  • The difficulty to restore my laptop to factory setting.

    I came home one day to find that there was a virus on my HP Pavilion Dv7 - 4009tx Enterainment Notebook PC and since I had important things backed up on my external hard drive I have much better just to restore my laptop back to factory settings, I find the best way to get rid of problems like this. (they rarely anyway).

    So I turned off my phone and then launch it and press F11, the window with three boxes popped up, I already knew what to do but the ability to set my laptop to factory settings was not in the first box where it should be, thinking that I made a mistake I looked on the internet and it said : this is how you do it. Confused out of my mind as to where the option went I tried the three other options available in the "I need help immediately" box and however the laptop has restored back to factory settings, but not completely, programs and software initially provided with the laptop were no where.

    I tired the other method to restore using the Restore Manager, option restore my laptop to factory setting was there to my greatest joy and I clicked it expecting it to be restored, but rather after the restart he come to a window with the restoration of the system and repair the start and a few other options.

    I'm really lost to restore my laptop to its factory originally settings as I had done a few times before. Nobody knows what is happening or what I'm doing wrong. My laptop runs only two years soon which means that it is not that old to have this kind of weird problems and I really need my laptop to do my uni work, I need to fix as soon as I can.

    Hello

    Virus problem has probably corrupted the partition on the computer. In this case, you will be unable to perform a factory reset of the recovery partition.

    You will need to perform a recovery using the HP recovery discs. If you have not created any recovery media after the purchase, you can order online them or directly call the technical assistance for the embedded discs out to you. This operation brings the computer to factory again.

    Here is the link to order online:

    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

  • Can reset my laptop to factory settings delete my mails permanantly?

    I have a very serious problem and I want to know that if I reset my hp pavilion g series laptop windows 7 to factory settings removes all the emails I sent and received? I want to know if it's possible that's because I got friendly with a woman on facebook and she got a little too friendly and began to send me emails asking me to have an affair with her, I immediately told her no thank you and that I loved my wife and I would never cheat on her , which in fact aggravated the situation because she then sent me an email saying she had the best night of his life the night before and I've convinced him as no other man had ever done and that she could not wait until next time to make love once again, this woman is completely disturbed and is determined to ruin my marriage I deleted all the emails, but my wife is pretty good with a computer and I'm worried sick she'll recover my emails and feel bad because I think she can say that something is troubling me, in any case could someone please tell me that if I reset my computer to factory settings it would erase these emails for good or it could be the end of a happy marriage I really appreciate it someone could answer me this question because to be honest, I have not much experience with computers and have no idea of what happens when factory settings is used so plz someone help please because I'm going to have a nervous breakdown seriously, thank YOU.

    A factory image recovery will delete all emails.

    I have to honestly tell you that any decent forensic program will retrieve all emails.

    Your best bet is to make sure that you have your game disks recovery and all the license keys for programs installed once you have received your laptop.

    Buy a replacement hard drive and install it. If you do not know how, then it done by a PC shop.

    Once the new drive is installed, use the serial or usb disk recovery recovery media to return your laptop to its factory delivered State.

  • 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,.

  • If I reset my laptop to factory settings it will wipe windows also?

    I have a new hp laptop (for me), I want to erase all the stuff, news, programs and diverse, that the previous owner has on it. What is the safest way to do this? If I put the laptop to factory settings this will also wipe away windows and other programs with it?

    Yes, without the disc. It has a separate recovery designed for this partition. You should have no problem... It will fill, and then do the initial Setup Wizard, so you can set your laptop to your personal settings.
