  # Turn on your laptop, press F12 to get into the boot menu
  # When the start menu is displayed on the screen put the recovery DVD in the optical disc drive
  # In the start menu, choose the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER. This will force ODD to run as first boot device.
  # Follow the menu on the screen.

  When you see option for recovery just language confirm with NEXT and continue the installation of recovery.

  Partitioning the hard drive usually breaks the recovery feature, changing the drive letters and/or usually convert the hard disk from basic to dynamic disk.

  Try EaseUS Partition Manager to get rid of the additional partitions and convert dynamic back to base:

  Bloo,

  I finally got the correct disks. I was sent a total of 5 sets of CD. All were for the A700 except the last game.

  I had pretty well given the fact that I was going to send the unit to the factory to restore. They actually sent me a box to ship it in. Fortunately, before I packed it upward, I got quite unexpected package. Voila! It was the right set of discs and now my system runs like a champ.

  Thanks for your help on this Bloo.

• The difficulty to restore my laptop to factory setting.

  I came home one day to find that there was a virus on my HP Pavilion Dv7 - 4009tx Enterainment Notebook PC and since I had important things backed up on my external hard drive I have much better just to restore my laptop back to factory settings, I find the best way to get rid of problems like this. (they rarely anyway).

  So I turned off my phone and then launch it and press F11, the window with three boxes popped up, I already knew what to do but the ability to set my laptop to factory settings was not in the first box where it should be, thinking that I made a mistake I looked on the internet and it said : this is how you do it. Confused out of my mind as to where the option went I tried the three other options available in the "I need help immediately" box and however the laptop has restored back to factory settings, but not completely, programs and software initially provided with the laptop were no where.

  I tired the other method to restore using the Restore Manager, option restore my laptop to factory setting was there to my greatest joy and I clicked it expecting it to be restored, but rather after the restart he come to a window with the restoration of the system and repair the start and a few other options.

  I'm really lost to restore my laptop to its factory originally settings as I had done a few times before. Nobody knows what is happening or what I'm doing wrong. My laptop runs only two years soon which means that it is not that old to have this kind of weird problems and I really need my laptop to do my uni work, I need to fix as soon as I can.

  Hello

  Virus problem has probably corrupted the partition on the computer. In this case, you will be unable to perform a factory reset of the recovery partition.

  You will need to perform a recovery using the HP recovery discs. If you have not created any recovery media after the purchase, you can order online them or directly call the technical assistance for the embedded discs out to you. This operation brings the computer to factory again.

  Here is the link to order online:

  I have an IBM thinkpad with win XP. I restored it back to factory setting. But I couldn't use the mouse more.

  spike88,
  If it's a brand mouse, you may need to consult the manufacturer for all drivers that may be required.  If it's a USB mouse then try another port.  You can also update Windows, and then test the mouse.  Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

• Is there a way to restore the system to factory setting

  Original title: Reinstalling windows

  I would like to restore or reinstall the system on my computer because my computer appears to be infected with the virus and there are a lot of problem with the system as impossible to install net framework. I have never create any point before restoration, and the recovery of the manufacturing company (Acer) tool does not work for reasons unknown. I would like to know if there is a way to restore the system to factory setting. And also, if I have the windows 7 key product that comes with this computer (I think that its probably an OEM product key), what I have to buy a new key of product if I reinstall windows 7 on this computer?

  Thank you for your reply,

  However, I tried with the Acer eRecovery Management and there are two problems:

  • I open Acer eRecovery than Management with System Manager. When I click on restore or create Factory default disc, it says please wait and there is an infinite loading.
  • Also, when I use Alt + F10 to open, it says please complete operating system configuration process.

  Scores of recovery and/or access to them can get damaged.

  As the partition recovery is photographed on the hard drive by Acer in the manufacture of your machine, we have nothing to do with changing/fixing this recovery process once there are problems with it.

  As you have a preinstalled OEM license (Acer, Dell, HP, etc.), contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they need to provide for a fee.

  Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

  But Acer does not normally keep recovery disks for you to buy for older operating systems, so it comes down to borrow the exact same edition of Windows 7 DVD to a friend, etc. and by using the product key on the COA sticker on your machine.

  This is what looks like a sticker of COS:
