Recovery (Factory Reset)

Hello

I have a HP Probook 4730 s,

I want to completely restore my laptop to factory settings and I have everything that I want to keep on backup.

The only problem is the restoration.

I have the recovery partition that has not been affected at all. The only thing that I have contacts in the partion section creates a new volume of the C: drive for music and then delete it later. It's her!

I looked at some tutorials autour and found not all successful. When I go to press F11 I get an error in the Boot Manager. Error code (0xc0000225), many people said access to your recovery partition using the Recovery Manager program, but I don't seem to have that. Then they say you can press repeatively or hold F11 to get to the Recovery Manager, and then use the instructions on the screen to take me to the factory State.

I do not have the Instalation CD and I have no more! (My bad)

Any help would be great appriacted

When you created the extra partition, the hard disk may have been converted from basic to dynamic causing Recovery boot to fail. Check using disk management to see if your hard drive partitions are dynamic.

You can start from a utility cd and use it to convert back to base. Download Partition WizardISO and ImgBurn to burn the iso image to cd with him. A guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.

You can > Contact HP by telephone to order recovery Media.Choose your country, on the lookout for screen next to call HP and select the number under machines '' Business. ''

Edit: Changed the link to an older version of PW which has still free dynamic to basic function.

  • Can't find NVIDIA drivers after system recovery/factory reset!

    Hello

    I recently did a factory reset on my PC after problems with too many files corrupting each other, I was unable to install drivers NVIDIA back and found out that I have not GPU NVIDIA or it just could not detect it somehow. I had used perfectly drivers NVIDIA on my PC before the factory reset, so I am really confused and frustrated. I only see the Intel driver in the device under the graphics card Manager.

    My PC (or PREDATOR G3610) info:-Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

    -Intel Core i7 2600 processor

    -NVIDIA Geforce GT545 3 GB

    -16 GB of DDR3 memory

    -2 TB hard drive

    -Multi-in-1 card reader

    -Wireless network

    I thought I was simply my active Intel Driver so that my NVIDIA driver disabled in the BIOS, but I was wrong... I don't see the NVIDIA chipset in the BIOS.

    While trying to install a driver from NVIDIA, I had also came across a problem by which I am unable to do it with a message displaying: "this graphics driver could not find hardware chart compatiable.»

    To my deep appreciation to anyone trying to help me solve my problem. Let me know if you still need the info on my PC. Have a great day everyone! :)

  • Qosmio X 500/00 X System Recovery (Factory Reset) of hard disk or separate disc

    Hey guys,.

    Looking for your advice and all the links if it is... Congratulations in advance

    My Situation

    In December 2009, I bought a Toshiba Qosmio X 500 - model No. PQX33A-00X00J

    At the time, I improved my purchase at Toshiba dealer BD4U, ranging from the standard 1 x 500 GB Sata + 1 x 64 GB SSD... to be rather 2 x 500 GB sata drives. I bought with 3 year next business day warranty onsite, which is is now expired.

    It came loaded with MS Win 7 Premium Home Edition - but not the provided disks.

    My needs

    1. I need/want to reset my PC - its starts to run slowly
    2. I need re-partition of my existing 4 x partitions to just have 2

    Questions

    1. Perhaps as a result of the upgrade hard drives at the time of the purchase, I don't think I have a hidden partition restore to recover a system from hard disk - see attached image of my current partitions
    2. I have Win 7 OS installation discs or Toshiba Driver like they must have been installed by Toshiba

    My Questions

    1. Do you think that I don't have a recovery Partition - looking at the picture of the partition? I'm confused on this point coz say hidden sound!
    2. Given I have no disc Toshiba disk drivers or the operating system Windows 7 - what should I do? I think to download Win 7 (use my sticker under PC product key) and to make a disc/USB (but you have to learn how)
    3. This is where I get all of THE necessary Toshiba drivers for my PC from?
    4. Toshiba provides a link on its site and instructions on where to find Win 7 so that I can make a recovery disk?

    Notes
    Tried to send a Toshiba, but in step 1 of their process e-mail validation failed because my PC is out of warranty so will call Monday for the

    Thank YOU for any help you can give a big small ro

    Hello

    When you buy the new laptop with preinstalled OS (factory settings) original recovery image is saved on the HARD drive. On some older models, it was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive and it was visible in Windows Explorer. Toshiba later saved this recovery image on another hidden partition. This partition was not visible in Windows Explorer, but it is visible in disk management and unregistered.

    With the factory settings, each owner of the laptop is able to create recovery media (DVD) and use it later if HARD recovery disk image installation is not possible. In the user s manuals document described how all this works. Please note: the product key from the sticker belongs to the original version of Windows and cannot be used for activation when you install the version of the OS by using Microsoft disk.

    I can see this recovery partition is not available on your Qosmio laptop and recovery image installation is not possible.
    Now, you have two options:

    Recovery image installation 1 / original
    2 / Windows installation by using the Microsoft installation disc

    If you use option 1 you should try to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider in your country and ask if you can order the original installation disc of recovery. Of course, it is easier to have factory again.

    Option 2 is more complicated. You must install the version of the OS and also install all the necessary drivers, tolls and the utilities manually one by one. Download page for each of them you can find on Toshiba (link is the right one).
    It is not so complicated and you can do it alone and we can help you. As I already wrote for the activation of the operating system you need valid product key.

