• How to restore my computer to its original settings

  I am selling my computer hwow can I remove power from her

  Depends on how paranoid you are, and if your computer is equipped with a provided by the manufacturer "restore hidden partition."

  When a computer manufacturer sells you a computer with Windows preinstalled, part of the Microsoft license agreement requires that it provides a way to reinstall the operating system.  In the old days, you will get a physical media (CD or floppy disks even), but for a number of years, manufacturers have been rather including hidden software on the disk hard drive that by operating, restores the computer to the way it was when it left the factory.

  How this restoration software is started depends on the brand and model of your computer.  See your user's Guide, go to the website of the manufacturer of the computer or identify the make and model in a response here.

  Running these software in general should replace anything currently on the hard disk, including your personal information.

  For more security, before running the software 'restore', you can delete any personal data that you know (there are still a few traces in the Windows registry and other locations of the system), and then run a utility that wipes free space and soft space on the disk.  See http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-secure-erase-utility.htm

  If you have a Windows installation CD to give to the buyer - or if you do not care to sell a computer without an operating system - download Darik Boot and Nuke (DBAN).  This utility will erase safely any hard drive, including the operating system.

  The extremely paranoid, including some administrations in three letters, remove hard disks and either keep for reuse or physically destroy them (by cutting, drilling, or fusion).

• Advantages and disadvantages need to restore my computer to its factory settings

  HP Pavillion Model a4310f with AMD Athlon II X 2 250 clocked (3 GHz) Win 7 64 bit Home Premium with 4 GB of RAM.  My C: Drive has free 495 GB of 585 GB.  I have a boot disk more system recovery DVDs all created when the system has been started.  I use Trend Micro Internet Security virus and spyware protection.

  Why restore?  Overall, the answer is wrong.  Installed programs take 15-20 seconds to start.  The Internet response is all too slow.  No significant improvement if I stop of Trend Micro.  I see more thumbnails of photos - just file names.  For always takes to spool a file to the printer (HP Deskjet F4280 all-in-One) and half the time the printer will not align when new cartridges are installed. I don't think I have too many installed programs, but there are a few that I would Setup not again.

  I had my Internet provider out there and everything checks out there - they deliver what I pay for (20 Mbit/s download and 1.30 MB/s upload).

  I better leave all as is or go back and re - install only the programs that I use regularly?

  Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion a4310f. According to the specifications, the computer is more than three years old. As time passes, a Windows installation can get cluttered with a messy registry, fragmented system of orphan files and folders/files.

  In my opinion, these elements can cause the problems you are experiencing. The pros to recover the computer to a factory State, is that the performance must be returned to love the day you set up your computer. The disadvantages include having to re-install your programs, many drivers and software updates, who need back up and restore your files and personal data, etc.. Once again, in my opinion, it would be worth the effort to recover the computer to a factory State. This should cure most, if not all of your problems.

• restored my Dell computer to its factory settings, but my backup files will not restore

  original title: restoration of PC for windows XP

  Used "files and Settings Transfer wizzard" to restore my Dell computer to its factory settings.

  I saved my files to an external hard drive.

  Restoring to factory settings worked fine however not recover my files backed up.

  A message is displayed (the location you specified contains no stored information)

  I can see the USMT2 file. UNC on my external hard drive and it's big enough.

  Need help to restore my files.

  Hi GeorgeGould,

  If it helps, try the step below and check out them.

  (a) access to the following location: C:\WINDOWS\system32 and copy the USMT folder (and all what it) to the location you saved the USMT2. The UNC file.

  (b) now when you run the files and the Transfer Wizard from the settings of the computer that you want to transfer the data, navigate to the location of USMT folder you saved above and click on ""migwiz " and that should start normal files and the wizard to transfer settings from this location."

  Note: Be sure to point to the location to the root, for example, if you save your data at X:\nelson\USMT2. UNC, then point the location to X:\NOT to X:\nelson\USMT2. UNC. The wizard should find the data automatically.

  You should now be able to successfully complete the transfer process.

  Additional reference on:

  Files and settings are not transferred when you use the files and the Settings Transfer Wizard

  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

• I have an acer aspire 3690 and I am trying to restore windows xp to its factory settings how to do that

  I have an acer aspire 3690 I am trying to restore to factory settings and is only let me go back to a certain date all I want on that, that's what org. came on the computer and the internet I do not have any disk

  Page 28 of the manual of your system describes how use the built in Acer eRecovery Management software to restore your system to factory settings.

  Doing so will scan all your personal data and when you did, I think you need to configure your Internet connection again since the factory settings are unlikely to know everything about your current installation of Internet.

  If you experience a problem with your system, I think I would fix rather whatever is the problem, but here's what Acer has to say about it:

  The manual is here:

  http://support.Acer.com/us/en/product/default.aspx?modelId=5

  This article reads as follows:

  Recovery and restore features allow to restore or restore the system
  a factory default image, leave a user created image or previously
  created backups of CD and DVD. You can also reinstall applications and drivers for your Acer system.

  1. press on + or select Acer eRecovery Management of the
  From Empowering Technology toolbar to start Acer eRecovery Management.

  2. position yourself in the restoration and recovery page by selecting the button restore.

  3. Select the point of backup you want to restore from. You can also
  choose to restore the system from a factory, to retrieve a default image
  already created CD/DVD or reinstall applications and drivers.

  4. follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
