able to access the recovery partition. No expensive need recovery disc or contacting Lenovo to hear a long and boring excuse.

    Thanks for your replies!

    I have a product recovery cd and tried to turn on the computer with her in the hard disk in the hope that it would automatically run, I tried pressing 0 at startup, but once again, noting happens, the computer just starts normally

    When I put the disc while the machine is running already that I just get a load of files, but nothing obvious that looks like it would go to the recovery of the product.
    would be grateful and help :)

    Start your laptop and press F12 repeatedly to enter the boot menu.
    When the boot menu appears recovery disc into the optical disc drive.

    Press ENTER.

    If it please and I hope, installation of recovery starts.

  • Clueless users accidentally restore their machines to the factory settings. How is that possible?

    I had one up to four cases where users have restored their machines to the factory settings. These users know nothing about computers and appear to be shocked as much as me on the fact that it has been restored. By default, all windows restore features are disabled by group policy which covers everyone. This means that they are using the Dell restore feature on their machines and unknowingly restore their systems. It only happens on newer Dell computers that we began to receive that comes with Windows 7.

    The last of them was the straw that broke the camels back. She said she kept tripping his power strip that caused here system constantly crash. I don't know who got the windows of catering for here to push blindly. She does not deny that she does nothing wrong and now trying to blame us (IT Dept) for the system being reset.

    Is it possible that the System Restore automatically after constant incidents or the user must press a button to get there? Questions that you need to restore, I see that there may be a restoration to a simple pressure to default settings. Or am I wrong?

    I found as follows to disable the system restore feature Dell and will apply to all new machines. I searched for examples of what happens to others but have not turned to the top of any "accidental restores.

    wesodo,

    System Restore should not be the problem, something has caused the shutdown of the system. Try to run full diagnostics, press F12 on startup and report to the back of any error message.

    Since you are the it Department, maybe delete the original image, given that you should have drives for the operating system for each system. If no disk were made, the attempt to read...

    I guess that when the system crashed, he triggered the problem with starting the system. The person should have come to you at this moment there, but didn't. Then they tried to startup repair, when they were invited, then it did not work, then, you are prompted to restore the original image system. If the original image is deleted, then they will have to come to you for help.