    If you have further questions do not hesitate to ask.

  • 23 all-in-One Pavilion: a Factory Reset also renews the recovery Partition?

    I just did a Factory reset on my 23 all-in-One Pavilion. Previously, in the past, I had inadvertently erased the recovery disc. Fortunately, as I just discovered in the rebuilding process, I did a flash backup restore.

    (1) now that I have to order, updated to 8.1 has done that also recover this recovery on the hard disk drive.

    (2) the last time I did the flash recovery he had only windows 8. Now that I have 8.1 on that I should make a new flash with window 8.1 on this recovery?

    I know that last time I did restore flash he reported that it was a matter of time. Could not do another restore backup discs or Flash after this one. So I suspect that if the recovery disc has not been restored too it does not allow me to make a new key USB recovery stick?

  • System recovery against Factory Reset?

    Hello.

    Start tx1217cl with recovery disc (F11 doesn't work is not a reason any).

    Under "Advanced Options", two choices are:

    -System Recovery (recovery of your computer to its original factory condition) and

    -Factory Reset (restore your system to its original factory condition)

    Anyone know what's the difference between these two options?    I seeks to do a destructive restore and do not know which of these options would do that, so either.

    Thank you

    System recovery reformatted only drive C, while the factory reset reformatted the entire disk.

  • Factory reset after the removal of the system recovery partition

    Hey I had deleted my recovery partition because windows limit 4 partitions and I used all the others... I can still do a factory reset now if something is wrong? Or can I create a disk recovery or something?

    Just use Windows recovery integrated to do the backup, it is free and works well. The backup is a full system image & recover as mobile in the exact configuration is in at the time of the creation.

    A clone of left player would do the same thing & tends to be much more relible HP recovery & free.

  • Pavilion 6b50ei: try to factory reset but the recovery partition/drives created are defective

    I have a pavilion dv7-6b50ei notebook pc purchased 2012. He always gives a command prompt pop up who don't stay long enough to read. I felt too there is a virus on it that my anti-virus did not solve so I tried the factory reset, but when I restart and press F11 it gives an error (something like a boot... is missing). so I tried my recovery disks. CD 1 of 4 ran fine but disk 2 continues to stop with an error. Now, the laptop will not charge because I think that the operating system was formatted during the recovery and do not know what to do. I feel disc 2 is bad too because he also gave an error trying to copy on a USB key. I also tried an external dvd and run the hp hard disk test; the hard drive passed the test. If I can get a new set of recovery discs, it would solve my problem. In addition, I look forward to ideas. Help, please.

    Hello

    There are two options available.

    1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can still read all the key character product activation 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  • Have I not correct recovery DVD for a factory reset?

    Hello

    My laptop is a ProBook s 4540

    When I bought it, it came with 4 DVDs:

    • Application and Driver Recovery DVD (windows 7)
    • Operating system DVD Windows 7 Professional SP1
    • Application and Driver Recovery DVD (windows 8)
    • Operating system Windows 8 Pro DVD

    At some point I want to Factory Reset my laptop and I wonder if this dvd is to do it since I do not have the recovery with the recovery discs manager.

    Have I not correct recovery DVD for a factory reset?

    Hello

    Even better. Factory reset will bring more information, including the bloatware. Two sets of DVD (for Windows 7 and Windows 8) are the BEST companions. You will get your machine under control and you can download other software also under control.

    We all love having two RST for each operating system.

  • How to factory reset iPad without ITunes?

    Recently, (today), I've updated to latest iOS for my iPad Air. While making a password, I wrote very fast because I have would be turned off. My mother called me for breakfast, so I left it there.

    Just before going to the school, I noticed it turned off and now have to enter a password. I tried until I disabled, and I kept trying and waiting time until what I looked up what to do. I tried to go to recovery mode using iTunes on my laptop (Yes, I plugged my camera), but he continues to have an error. I did it just once and he said she needed a response from my iPad itself.

    So, I would like to know how to factory reset my iPad without iTunes if it is still possible. I saw 10 + forums and websites but none were easy and confuse me a ton.

  • Win 10 Factory Reset

    I'm hoping for a solution to what has slowly turned into a nightmare, laptop came originally with Windows 7, upgrade to Win 10 online using an account of outlook.com as audit log.

    After a stay of 6 weeks, I inadvertently entered the password wrong outlook.com too many times and therefore has been locked on Windows 10. After trying all the options of recovery without success, I've been advised by Microsoft, the only option is a factory reset.

    Have copies of all the files in my hard I google drive how to reset the Toshiba to factory settings which looked simple enough, hold reset when turned on - wait for the beep and follow the instructions, unfortunately after the beep that Windows continues to load.

    It would appear that the factory reset data has been overwritten or are not applicable to win 10.

    Another Google search and the best advice that I can find is to buy Toshiba reset support, unfortunately, it seems that they only provide the media until Windows 8.1.

    I am at a loss what my next steps should be, it seems, only option is to buy a copy of win 10, but before I go down this road thought that I would ask if anyone can help?

    Thanks in advance

    Try to maintain F12 during the power up to see the boot device menu, then select "disk HARD Recovery.
    This brings you to the screen Win10 troubleshooting. Choose "Reset" or "Refresh".
