• Reference Dell Factory Image Restore will not work.

  I have a Windows Vista laptop and I got a virus so I went to the system recovery options to restore it to a factory State.  It starts, but it doesn't actually do anything, and now my computer won't even fully start.  Just, it starts and load the Dell page and then bar Windows load and then it starts the startup repair but nothing is ever able to set.

• Freeze for Dell Factory Image Restore

  Well, I'm in computer _ in recent days. 1521 Dell running Vista Home premium was unused for a while due to broken hinge. I fixed that and strives to update all Microsoft updates. And installed everything except couldn't get Vista ServicePack 1 install kept freezing during the installation. After 4 hours working with a very nice Microsoft agent by Chat and control of my pc we came to the conclusion to do an upgrade of Vista from the DVD. Well I never got the DVD with this machine! Nothing important was on the machine, so I decided to make a Dell Factory Image Restore. Well, once the restoration was launched, it seems to have frozen too. Dang! I keep you waiting for some time, but what can I do?

• Dell factory image restore?

  Hiya,

  I had problems with my laptop - it won't start, freezes after 2 minutes. I tried the system restore, boot repair, tried to start with different configurations, but it still won't start!

  Last resort I think about running a dell factory image restore from the system recovery options. I know how to do it, but I wonder if this will remove the vista OS in my laptop? I was not sent recovery discs with my laptop so if it removes vista - I'll be in a bit of a pickle!

  Thanks, any help will be very appreciated!

  :)

  A factory image makes exactly the same when you got it. So you will have
  get a new copy of Vista.

• Problems with Dell Factory Image Restore - Dell Inspiron 1564 - Windows 7 Home Premium

  Hello

  My laptop (Dell Inspiron 1564 - Windows 7 Home Premium) slowed down a few days ago and I decided to restore the system to Dell Factory Image. The process started but stopped at most of halfway and gave the following message: "unable to apply the Image. I rebooted the system, but it would now not start, not even in safe mode! Perhaps, during the process of restoring a few essential Windows files have been erased.

  I want to restore the Image of Dell and can not reinstall Windows because I lost the product key of my Windows 7 original installation DVD provided by Dell at the time of the purchase of the laptop. Your help / advice is solicited and would be much appreciated.

  Thank you.

  P.S. The system recovery Partition is intact and has factory.wim and other related directories / files intact.

  If you use the Windows 7 Home Premium DVD Dell reinstallation it will automatically apply the Dell OEM SLP activation. In short, a product key is entered from the DVD and active if and only if the BIOS is validated by Dell to perform Windows 7. Therefore, you do not have the key 25-digit number on the certificate of authenticity. If you want to know the code then look under the battery.

• Reference helps Dell factory image restore

  I'm trying to restore my laptop (studio xps 16) settings using the recovery image. If I look in my computer, I can see C and D drives. D is my recovery with 7 GB full partition out of 10 GB. It's good and dandy except when I open drive D, there is a folder that says recovery that is empty. Why is it empty when there are 7 GB of files in there? I have already hidden files shown. I don't know how else to restore my laptop. Any ideas?

  Also, I downloaded home edition of partition Wizard, and I was able to view files on the recovery partition. For some reason any this program allows me to see, so I know they are there. But, when windows Explorer regularly to look in the folder of recovery there is no files.

  its been a while that I did it, but I will try as much as possible...

  -try to put in your drive installation and startup disk.
  -in the menu it will say install now, but at the bottom it will say fix your computer (click here)... .it should look like this
  http://img.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/Vista-repair-options/Setup-option.jpg
  then the menu should look like this: http://images.pcworld.com/howto/graphics/136677-2511_recover-10b.gif
  -The command line option-click and you're ready to type a few things.
  -Make sure you have everything backed up on the disk you want to format.
  -type diskpart in the invitation of commpand and wait for it to load
  -When you can type again, type: list disk
  -type: select disk n , where n is the number of the player you want in the list before
  -now type: list partition and find the number of the partition to format
  -type: select partition n , where n is the number of the partition of the last step
  -now type: format partition n to erase all data from the partition
  This should be it for formatting the drive, now type in the command line to restore your stuff
  now, if your image is on the site of dell at the factory (d) recovery, then...
  type this: imagex/apply d:\dell\image\factory.wim 1 c:\
  
  
  He should take some time to format and restore, so please be patient
  When her if everything is done, it is not the type of output, just type exit until the command prompt window disappeared.
  you will then be back in the recovery menu, you can restart your pc (make sure that you change the boot option back to hardrive instead of "boot disk")
  and you should be done.

