    Hello

    Since I have updated my OS to Windows 7, I have a few problems. In general, I noticed my laptop would ' t work as well as it was running Vista 32 bit. Especially with games online (souch as counter strike 1.6).

    Hi stab them.

    I think that I n the new good t for you: restore factory settings without Toshiba recovery disc isn t possible in your case! :(

    First of all I think it's normal to s no recovery disk is delivered with the laptop as you will need to create them yourself using the Toshiba recovery disc creator. That is why it s recommended using high quality as Verbatim DVD-R media.

    I think that the only option to recover to factory settings is to order a new Toshiba recovery disc.
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    I put t understand why you didn't create this disk, because after the first boot, if you shut down the computer area, you get the following message:
    + Important INFORMATION +.

    + your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair.
    + your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly.

  • Tecra A9 - how to restore the default settings?

    Hello, I have Tecra A9 pre-installed with Vista Business 32 bit.

    I want to recover my system back to normal just like when I bought it but without formatting my HARD drive also without changing the system partition.
    I want every thing with default (Reset) so for this I don't know how to use my recovery disc im confused which option to choose.

    Please answer me immediately because I want to do it now.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I think that would be simpler if you use the HARD disk recovery.
    The recovery feature formats only the first partition as the files for the recovery of HARD drive feature is stored on the second partition.

    You can also use the restore disc but this formats the entire HARD drive.
    Both methods restores the normal settings, just like when you bought it or let's say the factory settings.

    The recovery disk you created is a bootable disc. You must only boot from it and then follow the instructions on the screen.
    The HARD drive recovery feature if you go into the advanced boot menu by pressing F8 before Windows starts, you can start then choose fix my computer and now you can select the Toshiba Recovery feature.

    It of your choice you select, but two methods to do what you want. :)

  • How to restore partition factory settings after installing Win 7 Professional and after having lost everything as a result.

    I have a netbook with a partition that has win7 starter installed.  I unfortunately poorly installed windows 7 Professional and now have nothing available which was originally on the computer.  Everything was wiped clean including my ability to use / access my wireless, ethernet controller, pci, etc..  I tried repeatedly to recover the partition back to factory settings, but it won't give me the option to select the partition.  I guess that's because they are all two Windows 7.  Can you help me get it back to windows 7 edition starter of the partition so I can restore all the factory settings and programs.  I haven't lost any information or files that I loaded win7professtional as soon as I turned it on.  I have restore points, images, etc.

    When I installed Win 7 Professional, not old Info windows.old file but I don't know how to access that is.

    Help, please?  Thank you

    The Windows.old folder has two objectives:
    (1) can be used to uninstall Windows 7 and return your PC to the previous version of Windows.
    (2) contains a backup of all your files of data, documents, photos, Etc. from the previous version of Windows.

    If you don't need either of these two options can delete the Windows.old folder. In your case if you can access the "recovery Partition" to restore the windows and then back the Windows.old folder before you begin.

    Note: Option to change Windows Explorer to see the Windows.old folder:
    Click on start and enter in the box "Search": "hidden" (without the quotes)
    Click on the "Show the hidden files and folders" option at the top of the list.
    In the "Folder Options" window
    Click the 'view' if it is not already selected.
    In the list "Advanced settings" locate "hidden files and folders".
    Now click 'show files and folders '.
    Then, disable the following:
    "Hide empty drives in the computer folder.
    "Hide the extensions of the file types that you want to know."
    "Hide protected operating system files"

    Click on the "Apply" button and the OK"" button.

    You can remove the need for a power on password as follows.

    Shut down the laptop.  Now on TAP the ESC key as soon as you press the power button to access the start menu, then select f10 to open the Bios menu.  Use the arrows to select the Security tab and press ENTER.  Use the arrow keys again to highlight the power on password and press ENTER.  Enter the current password and then the new password, simply leave this blank and press on enter - do the same for the confirmation field.  Press f10, select this option to save the new settings and press to enter.

  • Equium A210-17I - how to restore to factory settings?

    I want to restore my system to the factory systems but I don't have a disc. So how do we do it without having a?

    If you didn t get recovery disk your laptop probably shipped with HDD recovery option and all the info on this you will find in the document s user manuals. To be honest I m wondering you didn t pick up some info on cell phone you have.

    In any case, try to run the recovery procedure of HARD drive following the instructions in http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

    If this does not work, you have a big problem. Please inform us if HDD recovery works or not.

    Hello

    I need to restore the phone to factory settings which is Windows Vista, but all I have is the disk that came with the laptop that says recovery product for windows xp.
    The backup system is disabled and the system restore did not resolve the issue.

    Can someone tell me how to go back to the default settings with vista?

    Can you please tell us which model of laptop you have exactly? I presume that the Vista recovery image is saved on the HARD drive. Usually, it is saved on the second partition in folder HDDRecovery.
