PC back to factory settings.

I have an advent 3115 PC (Windows XP SP3), which is infested with a virus and it seems that the only way to get rid of this must return the PC to factory State. I have the CD ROM recovery advent and have backed up all my important files. How can I go on the recovery process?

Bofore this, if you plan to restore your PC to the factory only due to Virus, I suggest following steps first before reformatting:

(1) download and run analysis complete with:

(2) if it fails, restart your PC and press the F8 key several times and chose safe mode and run there.

(3) if there is still problem contact security support:

  • Satellite A300-15 has back to factory settings

    Hello!

    I have an old Satellite A300-15 and I want to go back to factory settings after almost seven years of never format the hard drive.

    I did a little research on this 'how... "but I still don't know if the laptop comes with a windows recovery or not.

    I have another laptop with a score of "windows recovery", but in my toshiba, the only thing I see is a recovery of HARD drive file in my E: partition. I don't really know if that helps the reinstallation of windows.

    So if I reset the laptop with the method 'laptop computer Tower, hold the blah blah 0 button"it completely format my C: and need to reinstall windows or not?

    (Running Windows Vista)

    How it works with the recovery image installation, you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

    Start your laptop with F8 and choose the option to repair your computer. Follow the instructions on the screen and you will be able to install the original recovery image.

    Installation of recovery described called the installation of HARD drive recovery. With other words, saved on the HARD disk in the folder HDDRecovery recovery image will be reinstalled on the C partition only and the second partition of HARD drive will not be deleted or formatted.

    In my opinion, that you create the recovery using disc (DVD) preinstalled creator Toshiba recovery disc. You can use created bootable disks to install original Vista. When you use discs, the whole HARD disk will be deleted, formatted, new partitions created and installed Vista end.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • Yoga 11 s - back to factory settings

    Hello

    I need to get the recovery CD for my yoga 11s to put it back to factory settings?

    How can I achieve this?

    Please can someone help?

    Thank you

    You don't mention that you have created a recovery machine USB flash disk before the original failure to SSD, so I would say that you should contact the technical support number in my post above. They should be able to explain what options you need to recover your factory licensed operating system / configuration of the machine.

    Kind regards.

  • Back to factory settings

    Unfortunately, I managed to screw up some script in my registry entries, resulting in my not be able to uninstall my software Adobe Illustrator and InDesign (still less re - install!). Then - in a last-ditch attempt to solve the problem - I want to return to my iMac 21.5 back to factory settings and try to re - install all my software! Someone could tell me if this is the only way to solve this problem - and in this case, how do I go about this?

    I tried several Time Machine relocations, but while he said that Adobe Illustrator and In Design are in my applications, they both have a Code 5 error message when I try to open them.

    Can someone please?

Please tell us which version of Mac OS X is installed, and then we can tell you what to do to configure the computer to factory settings. Basically, you will need to do a wipe and the installation of Mac OS X, but how step has changed between 10.6.x and current versions of Mac OS X.

  • Need help with laptop back to factory settings

    can someone help me on how to put my laptop back to factory settings

    Hello

    It would help if you told us your laptop brand and operating system.

    This is general information on how to do it:

    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 using the 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:

    "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 on the hard drive Partition reinstall back to how you bought 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.

    See you soon.
