• Satellite A200-17O - how to restore Windows to the factory settings?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A200-17O. I want to restore Windows Vista to factory settings, I did not need to backup all the files. I don't have the product recovery CD. When I press F8 and click on the "Repair" option, it will give me all the options, but when I click on the option to completely recover the system (the one on the bottom), it will simply open a window telling me to back up my data, then theres a button 'OK', and when I click that, the window will simply close and return to the menu options. All I want is to return Vista to factory settings.

  Thank you for your help.

  Hello

  Yes, normally you can restore your computer laptop initial configuration using disk HARD recovery option. Therefore, you must follow the instructions here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

  If it doesn't work, you need to use the Toshiba recovery disc. If your computer laptop didn t come with such a recovery disk you create yourself using recovery preinstalled creator tool. This is mentioned in your user manual, have you checked it?

  Therefore, you need a few blank DVDs. I recommend the DVD-R from Verbatim or TDK. Many users here have a good experience with these brands.

  If you have any other questions, just after again! ;)

• Restore Windows Vista to factory settings

  Now, for a while I tried to reset my Windows Vista Setup. ERASE EVERYTHING on it. Every time I restart the computer and spam constantly F8, the debug menu appears where it has all the options. I'll choose repair your computer, but when I do, recovery appears. I do not want to restore it in time, I want to erase everything. Help, please!

  Hello

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

  They should do this for a fee, if they were to have always available.

  _________________________________________________

  To reinstall Vista with the help of their recovery disk/s if they gave them, 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:

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

  Them or us ask the right sequence of key.

  ___________________________________

  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 in the event of hard disk failure.

  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.

  ___________________________________

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can borrow and use a DVD Vista Microsoft (selling retail or OEM System Builders License), which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as well as 32-bit and 64-bit editions different DVD lights.

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

• How to restore the computer to factory settings?

  I want to restore my computer back factory settings im tp do not know how to do that please inform me on what I do you solved the problem

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the 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.

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the 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

  Another possibility is to wait until Windows XP is running and click Start > all programs > Tools HP > HP PC System Recovery .

• Repeated unsuccessful attempts to reset the desktop computer (Windows Vista) to factory settings

  I found that I have a virus on my pc. I tried to use recovery tools in the OS partition to reset the computer to factory settings. It keeps giving me an error: access to \Tools\dp.sc was denied, I tried to run as administrator, but still will not work. I tried once again in safe mode, it always gives me an error, but without the sentence or an error number. It just says ERROR. Is there another way to try a factory reset? I have the DVD of reinstalling OS to Vista 32 BIT SP1, but my computer has been upgraded with SP2. Any suggestions?

• How to reinstall Windows 8 to factory settings?

  I'm trying to reinstall Windows 8 Pro on my computer. The problem is this: I've upgraded to Pro 7 8 and when I go to "reset to factory settings" I get a message saying «some files may be missing, insertion of media» This 'media' am I supposed to insert? I have all my media recovery, I did when I first turned on my computer (Win 7) and I have the drive that the tech helped me to burn my Windows 8 Pro upgrade. Which one should I use? I'm trying to get my computer to where I have nothing on the hard disk, but Windows 8 Pro. In other words, I want a clean, like new, of the machine. Or would it be better to do a custom installation of Windows 7 and wipe all my hard drive, leaving only the installation of Windows 7 and download the upgrade of Windows 8 by using the product key that I bought? Facing a dilemma of folk here! If this thread seems a bit confusing, it's because I'm working on three different machines. I'm not interested in the backup of personal files or media. I just want a 'Clean' install on a single partition, if that's possible.

  If I do as suggested by Abraham, he returns it back to Win 8 or Win 7?

  Then, you do a reset.  Press Win - I, then click Power and hold down SHIFT while you press Restart.  Follow the instructions to reset your computer.  It will take about six hours, but everything will be back to factory settings.

• I want to restore my computor to factory settings, after that which will update what I have to do. SP1 and sp2? is all that I need to do?

  When I restore vista to the factory settings, what updates to this what I need to do? I just install sp1 & 2? My computor is 5 years, so a lot of updates are needed.

  Hello

  You will NOT be offered SP1 via Windows Updates as Support for Vista without SP1 is finished.

  Click Start > right click computer > left click on properties > it will tell you it if you use Vista 32 bit or 64 bit Vista.

  You need this information to make a direct download the correct version of 'bit' of SP1.

  Once you have select the SP1 correct 'bit' download from these links:

  Vista SP1 32-bit (x 86): http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=30

  Vista SP1 64-bit: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=21299

  After you download and install SP1 in this way, you should be able to use Windows Update to get the rest necessary updates, including SP2.

• NL014UC: Restore Windows xp to factory settings

  So, I own a compaq refurbished hp (dc5800 Compact) and after all these years of uninstalling programs instaliing and other to the point that its slow ignition, loading ect...

  Now, what I want to do is just restore it too its original condition when I bought it (don't care about information loss).

  the problem is that I don't find a way to restore (excluding the microsoft system restore)

  No f11 or f8 to press key on startup to start the process or at the top.

  In addition, no hp tool

  Being a refurbished pc it came with a cd to install windows if...

  Anyway my question is are at - it means more to rehabilitate the factory?

  Thank you

  Keep track of your Windows license key.

  Usually repeatedly touch the key F11 at startup you'd bring to the Recovery Manager but the fact that it is a system refurbished, it can not be there.

  The installation CD you won't have you reinstall the system?  Would probably not be factory HP restore disc but a disc than anyone else renovated the computer does.

  If you live in the USA/Canada, call HP at this number 1-800-334-5144 and see if you can still get a set of recovery disks.  Otherwise the site worldwide: http://welcome.hp.com/country/w1/en/support.html

  I know, they have to computer surgeons if HP has no more:
