Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to 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

iPod classic you want to restore to the factory cannot remember the password
I have two iPod classic I want to recycle. I don't remember the password that is associated with one of them. When I connect to iTunes and click on restore option, it asks for a password that I don't remember.
Any suggestions for me?
Thanks in advance!
A classic iPod has an iTunes password not perform a restore. I think he asks your password for the Mac admin user account. Enter the password that you enter normally when you allow changes on your Mac, like installing new software.

Restore everything to factory settings.
I have a HP Pavilion 521N Home Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 2 of Office I got from my grandmother. The computer is running extremely slow. I want to restore it to factory again. I do not have a disk. I noticed that she has been commissioning, if I hit F10 it gave me a chance to do what I'm trying to do. Is the right way to do it or there at - it another way?
Thank you, Dan cotton
No, you guessed it! Press F10 and enter the HP recovery process. Use the advanced settings and perform a full recovery destructive. Once the recovery process is finished (and be patient, a lot of programs will be installed after you get in Windows), uninstall the software obsolete/undesirable/trial. Upgrade to XP Service Pack 3 and make all Windows updates. Install current versions of common programs such as Adobe Reader, Java, Flash, Shockwave, etc. Install a good antivirus like NOD32 (commercial), Avast or Avira (the two of them have free versions) and enjoy your "new" computer MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

computer inheirerted of father and you want to restore the factory installed vista system but do not know the password of admin fathers
Hello
You should not have a password to reinstall Vista.
Microsoft prohibits any help given in these Forums for you help bypass or "crack" passwords lost or forgotten.
Here's information from Microsoft, explaining that the policy:
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
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.
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.

Satellite L755D-10U - I want to restore to out of box state
Afternoon, I have a Satellite L755D-10U and want to restore the factory settings.
I tried to create a recovery disk using the recovery disk creator but I got two errors.One is in "all programs, toshiba, then recovery disc creator" and shows an error of missing shortcut of TRMCLcher.exe.
The other by the bias of my taskbar and said "No HDD Recovery Area". The recovery partition is still in my D: to 12.5 GB in size.
I have not yet tried the power down and zero route again as I would like to know if restoring to factory settings will erase all data on my Partition D. I got all my University stuff on atm here and even if I can save to another drive also I want to know if it will erase the data on the disks.
Cheers in advance for any help
> One is in "all programs, toshiba, then recovery disc creator" and evokes a mistake of shortcut missing TRMCLcher.exe.
TRMCLcher.exe means that Toshiba Recovery Media Creator Launcher and this exe file should begin the process of recovery, but it doesn t.
Why? Who probably knows the system has been confusing upward or something has changed on the HARD disk partition.
The same pattern may be why no. HDD recovery area message.
Always is it that there are two options to recover the notebook:
(1) recovery disc (not possible because you n t have a)
(2) HARD drive recovery option (check if this is possible: turn on the device, press F8-> fix my computer-> HDD recovery)If the two possible isn t, you need to recovery disk to perform the recovery procedure.

Satellite L350D-213 - restoration of the factory without disks
Hello
I came to this page because the Web, so many people say you don't need a disk and many others say that you do! {Massive headaches} CONFUSED!
After last week, ending up with the UKASH virus on my computer, a friend helped and explains to go into MSCONFIG in safe mode and disable all, then I could finally get into my normal settings and do a scan to wipe it. I ran ad-aware, but later removed that he had fallen behind EVERYTHING, including IE. Then, I saved all my stuff and deleted from my computer to make room. I then did some general research and followed the instructions. "speed up my performance" followed by a few scans/clean ups and Defrags.
I don't remember what I did to remove panic and difficulty Ukash and performance thereafter, except that I know that some applications do not work, because of a name of a file I know I deleted as 'my speed' and some I do not know why they do not work.
After spending TWO WEEKS on this issue, it is better, the UKASH went, my performance is faster BUT the strange problem of a file, and I'm done with him! I want to do a factory restore to put all rights that I can and have done wrong.
My question is; Can I do a record of WITHOUT restore factory, I don't remember if I've ever had a recovery disk, but if I did, I don't have any him more as they have become lost or misplaced.
What are my options?
My biggest fear is I'm at half way through the restoration of the factory and it prompts for a disk and I don't have. I also drive HARD recovery on my laptop on drives C and D.
(System Restore does not work for me either, I have no restore points or can I create one, so another reason why I need to do a restore of the fctory)
Kind regards.
In your situation you should not spend a lot of time speculating on what the people are saying. In the user s manuals document described clearly how it works with the recovery image installation, creating recovery image and what your options are.
In my opinion the best solution for virus affected system is new and clean install of the OS. It's certainly more radical solution but, I think of easier and faster way to have own OS again. The first step is the backup of the data, if possible and recovery image installation (factory settings).
Recovery image can be installed on two ways:
1 as described on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm HARD drive recovery facility
2 with recovery disk created recovery image installationI presume you didn't create this disk so that you can do now is to order on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
In any case, try it please with option 1 and send feedback.

How can I turn off the laptop after restoring it to factory settings?
Hello everyone
I'm selling my Portege R830-10 q If I want to restore it to the settings to factory (out-of-box state) AND THEN TURN IT OFF.
I brought the laptop to factory settings successfully using the _TOSHIBA recovery Wizard_ and choosing * factory default software recovery (Recover State out-of-box) *. However, at the end of the process of recovery and after everything is back in place I was not able to TURN off the POWER to the laptop. It only gave me the option to restart. After rephrasing it, the Windows installation process starts.
I don't want to install Windows, i.e. language, keyboard, user account, etc. I want to leave the Windows installation for the person buying the laptop to me. How can I turn off the laptop after the recovery of the system without having to install Windows?
I would appreciate your help.
Concerning
Pedro
When the recovery process is complete and you are prompted for a reboot just press start button / stop and turn it off. I think it's only thing you can do.
Anyway, why not start Windows and go through the configuration option. New owner can modify this basic anyway parameters. As username Admin and language and the keyboard can be set as default.
For example, if you have a picture of German recovery set to German. New owner can change in any case.

Cannot restore to the factory settings
I have the Acer Aspire 7741z laptop. The computer has frequent problems, and I want to restore it defaults. I've already saved important files and had planned to do a full restore to the factory settings, but the eRecovery program does not work for me. It starts the process, says that it needs to restart, check I want to replace the data on the hard drive and restarts. The problem is, it just restarts. No recovery process, no reset factory default. Alt + F10 during boot process does nothing.
I checked the partitions still exist, and I made no changes to the system since the purchase (about formats, etc.). Of course, I'm no longer under warranty period, it seems getting direct support from Acer is not going to happen.
If anyone can help? I really want to restore this laptop to its default settings.
