Reset Windows 8.1 problem

When I try to reset my computer with windows media recovery 8.1, will erase only things in my D: drive and not on my C: drive. I don't get errors or something like that. I press reset and choose all drives, then when it finishes I connect and everything will be essentially the same, except programs have been installed in D: drive. Thanks for your help.

Hello

Reset affects only the current drive on which Windows is installed.

Hooe that answers your request :)

  • There was a problem of reset your PC - new Windows laptop, 8 problem

    Hello

    I just bought a new laptop Windows 8, but it was the demo model so I want to reset to factory settings before using it, but I keep getting the message "there was a problem of reset your PC. The refresh option works well, it is just reset that I have problems with.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you!
    I had the same problem, my new laptop dv6 HP Envy series of reset, and nothing seemed to work... I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, tried setting the registry and updates, and pretty much abandoned when I came across something that finally worked.  Your mileage may vary, as seems to be to use a HP tool, but other laptops probably have similar software.
    1. first of all, go in the menu settings of Windows 8 in the bar of charms
    2. Select "General" on the left, then select "Advanced Startup" down to restart
    3. now, after the laptop starts up to the blue options screen select "Troubleshooting" and then select 'Advanced Options', then 'settings of UEFI firmware.  Reset by selecting or refreshment of the options screen always gave me the error message and it was to square.
    4. now, I get a Start Menu ASCII with several choice of function keys, including "System Recovery", which is what I chose.
    5. now I'm prompted to my keyboard, and then I get another blue screen "Choose an option" a bit different from the one in step 3, and then select "Troubleshooting", but then "Recovery Manager", and "Windows 8".
    6. I get the recovery of HPs Manager menu, when one of the options is "Minimizes Image Recovery", which restores the operating system to a State of minimal factory.  Choose this one and wait for about 45 minutes, while the installation of HP software tool does its thing.  It seems to take a little more time to reset the system in this way does it in the usual way for a reason, but you do not get near the amount of bloatware.
    I don't quite understand why this works and is not the usual way of resetting of the operating system, but I guess that something is messed up in the registry or config file, preventing Windows 8 by using some of the Tools System.  By selecting the UEFI firmware settings, however, gives us a way to launch the system from the recovery partition tools.  I'd be curious to know if anyone else gets it works, or has any idea why it works.
    In any case, I think that it's major design flaw: the possibility of calling to zero/restore the operating system should not be heavily dependent on the OS installed, because usually people want to do that once the OS itself is messed up.  In addition, the fact that you have to plow through so many menus to find the good solution is also an indicator of poor design (this criticism applies to a large part of Windows 8).

    If you have the same problem after having disabled the extension pro Freeven then, disable graphics hardware acceleration.

    You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Then perform the following steps:

    • Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
    • In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
    • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.

  • My Windows XP has problems with shlwapi.dll

    My Windows XP has problems with shlwapi.dll and there are plenty of sites to download, but they all want money, why don't misrosoft not has an answer for this problem. When I try to update to internet explorer 6 to explore 8 then the error always pops up saying: you have a problem with shlawpi.dll and he can not continue... Very very frustrating.

    In general, it is not a good idea to download dll files.   See, for example, http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findtheproblem/qt/dll-download.htm

    If you explain more in detail what your problem is, including providing the full text of the error without paraphrase, it is likely that someone in the appropriate Microsoft Answers forum will be able to help.

    Because it seems that your problem is related to Internet Explorer, you are more likely to receive help if you post in the forum Internet Explorer, where there are already many threads dealing with issues of shlwapi.dll on IE: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/Search/Search?SearchTerm=shlwapi&CurrentScope.ForumName=ie&CurrentScope.Filter=&askingquestion=false

    And, based on this thread - with what seems to be your exact problem - also include responses to the following questions (there no answer, certainly because the OP has NOT provided to the request for information):

    1. what application or anti-virus security suite is installed and is your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

    2. do you have a free trial Norton, or a test of free McAfee [a] come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it? (No matter if you have never used or activated).

  • Windows 7 installation problem Pavilion dv6-6c45eg

    Since I have a free license for windows 7 Professional at home, I decided to install it on my new Pavilion dv6-6c45eg that came with Windows 7 Home Premium.

    The problem is that the installation process stops at the beginning and said something like: "A required CD/DVD drive driver is missing... ", then he gives me the choice to load a driver. I googled a lot since yesterday and there seems to be something related to the SATA driver, however even load the SATA driver installation is not moving forward, after loading the driver it say that no new units have been detected.

    What I tried:

    * Install Windows 7 x 32 and x 64
    * Install from a USB flash drive

    * Install Windows 8 (same problem in Windows 7)

    * Check the SATA in the BIOS (not possible to see or modify on the BIOS F.19)

    * Search for the shortcomings of HD (even changed the HD)

    I'm sure it's something related to a driver, because I also installed Linux (OpenSuse, Fedora and Ubuntu) operating systems and they work fine.
    So, I would appreciate help to solve this problem.
    Thank you very much.
