• How to recover my computer to factory settings? How to buy recovery discs and which ones?

  I recently bought a used computer on craigslist.  It's a HP Pavilion a6700f.  He came originally with Vista, but the previous owner installed Windows 7 32 on it.  I want to put it back to factory settings, but I can't seem to do it without the recovery disks, which I did not.  I have tried F11 at startup, but the system recovery won't be open in this way for a reason any.  I tried to buy HP recovery disks, but they only for Windows Vista 64-bit.  I'm not sure if my computer came with Vista 64 bit or -34, although she has 34 bit Windows 7 right now.  How can I recover the computer to factory settings?  Can I buy the Vista 64-bit recovery discs and use them?  Will they work?  Thank you.

  Hello

  Good luck.

  ps. Based on the following link, its original operating system was:

  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium with Windows Media Center with Vista Service Pack 1 (64-bit)

• Recovery discs and product keys?

  My laptop came with no recovery disc and began to play up if I want to erase everything and leave. The disks of backup that have been made are only records do not and do not let me recover the system. Can I use a disc of recovery from another PC, but enter the product key for the laptop? My two machines running Vista Home premium. The disc of recovery for a Dell desk top and my laptop is a Sony. Is it still possible to interchange the recovery discs? I have to download different drivers for the laptop before you erase the hard drive? Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time. Gary.

  Hello

  Sorry, but you cannot use a recovery disk on a Sony Dell.

  This applies to all of the different brands.

  And if you have problems with the backup disks you made, read this information toreinstall Vista:

  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.

  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.

  Hello

  I wonder why you need this disc?

  I think you don t know a fact. The diskette of starting in not necessary but you need a compatible CD/DVD player if you want to start from the CD or DVD.

  The Portege M200 supports the recovery through the BIOS (by pressing 'C') with the USB 2.0 card and PCMCIA (16-bit and Cardbus).

  _Following and controllers (USB, PCMCIA) can be used: _
  one) Toshiba, PA3352E-SCD2, CD-RW/DVD-Rom USB 2.0 drive

  This means that you have nothing to change in the BIOS, because it is the default value.

However, I was wondering if there was a set of upgrade of these recovery disks that has windows 7 or even 8 windows also. I don't know if it's possible, but I'd rather have atlkeast of windows 7 since hp is obsolete and my HP has Vista but Vista is next on the chopping block to be supported and eventually dropped. Any help and suggestions are welcome. Thank you

  Hello

  Sorry, you can get a HP Win 7 set for your PC recovery disc because it comes with Vista, as the preinstalled operating system.

  Win Vista is supported extended until April 2017. Win 7 is covered until January 2020.

• Portege M200 - WLan disappears and cannot be reconnected

  Hey guys,.

  I have a toshiba portege M200 computer laptop with Windows XP Professional and SP2.

  If I turn the WLAN adapt the WLAN network appears once and I can connect and use it without problem.

  If I disable and enable the wireless network adapter or it spend some time the WLAN network is not shown. A restart does not help.

  Can someone tell what is the problem?

  Hello

  How do you disable the wireless network adapter?
  Did you use the switch on the side of laptops?

  Usually the wireless network must be enabled by using the FN + F8 option
  So if you your wifi does not work then you must use the FN + F8 combination keys to activate the WLan again.

  In addition, you should check if you are using the latest driver WLan...

• Can I delete my recovery disc and create a new? (HP Envy ko25dx m6)

  Hi, I have a HP envy ko25dx m6 that I had a few problems of Windows 8 upgrade to 8.1. I was stuck at a black screen at startup upward. I had to contact the HP support by phone and they ended up sending me a flash drive with the recovery factory data. When I went through the process of getting my computer working again, one of the steps set to the recovery on the D: drive partition to store the data of the flash player in order to proceed. I ended the process and return my computer to Windows 8. After finishing, I now have a problem. By clicking on file Explorer, D: drive shows that almost complete, but when I click on it to view the files, he said "this folder is empty". When I go into computer management-storage-disk management, I have 2 recovery drive D: of. a watch NTFS file system, while the other has a white and they are both free 11% (89% full). There are also 3 other volumes without a name; 2 have a status of "healthy (recovery partition)" and 1 has a status of "healthy (EFI system recovery). These volumes without a name are a total of 1 100 MB (1.1 GB) and they are all 100% free. The only thing that shows when I right click all these volumes, D is help and when I click that, without a name, it is in fact, not useful. When I right-click the C: drive, it shows: open, to explore, to mark the partition as active, etcetera... Is it possible for me to access and return the volumes not named in C:? And is there a way for me to delete the data on the D: drive and recreate the data of recovery from this point?  A week ago I tried the upgrade from 8 to 8.1. During the process, it was recommended I have create a collection set but was unable to do so because of the saturated D: drive and the fact that I didn't have a pretty great to external storage. I decided to update the drivers and go forward without creating recovery series or by creating a large enough volume of space I have on C:. When the computer was made with installation and update of its utmost, it got stuck on a black screen again, this time with the cursor and the ability to access with Ctrl + Alt + Delete Task Manager. I had to use it to manually download drivers Windows 8.1 because it was not possible to do it from 8. 8.1 now works. I keep getting warnings about D: being so full and I understand having a nearly full disk affects the performance of the computer. If more information is needed, please let me know. Thanks for reading, if you haven't done this until now!

  All "readers" you see are part of the factory installation of Windows 8 and HP. The recovery partition is designed to return the computer to a factory State and nothing more. You cannot delete the d: partition "HP Recovery" and re-create an updated recovery image. The following illustration shows the partitions installed at the factory on my 13 HP x 2 Split;

• Using recovery discs W530 Win 7 on W540

  Hi all
  I own W530 and W540 thinkpads. I bought W530 nearly 18 months and W540 almost 3 months ago.
  W530: Win 7 Pro, 24 GB, 250 GB, 500 GB HARD drive, recovering the SSDS (Win7)
  W540: Win 8, 16 gb, 500 gb HDD, recovery disks (Win8)
  I did not win 8, I want to install Win 7 on it. Can I use Win 7 recovery disks accompanying W530 on W540?
  I tried but did not work for me. Had a blue screen (0x0000007B)

  Thanks for the help.

  Nice day.

  You do not mention Win8Pro, so I guess that your W540 came with Win8Std (aka Win8Core). Some machines under licence Win8Pro (not limited the W540) came with demotion Win7Pro right, have been imaged as such factory and included the support of recovery Win8Pro. In any case, I'm not totally surprised that the W530 media do not, technically.

  If my hypothesis is correct, to accomplish what you are after, I think that you will need to purchase a license Win7Pro.

  Hope this helps to clarify.

  Kind regards.

• Reinstallation of Windows 8 using a recovery disc and need product key

  Recently my computer crashed and needs to be reinstalled using a disc of recovery of Windows 8.

  After selecting my country and spoken language, in the next screen, he invites me to enter a product key, which I can't access anything as it is already encrypted in the software.

  I can not forward a more unless I can access the product key.

  Really need help here

  Hello Lauren,

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

  If your computer came pre-installed with Windows 8, then using the recovery disk don't ask for the product key. The product key of Windows 8 on new machines is now integrated into the motherboard. It uses the Secure Boot technology.

  If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. If you have an OEM computer that is preinstalled with Windows 8, then you must contact the manufacturer of the computer that the computer broke down recently so that they can help you.

  If your computer came pre-installed with Windows 7, then you must install Windows 7 first and then upgrade to Windows 8.

  Response with the State of the question and we will be happy to offer you our help.

• Using system recovery discs and now windows won't load.

  My computer crashed and I tried everything to get it running and backup. My desktop computer does start all the way to the top.

  The HP page will load, so I can use the f keys. When I run the diagnostic tools (f9) it test all memory, cpu, hardware ect and says it's fine.

  I reloaded Windows Vista off my system recovery disks, I did once I bought the computer. I had to do it every six months or more. Several times in recent weeks.

  It then goes to the windows error recovery page if I select one of the options, it is empty. It never makes it to the login page.

  Thank you

  There is no limit on the number of times you can use the recovery disks.  You must contact the manufacturer about the recovery process, as it is them and not Microsoft.  Each manufacturer does things differently and we don't have access to this information.

  In regard to the upgrade to Windows7, you must upgrade work install Vista system if it does not you will need to purchase a full retail copy of Windows7 and do a cleaning.  The problem is that you don't know if Windows7 is compatible with your system - and once you open the package the seller will probably accept returns.  It ' was a great risk to do this withour executes the first Windows7 Compatibiity advise http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/upgrade-advisor.aspx but if you have no access to your system you can't run it.  You can get in your system somehow?  Have you tried safe mode with networking (repeatedly press F8 during the boot process until the menu appears)?  If you can somehow get, run this check before considering the upgrade to Windows7.  You can also ask the manufacturer if your system is compatible with Window7 but they may or may not provide a correct answer.  The decision and the risk is all yours.

  The short answer is that you need to discuss this problem with the manufacturer and follow their advice.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
