Restore factory settings

I want to restore my laptop to original settings. My laptop does not start the operating system. It restarts only to the point where I see the 'Vaio' logo

I can press F10 to use Recovery Wizard. But I don't have the recovery CD.

I wanted to know, can I still use F10 to restore my laptop to factory without these CD manufacturing settings. I really don't care about data on my laptop, if it erases everything that I want to just restore factory settings

Hello

Thank you for your message. VAIO computers come with recovery software, present in a hidden partition and you can perform system recovery using the 'F10' key

Restart the computer, keep tapping F10 key, press button to start editing option, Recovery Wizard select start and click on ignore VAIO Care rescue (if you do not want to back up data) to start the system recovery process.

    I don't know what else to do?

    Hi Carolina,.

    When you say 'Restore factory settings', do you mean that you want to restore your A30 to its original condition, with original OEM software installation etc. That you could do it using the recovery CD, but this will remove one of your own data and software as well as raw product updates that you can download.

    Is it just that you have a problem with your system that may be corrected, rather than do a full restore?

  • Satellite L350 - restore factory settings

    Hello

    I have a L350 and have had problems with my keyboard, my laptop keep thinking that the control key is stuck. I found that when this happens my keyboard stops working properly, but if go into control panel--> change keyboard and just click on all (not to change anything just open & then close) it seems ok again for a while. I want to restore factory settings, but when I shut down or restart my keyboard no longer works, so I can't press the keys or value to boot from the disc. I tried to plug in a USB keyboard, but it's the same leading me to believe it's a software problem not hardware.

    Back, someone knows what can do to solve this problem?

    How to restore your computer settings certainly depend on what brand of computer you use. You must contact the manufacturer or your computer's manual should give you guidance on how to use your disks restore provided with your computer or the hidden partition.

    Please note that means restoring the computer to the factory settings, restore the computer to the State that you have first obtained it in. You would lose your programs that you have installed, your data, etc etc. It would be like a new installation.

    Consider other options first.

  • NB200-10Z - how to restore factory settings?

    Hello

    I seem to have a pretty annoying problem with the NB200 - 10Z.
    The operating system is WinXP SP3.

    I was looking to restore it to its factory settings by using the tools of Toshiba, pressing F8 during the boot sequence, this however does not take me to a screen where I can choose 'Repair' as online guide of Toshiba said.
    My only options were by selecting start normally, or start in safe mode, safe mode with network and so on. I have consulted the original manual included with the laptop, but that doesn't make the light on the problem, in fact I found the manual to be pretty empty.
    There isn't any help on formats, restore to factory or other maintenance. Disappointing.

    Another option is creating a recovery disk, however, Toshiba tool will only advise that it cannot find all the stations that contain writable media, simply because the NB200-10Z is not a CD/DVD/BD drive. The only available ports are SD and USB.

    So my question is, how do I format/reset to factory settings the NB200-10Z without external CD/DVD/readers writers, using the USB/SD slots? Because I can't find a way to create an ISO recovery with the Toshiba tool, which I was able to get on a bootable USB device.
    And even if there is a way to do it, how do I adjust the NB200 to boot from USB? Looking at the bios settings and boot options, showed that only the LAN and HARD drive are supported.

    Greetings,

    Boris

    Hi Boris,.

    Usually, if you start media recovery disk creator, you can choose on which device (CD/DVD or USB) the recovery media must be created. There you should be able to change between the CD/DVD drive and USB. If you select USB you can create the recovery on a USB media.
    You can boot from that disk if you connect before you start the computer, then go to the start of the BIOS (F12) menu and then you can select the USB key.

    According to the manual of the drive recovery HARD can be started while pressing the value 0 (zero) key before Windows starts.

  • Satellite 2450-210: how to restore factory settings?

    I have a satellite 2450-210 I want to restore settings (wipe hd etc.) for my daughter to use.

    Can someone give me details on how to do it

    thanx

    Do you have a recovery CD?
    This disc is necessary if you want to restore the laptop back to factory settings.

    If you n t have this disc then you will need to use a clean Microsoft Windows CD (Win XP would be the best) for the installation of the OS.

    Toshiba drivers can be downloaded from the European driver Toshiba page
    Because this device is an oldie, the drivers have been moved to the archives (in the product type click on archive).

  • Flag 23: Restore factory settings

    This unit came with Windows 8, later I upgraded Windows 10.  If I restore it to factory settings it will stay with Windows 8 or 10 of Windows?

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    To answer your question, a factory reset restores the PC to its ORIGINAL operating system because it's what is recorded in the recovery on the PC partition when it is first created.

    However, try to do it now using HP Recovery Manager is almost certainly NOT going to work - because the upgrade of Win10 is known to corrupt information HP recovery: HP Recovery Manager blocked after Windows 10 Upgrade - HP Support Forum's - 5170752

    To do a factory reset NOW, you will need to order recovery HP media.

    It is a set of DVD and a CD or a USB key, which will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP. In some cases, you will be able to order a USB instead of discs.  You must order at HP; they cannot be downloaded.

