M55-S325: how to format the laptop?

How can I reformat my laptop which is a M55-S325, and what I have to do this.

Hello David

The question is what you want to install on your laptop?
Image recovery or maybe Microsoft Windows XP edition full home version?

If you use the recovery that will be formatted the HARD drive before Setup starts and with the installation of Microsoft there is an option that format any partition or HARD drive.

Good bye

  • How to format my laptop Hp DV6

    Hello

    Can you please tell me how to format my laptop Hp Pavilion Dv6 I have Windows 7 on it. I also see a partition recovery on my computer option.

    My system has a root virus inside. Whenever I Boot scan my computer I see a lot of viruses. I tried to remove it too anti-malware and spyware. But I can't get rid of it. Using spyware last week, I lost all the files in my system. Then I had to use recovery software to recover all my data. My friend suggested me to format my computer. Will it be useful?

    Please guide me...

    Formatting the hard drive of your laptop is not a good idea. Ask your friend if he intends giving you a real legal DVD of installation of the operating system on your laptop.

    Please identify your laptop / pc with more than the number of series. Look at the basic/back/side of the pc/laptop to the sticker with barcode. Post numbered items 1 and 2 on the next image.

    Display the version of the operating system installed (and either 32 or 64-bit)

    Are you able to still use the internet?

    What are you using to scan your laptop computer for viruses, etc.?

  • ProBook 6470b: problems after format the laptop and load the W7

    Hi all

    Here are my problems:

    After 2 years using the laptop, I decided to format it and reboot with the disk W7 of professional origin.

    At the same time, I exchanged the original SATA HDD with a new SSD in Kingston.

    After you have installed all the drivers, it seems to work very well and much more quickly, but has two problems:

    1 - the automatic update of Windows does not work. Only is looking for available updates, but it ends, even > 24 h research.

    2. before reinstalling, my battery lasts for 5 hours. Now only 2 to 2.5 hours.

    Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve my problems?

    Thanks in advance.

    Ernest

    Good, glad it worked

    Have you had any success with the BIOS settings? Contact HP support directly for this may be a good idea here.

  • Satellite P30: How to format the HARD drive and install a new OS?

    I have a satellite P30 laptop with Windows XP. I plug myself a new OS (namely because I can't find my old recovery CD CD and OS) that I want to do a re-shape full of my system. Reason is that my system has been painfully slower and slower over the last year. I even updated my RAM to 512 MB standard supplied with the machine to 2 GB, but it seems to have had little or no effect. So my questions are:-

    1] where can I get my hands on the restore CD that has all the drivers on this subject, and any recovery CD to reformat my HARD drive?
    [2] in the order in which I will make this reformatting?
    How can [3] after having bought an external HARD drive to keep files that I don't want to lose, I transfer those of before my re - format?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated

    Hello

    You received with the laptop Toshiba Recovery CD! Am I wrong?
    So what s the problem?

    Simply insert the CD and try to boot from this CD.
    The restore CD contains all Toshiba drivers, tools and utilities Windows OS + additional software like Win DVD for example.
    The installation will set the laptop to factory settings, but will also format the HARD drive!

    Up to now, we come to the point 3; --> How do I save the data
    If you have purchased a second HDD and connect it to the USB port and transfer all the necessary files on the second HDD
    If you have purchased only the HARD drive, then you will need a USB HDD 2.5 case.

    Best regards

  • How to reformat the laptop with Vista

    I don't know how can I format my laptop.i have family vista premium, I made a file of data recovery d and I don't know what to do next to format.

    * How can original title - I format my laptop? *

    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, Acer, recovery disk/s 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):

    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

    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.

  • How to format the HDD on my Satellite C855 1GQ

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C855 1GQ.
    How to format my HARD drive for your help thanks.

    Hello

    I don't know what you want to do exactly. HARD disk can be formatted before installing original recovery image that you got with your machine but also if you want to install the version of the OS.

    If you created the recovery disc you can format the HARD drive by using one of the available options (erase the hard drive) - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm
    In the case you want to use the installation of Microsoft at the beginning of the installation disc disc HARD current will be shown. You have the option to delete existing partitions, create new partitions and install the Windows operating system.

    Please let us know what you want to do exactly.

    Hello

    If some applications to the launch of the system, then you should check the startup folder. All programs that are placed in this folder will start on startup. In addition some entries in the registry are responsible for applications from.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run

    You should see some entries. But if you're not 100% sure that the Scriptures are important to BONE you shouldn't t remove anything.
    I think that the best way to solve these problems all small is to use Win XP System Restore tool. This tool can restore the operating system to the beginning.
