I need to recover my computer

There is too much clutter and my system files start to go crazy, I want back my computer to factory settings but I don't have a recovery disk...

Is it possible to recover my computer without a disk? (Windows Vista and eMachines EL1210-01F)

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

See you soon.

  • Blue Screen on Satellite P100 - need to recover data

    Putting on my laptop yesterday, I was faced with a blue screen error message that even after running chkdisk keeps appearing, even on reboot in safe mode.

    The problem is I only have the Toshiba recovery disks (not a disc XP - XP was preinstalled on your laptop) and they say on them using the wipe recovery disk computer and I need to recover data on the hard drive before reformatting.

    I took the laptop to the local repair center and they say they have to reformat and do not make data recovery.

    Any suggestions gratefully received.

    Hello

    In my opinion, there are two solutions. Is, try to get the facilities WXP CD and see if you can fix it using the option to repair Windows XP Home edition or use supplied recovery media and do a clean install of the operating system. After doing this you will put factory once again and everything will be OK again.

  • Could not initialize and I need to recover the data on the hard drive.

    Original title: computer MOM will not start and I need to recover the data on the hard drive.

    It's an old computer and I do not know what version of Windows it was running.  I guess I need a bootdisk of exploitation, but where can I download that?  Or would it be easier to pull and make a secondary drive in my computer that I just replaced?  It works under Windows XP.

    Hello

    If the old system does not start could be the hard drive. Put the hard drive in another computer as a 2nd drive and then access the files. If you use a computer XP, Vista or Windows 7, you should be able to access the files, unless the drive has failed.

    You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd drive (better) or a USB external drive case and then save up to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives. Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

    Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data. (This will not work if the hard disk is defective or other issues preventing the system from booting from the CD/DVD drive.)

  • 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?

    Mitch

    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.

    ·        Remember to make changes to the system?

    It may be that your hard drive is damaged, I suggest to run chkdisk\r and check if you are able to boot to the desktop. To do this, you must boot into the recovery console, and then run the command.

    a. Boot into the recovery console. Check the steps that are mentioned in the link given below.

    Description of the Windows XP Recovery Console for advanced users

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314058

    (b) to fix the errors, look for bad sectors and recover readable information, at the command prompt, typechkdsk volume: /r, and then press ENTER.

    I suggest you return the item mentioned below.

    When you restart your computer or upgrade to Windows XP, you receive the error message "STOP 0x000000ED UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME".

    Can I charge my iPod Shuffle 4th Gen with a wall charger or do I need to use a computer?

    You can use a wall charger. The following, for example, shows in the section compatibility as being compatible with the iPod Shuffle 4th generation: http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MD810LL/A/apple-5w-usb-power-adapter?fnode=0a8 96cef6682809aaf80e8c3741f09ed6d7df9585e7fc21bb39381e2a99a7f56b6f149e5ab72d8416a9 bfa670e36cc43168558b8b8c033b881948c1230b7156cbe51af44f7fd2b9ab533d7cb453e844ccd1 80b8e71aa7359ff2698b40de39b3b

    The foregoing generally comes with iPhones, but if you have a charger which comes with an iPad, which can also be used with the Shuffle: http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MD836LL/A/apple-12w-usb-power-adapter?fnode=0a 896cef6682809aaf80e8c3741f09ed6d7df9585e7fc21bb39381e2a99a7f56b6f149e5ab72d8416a 9bfa670e36cc43168558b8b8c033b881948c1230b7156cbe51af44f7fd2b9ab533d7cb453e844ccd 180b8e71aa7359ff2698b40de39b3b

    I'm running on snow leopard and upgrade to el capitan. If I just update without backup (because I have no external HARD disk) data will generally be safe / normal after all as we updated iOS iPhone via OTA or need to recover the data again whenever we have updated to Mac OS?

    If all goes to plan, your data will be safe.  At times things go bad for a backup is indispensable if you value your data.

    It wasn't Microsoft.It is a scam and that is becoming more and more common lately. But

    even worse, if you let them into your computer, who knows what damage they did here or what confidential information they stole.

    So, if you did. I highly recommend that you do both of the following immediately:

    1 do a clean reinstall of Windows.