• I went back to Dell Factory Image, which came did not restart/Inspiron 2205

  I went to Dell Factory Image recovery came with the DELL logo symbol, and goes back to Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart on a 2205 Inspiroon.   I missed something? Nothing else comes up on computer...

  Hi John,.

  Sorry for the inconvenience.

  The Dell backup and restore solution is designed to provide a simple and effective way to recover from a failure of a software, or simply refresh the original operating system to the Dell factory image before the redeployment.
  To aid recovery utility and backup Dell is the fastest way to restore your computer to the Dell factory image as a re - install manual operating system (IMRT) takes longer to complete and requires additional steps.

  In addition to the reinstallation of Windows, a manual IMRT requires installation of each of the drivers of the device independently and then separately also of software. The Dell Backup and Recovery Utility creates an image of the installed operating system settings, drivers, software and system, when the user creates a backup.

• Error code #0xe0f00013, using the factory image restore

  Hello world

  I've had this laptop for about 8 months. The model is HP PAVILION DV6T-4000 NOTEBOOK of NOTES,

  I'm a software developer, so I need to install Linux on this machine using dual boot.

  I created the recovery disks before installing linux.

  Once I installed linux, windows 7 has stopped working and started asking for the disc of windows 7. Using recovery discs, couldn't find an option to restore the old installation of windows 7 (these options are disabled). Other options of formatting HD and restore out-of-factory State were available. In the end, I had to select restore factory image.

  When I boot the recovery dvd and do a system restore it support all 5 discs and the 6th disc when it is 83% and is "copy files needed to restore the hard disk" it throws below error:

  "Recovery Manager is unable to restore your computer by using the original image.  Please contact HP support.  "Error code: 0xe0f00013.

  I tried to restore it 3 - 4 times, each time that the result would be the same.

  I ran HD self-test, which doesn't show any problem with my HD recovery, I created discs are cool and have no scratches. I'm not sure what the cause of this problem.

  All this raises questions under:

  (1) what is the hexadecimal code "0xe0f00013?"

  (2) once we buy a "personal" NOTEBOOK, should we not be free to install any operating according to our need?

  3) why HP does not provide with a Windows disc, and why should we depend on recovery disks, or the recovery partition; These unreliable mechanisms?

  Earlier, I had a Dell laptop that provided me with all the windows and recovery disks.

  I bought HP recovery discs. lets see if provided HP recovery disks.

  If anyone has any other work around, please help.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  There may be a work-around if you have (or can borrow) an installation disc Windows 7 at retail which is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, it comes to the retail version accurate, you would need.

  If you do not access to the retail drives, you can create an installation disk yourself - just download good picture disc from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD.

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/Download-Windows-7-ISO-official-32-bit-and-64-bit-direct-download-link...

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key located on the underside of your laptop when asked and once installation is complete, use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this 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.

• Reference Dell backup and restore (Premium Edition) 1.7.5.63

  Since upgrading my software Dell backup and restore to version 1.7.5.63, I now have problems to make it past the "Dell backup and recovery Please Wait" screen.

  I'm not leaving this option to run for more than 8 hours, but found that this process is not always successful. The only way I could find to block this process to run is to click on the? at the top right of the screen, then select "activity log". At this time, I clicked on the home button to take back me to the Dell Backup and Recovery Premium Edition home page and close the application. However, when I tried to re - open the application again, it brings back me to the screen "Dell backup and recovery Please Wait".

  To solve this problem, I tried to restore from a previous backup I made of the Dell Backup and Recovery application but it failed miserably and corrupted my hard drive and operating system (Windows 8.1). So the only way I could get back to who had to go back to my backup bootable disks that I created when I arrived to my laptop Dell Latitude E6530.

