• 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.

• How to restore the computer to factory settings?

  I want to restore my computer back factory settings im tp do not know how to do that please inform me on what I do you solved the problem

  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, 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):

  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.

  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

  Hi Jason,

  Since you did a factory restore, you must get in touch with the manufacturer of the computer, for assistance in the recovery, files.

  If you use recovery or a partition of the manufacturer's recovery disks to restore the computer to factory settings, you must contact the manufacturer of this problem because the recovery process is their process - not Microsoft.  We have enough information to help you.  Each manufacturer is different.  We don't even know the manufacturer here.

  I'm sorry, we can not be more help, but you must deal with the manufacturer about this.

  Hello

  When you perform a restore, you may need to reinstall the network drivers, etc..

  As you can not access the internet on the recovery computer, use the computer that you are on to get here to do this.

  Go to the website to make your computer > Driver and Software Support Section > find your computer model number > then your operating system > locate drivers Windows 7 > download and install the desktop > copy to flash drive > transfer onto the repaired computer.

• Restore the computer to factory settings

  Hello. How to restore my Vaio (Model PCG - 71318L) computer to the factory settings. I don't want to do a system restore to a point in time. I want to restore it to factory settings.

  To reinstall windows using the advanced recovery it says I need a 'windows install disc", but the computer did not come with one. How to create a "windows install disc." How this disc is distinguished by the "system repair disc.

  If I create a "system repair disc" I'll be able to use it as a 'Windows install disc"when I reinstall windows.

  Is reinstall windows identical to restore to factory settings? If this is not the case, how it restore to factory settings?

  My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium

• I want to return the computer to factory settings.

  HP Pavilion DM4, Windows 7

  I want to return the laptop to its factory settings. The problem is that I don't remember if it came with Microsoft Office installed. It is the only program that I use all the time. I have not installed anything other than Mozilla Firefox and the antivirus, of course.

  It is extremely slow, twice I had the blue screen, I couldn't get the details, reboot it took care of that.

  I'm not good at this, I don't want to get into something, I can't handle.

  Hello

  Please check the bottom of your machine, it must have a label/sticker that displays Microsoft product (even if you can't all read). If so, there is a sticker, please continue:

  Except if you have deleted the recovery partition on your machine, your machine must have a recovery partition. Make sure all your backup files before you restore the PC/laptop to the factory settings.

  To set your PC/laptop to the factory settings, restart the PC/laptop. At HP Home screen hit F11 repeatly has reached (or the ESC key on some machines) to start the recovery process. Follow the instructions on the screen.

  Kind regards.

  Hi MartyFenwick,

  I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I will certainly help the question of fixing.

  To help you suggest several steps to solve the problem, I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:

  1. What is the brand and model of the computer?

  2. What is the brand and model of the mouse and keyboard?

  3. you receive an error code or message?

  4. is everything works well after running system restore?

  5. what exactly do you mean by "hadda restart in safe mode to use the system restore to just installing the sp1 b4?

  6. what happens when you try to play music CDs?

  7. what program you use to play the CD?

  Please follow the methods and mark the question below:

  Before you install SP1, follow the method 1 and 2.

  Method 1:

  You need to perform a clean boot to prevent any third party conflicting application from interfering with your computer.

  To put the computer in a clean boot state, you must follow the steps in the article mentioned below and check with the question.

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: You must follow step 3 of the article mentioned above to recover your computer to a Normal startup after you complete all the steps.

  Method 2:

  I suggest you disable the antivirus for temporarily until the installation of SP 1.

  Disable the antivirus software:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

  Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 3:

  Follow the steps in the link for problems with the keyboard and the mouse below.

• If I restore my computer to factory settings, I'll be able to recover all my programs?

  I am wanting to restore my VAIO laptop to factory settings, but I am concerned about losing programs that I got with the computer of the plant, including several Adobe and Microsoft Office programs. These will be reinstalled with my recovery disks, or I need to reinstall another way?

  Hello

  Yes, performing a full system recovery will erase all data on the computer and restore the computer to its factory settings. This will reinstall the pre-installed operating system, applications, and the original drivers. You can back up all important data before performing the system recovery.
