How to return to the factory settings obtained so much waste on my laptop I want to start

Have a lot of garbage on my laptop is so slow, but I have Virgin broadband, so I want to erase everything and start over.

Hello

There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

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

"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 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.

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.

Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

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

You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, 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 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

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

"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

See you soon.

The House of win 7 was already languages. Please guys help me how to fix my laptop.
    Best regards

    Well, you could have done your own recovery discs when you bought your PC!

    I agree that it is a shame that you can't get a copy of the disks where you live!

    If you are happy to have a cracked version of Windows, it is to you. Even if you can open a Pandora's box, we'll agree disagree on the question

    As for the problem of button, it could be a sign of a faulty keyboard or it could be a software problem. A few copies of cracking are so changed, it could be an error in the code!

    You can try and run a Linux live disk to see if it happens there. If so, then the keyboard will be replaced.

    ·         How did perform a restore factory on your computer?

    ·         Who is the manufacturer of your computer?

    Note:

    If you had done a factory restore using recovery discs system provided by the manufacturer of the computer or by using the recovery on your computer partition. You will not be able to recover user files and folders on your computer. Perform the restore factory on a computer will format the entire hard drive and re - install a new copy of Windows. This process is not reversible except as the system restore.

    Difference between restoring the system and restore the factory:

    System Restore is a Windows system restore. It resets Windows and a majority of programmes to registered previous States, defeating all updates, new facilities and changes to settings that have happened after the restore point has been set. It is not, however, recover deleted data files or get rid of the infection. Your data will not be affected by the Windows system restore.

    System of recovery or factory restore , this is generally what the constructor calls their built-in tool to reset the entire computer to factory default. If your computer came with restore or recovery disks, then they do the same thing. All data on the system wiped and only what came on the system initially is reinstalled, with the kind permission of the recovery disks. All your data, added programs and ideally viral infections are removed, and the system is as if it was when you bought

    You can use any third-party data recovery software and check if you can retrieve lost data or images of your hard drive.

  • HP8600 Pro: how to reset to the factory settings

    Hello

    I googled this and don't read several threads on this forum, no solution is never publicly displayed for this (VERY frustrating) problem and apparently only sent by email or PMs.  So, here I am how I completely reset my printer in order to change the configuration of the network?  All options are locked (including the option 'Restore the default settings of the network', so please don't ask me to do, I already checked and cannot access this option).  I also do NOT have access to the EWS connection info and who cannot access either.

    Nobody has ever owned this printer before, I bought it new a product typical and am only asking because I have the problem of "flashing lights" (as infamous) after the passage of routers.

    Thank you.

  • Qosmio F60 trying to return to the factory settings

    Hi all

    I recently purchased a Qosmio F60. When I started it upward and the preload Windows 7 has started to install, I clicked on the option for 64-bit. A few days later, after the installation of a few other programs I noticed in configuration/system board that windows was reported as 32-bit. (Yes, I'm sure that I chose 64-bit). He noted also that 4gig ram withonly 2.98 usable.

    First of all, can someone explain why this could be?

    I had not created a recovery disk because I planned to load the machine with all the programs that I use regularly and THEN create the recovery disk and image. However now that I see that windows is apparently loaded as 32 bits I want to return to the beginning and reload the windows preinstalled as 64-bit. I really need it to make full use of the suite cs4 Adobe. And I'm confused as to why only three-quarters of my ram is usable.

    I backed up the data (a little), I've created so far and the TOSAPINS file and put it on a USB key. What is the best way to restore it to how it was when I got it out of the box? It came with preloaded trial of Office 2007, and Norton, versions.

    If I go back to the system default Toshiba Restore Point will it take me back to where I re - load Windows? Or is it just restore point after installing windows?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Can you please tell us what F60 (F60 - xxx) have you exactly.
    It is really strange that you have it with 32-bit because I know with certainty that this machine comes with 64-bit only.

    To be honest, there is no sense to install 32-bit on such portable high-end with excellent material. Please try to install the recovery image using HARD drive recovery procedure. Procedure is described on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

    Please note:
    When you want to create the recovery DVD you will get recovery on that image if all applications that you will install in addition will appear not in this recovery image.

  • How can I reset to factory settings if I formatted the hard drive?

    Hello, so long story short the two drives on my Alienware m17x r4 have been formatted (the 32 GB SSD and HDD of 750 GB). What I didn't realize at the time, was that the image/factory settings are stored somewhere in there. So now, I wonder if I can get a picture of system to factory settings or if there is another way to return to the factory settings? Any help would be appreciated.

    I am running Windows 7 in addition, in the case where what matters.

    If you want to create an image of Win7 or Win8 factory restore use AlienRespawn (all that came pre-installed), you should do so before you installed Windows 10 (and/or your formatted disks). It must have been written to a flash drive and stored in a safe place (not hit).

    Re - install Windows 7 (or 8.1 is similar).
    en.Community.Dell.com/.../19376654

    If you need media of Windows OEM Dell-Alienware to clean-install of Windows, contact Dell.
    www.Dell.com/.../Media

    You can get Windows-10. ISO from Microsoft, or possibly Dell support downloads
    (for your specific Service of some machines label that comes with Win-10 preinstalled).

    My notes:

    Alien-Respawn is simply a version of the Alien on the theme of Dell backup and restore (DBaR)

    dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/.../Dell-Backup-and-Recovery

    It doesn't seem to work correctly under Windows-10.

    www.dell.com/.../EN

    You should now use Win - 10 backup Imaging or a third-party software such as Acronis and Macrium Reflect.

    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! ;)