  Then I had re-installed all the 100 + updates of Windows for upgrade to Windows Pro 8.1 by the Windows store. From there, I upgraded my software "Dell backup and restore (Premium Edition)" at 1.7.5.63 and had the same problem again.

  In any case to have a fix for this or tell me how I can raise an incident with Dell, because this is so ignorant and frustrating.

  If I uninstall my Dell Backup and recovery software (Premium Edition) and reinstall the version found in http://www.dellbackupandrecovery.com/en-us/Index.html , but the last time I did, it installed the basic edition and not the Premium edition.

  All right enough the last time I had problems with my Dell backup and recovery (Premium Edition) software, it seems to settle on the other updated after a few months, but I don't don't want really to go back to an earlier backup with an older version of the recovery (Premium Edition) software and backup Dell.

  Any help or advice, you would be extremely grateful.

  I'm shocked that Dell is detrimental to Windows backup in Windows 7 Professional.  Your comments here persuade me not to pay for the premium edition.  Various people on other internet research said Dell had a great program backup, 6 months ago, but weakened while it is able to sell a version Premium, also hobble the program backup Windows.  You might try a free backup software like Comodo as I suspect that you can not use the Windows backup which makes a backup with files image.  It was a very simple approach that Dell seems to have stuck in their new versions of Windows 7 Professional.  I restarted my computer because of this kind of game.  Since I bought it at Costco, I have 90 days to return it.  I also started watching a series of online backups.  Carbonite seems terribly clutter my computer, and while highly recommended, it is slow, slow, slow.  I am CrashPlan that seems to work much much much faster.  Both of these are paid services.  CrashPlan has a lot of versatility to accommodate beginners to evolve into something much more powerful.  They have free versions for recording to hard drives and other computers.  The online version has Unlimited storage, much versatility, without the limits other plans have, and it's only 4-6 dollars per month, depending on the current sales and payment terms.

• Reference Dell backup and restore is unable to create a DVD of recovery on Windows 8

  Dear Dell,

  I am creating recovery discs "Dell backup and Recovery application" but when I was asked to insert the second DVD, the optical drive keeps rejecting DVD. The application will not continue to burn the second DVD and seems to be frozen. I tyied with different DVD brands/manufacturers and also-/ + r unfortunately. The question remains. I could find this 593906 article published 21-01 - 2013 (http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/kcs/document?c=us&cs=19&docid=593906&doclang=en&l=en&s=dhs link). Although I did the updates, I'm still not able to create recovery discs!   File: after having inserted the Disc 3 application gives the message "Dbr.exe-" not found disk and stays there and rejects the DVD.  I spoke with the Greek team of Dell. I was told that warranty does not cover the support of sw even if my unit is less than a week. Furthermore, I learned that although "Dell backup and restore" application said THAT DELL is not actually a Dell product so they can't support. They my proposed to use the recovery of files from windows 7 place (which needs at least 8 DVD!). As you can understand it's a workaround and not a Solution.

  I hope that someone from Dell will consider the issue and to come back with a precise answer and a permanent solution.   (Model: inspiron 15 3521). Thank you

  Is there another way to update the application?

• Reference Dell backup and restore ends in error

  I just bought and set up a 3847 Inspiron with Windows 8.1 and I tried to create the backup of the plant and the DVD of restoration but the regime ended with a mistake twice.    It seems to happen at the end (ie. left 2 seconds) and then gives me an error indication.  It seems that he should try to check the DVD but it never does at this stage.  Does anyone know what gives?  The whole DVD is bad?

  In the case of only 1 system and no upgrade to the Premium edition, they are equivalent. The hot spare requires an external hard drive and backup of the plant requires a USB flash drive. I have not tried an SD card for a backup of the plant just a bootable USB for the backup of the plant.

  The hot spare is even as backup from the factory to the exception, you can use 1 external drive to factory settings for up to 10 systems Dell... If you use the Premium edition, you can get more advanced features like a custom backup and can set it to backup continuous data.