    You can look online for recovery from the paged media related: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers

    Once there, enter your product name or number. On your software page and download the drivers, select your operating system and version. Click on "Update".  If the HP recovery support is available for your computer, down near the bottom of the page, you will see an entry for the command Recovery Media-CD/DVD/USB. Click on the symbol '+' to expand this entry and click on order to press for more details.

    Or, if you prefer, you can do the same by contacting HP Customer Service:

    If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1

    If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html

    NOTE: once you get through, stay on the line until you are finally able to talk to someone ' one - it can take a while!
    ---------------------------------------
    However, HP customer care is generally not available on weekends, so you will have to wait until Monday to contact them.

    If HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you can check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

  • Satellite L655 - 14 d - how to restore factory settings?

    Hello, I'm Ali.

    I have the Toshiba Satellite L655 - 14 d. I have format my laptop and repartition the HARD disk and reinstall Windows 7 from disc and I already save folder HDDrecovery...
    Now, how can I restore my laptop to factory settings?

    I hope to hear the solutions...
    Thank you
    ALI ADEL

    Hi Ali,

    To clarify some things: you reinstall Windows 7 recovery disk Toshiba or Microsoft Windows disk?
    If you have used the Toshiba Recovery disk, follow the instructions posted by Akuma. You can use the HDDrecovery feature to restore your laptop to factory settings.

    If you have used the Microsoft disk you need recovery disk from Toshiba. HDDrecovery is a Toshiba feature and cannot be used with the operating system preinstalled. That is why it s not enough that you have already saved the folder HDDrecovery, it will not work!

    If you don t have a recovery disc, you can order it here:

  • Satellite L300D 242 how to restore factory settings

    My sister has a Toshiba Satellite L300D 242, and she is very unhappy with her because she seems to have more than enough problems.

    The problems, that she told me about all seem more like general maintenance would have prevented them, but I offered to files his laptop to its original specifications and she's happy with it.

    I'm a bit irritating to play with things for the first time, however, and that's because I've never reformatted a before Toshiba and I worry in case there might be an unexpected stumbling block that I'd better know.

    I have restored my Acer several times and it's been no problem, no problem at all. Is a Toshiba Satellite L300D 242 restoration as simple?

    Can someone tell me the procedure I should follow to restore L300D 242 sister, please? I don't know if she restore disks, in case anyone asks, I have him asked and I'm waiting for a response.

    Thank you very much.

    Hi waynum,

    If the original OS from Toshiba is installed you can restore the factory settings as described HARD drive recovery option here and in * user manual *:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

    > I don't know if she has any restore disks
    Normally the laptop come without recovery disks, but you can create them yourself using preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. Just start this preinstalled Toshiba tool and follow the instructions on the screen to create the recovery disks.

  • Re: Satellite L500-128 - how to restore factory settings?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L500-128. A couple of months, I installed the upgrade to windows 7. Now, I want to clean my computer laptop everything. I want to restore the factory settings, but I have no idea how to do that. Does anyone has an idea how to solve this problem?

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    What do you want exactly?

    Normally it is easy to restore the factory settings. You need only the Toshiba Recovery disk you created, I think. Therefore, enter the disk and start it. The Setup menu will be loaded and you can follow the instructions on the screen. Factory settings will be restored with all the drivers and tools.

    Also, don't forget to backup your data. Everything on the HARD drive will be erased.

  • Satellite A500 - how to restore factory settings?

    Hello

    I had software problems with my A500. I made the recovery disc. I tried to find a way to use these but can't find it in the manual that I downloaded.

    Am I just thinking I have the boot disk 1 in the drive of the computer lights up continuously by pressing F12 while it is booting and then select start from the DVD drive? Then, I guess it will give the steps online about how the process is done for resume to factory settings.

    Thanks Zari

    Hello

    You are good friend. First, you will need to insert the disc 1 into your CD/DVD drive. Then, restart the computer and go into the boot menu by pressing F12. Select your CD/DVD drive and the computer will boot from this drive. After that, follow the instructions on the screen, factory settings will be restored in a few minutes. During installation, we need to change the drive, I think, but the computer will give you information on this subject.

    Don t forget that Toshiba Recovery disk erases the entire HARD disk. This means you must make a backup of all important files. Therefore, you can use an external HARD drive or you burn on DVD s.

    Good bye

  • Re: Satellite L675 - restore factory settings?

    I was doing the initial installation, when we had a power cut (Finally, UPS has failed the self-test) - installation does not seem if completed correctly, so I tried to repair/installation.

    However, all my googling etc only led me to notice: power on, press F8, choose "Repair computer". Well, I don't have the option "Repair computer". Instead, I thought I could restore to the factory settings and start over.

    How can I restore to factory settings?

    Hey Buddy,

    The advanced boot options you have if n t see you fix my computer? Usually this option is still available, and the exact recovery process is described here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

    If it doesn't work your only option is the Toshiba recovery disc but I doubt that you have if you did the initial installation, because the recovery disc can be created after the installation of successful recovery.

    Your only chance would order a disk recovery here:
