Restore Windows Vista to factory settings

Now, for a while I tried to reset my Windows Vista Setup. ERASE EVERYTHING on it. Every time I restart the computer and spam constantly F8, the debug menu appears where it has all the options. I'll choose repair your computer, but when I do, recovery appears. I do not want to restore it in time, I want to erase everything. Help, please!

Hello

You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

They should do this for a fee, if they were to have always available.

_________________________________________________

To reinstall Vista with the help of their recovery disk/s if they gave them, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

___________________________________

And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

Them or us ask the right sequence of key.

___________________________________

And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system in the event of hard disk failure.

Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

___________________________________

Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

You can borrow and use a DVD Vista Microsoft (selling retail or OEM System Builders License), which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as well as 32-bit and 64-bit editions different DVD lights.

Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A200-17O. I want to restore Windows Vista to factory settings, I did not need to backup all the files. I don't have the product recovery CD. When I press F8 and click on the "Repair" option, it will give me all the options, but when I click on the option to completely recover the system (the one on the bottom), it will simply open a window telling me to back up my data, then theres a button 'OK', and when I click that, the window will simply close and return to the menu options. All I want is to return Vista to factory settings.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello

    Yes, normally you can restore your computer laptop initial configuration using disk HARD recovery option. Therefore, you must follow the instructions here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

    If it doesn't work, you need to use the Toshiba recovery disc. If your computer laptop didn t come with such a recovery disk you create yourself using recovery preinstalled creator tool. This is mentioned in your user manual, have you checked it?

    Therefore, you need a few blank DVDs. I recommend the DVD-R from Verbatim or TDK. Many users here have a good experience with these brands.

    If you have any other questions, just after again! ;)

    the problem is that I don't find a way to restore (excluding the microsoft system restore)

    No f11 or f8 to press key on startup to start the process or at the top.

    In addition, no hp tool

    Being a refurbished pc it came with a cd to install windows if...

    Anyway my question is are at - it means more to rehabilitate the factory?

    Thank you

    Keep track of your Windows license key.

    Usually repeatedly touch the key F11 at startup you'd bring to the Recovery Manager but the fact that it is a system refurbished, it can not be there.

    The installation CD you won't have you reinstall the system?  Would probably not be factory HP restore disc but a disc than anyone else renovated the computer does.

    If you live in the USA/Canada, call HP at this number 1-800-334-5144 and see if you can still get a set of recovery disks.  Otherwise the site worldwide: http://welcome.hp.com/country/w1/en/support.html

  • Need to restore Windows 7 to factory settings. No disc and it is a machine made to order

    So no, there is not a partition already installed and I apparently failed to make a backup when I first put this machine a few years ago. Need to do a factory reset for various reasons.

    If the PC manufacturer has not prepared something when the machine was new so there is no such thing as a 'factory reset '.

    You need to reinstall everything from scratch.

  • Z220 CMT Workstation: restore the system to factory settings.

    Model: Hp Z220 CMT Workstation
    OS: Windows 7 Professional

    I'm trying to restore my computer to factory settings. I pressed ESC several times at the start to the top of the computer. Select the system restore, but the computer just hoot to Windows form. I can not connect to windows, because as some error loading windows.

    Is there another way for me to restore the system to factory with a clean Windows 7?

    > is there a way for me to get the recovery disk?

    Two ways:

    1. in Windows system work, running the same version (32-bit? 64-bit?), you can burn a disc of "recovery."

    2. find a friend with a 'detail' in the Windows 7 operating system DVD (remember this is the same 32-bit or 64-bit, your system) and borrow the DVD of him/her, or get him or her to burn a copy of it.

  • Restore your PC to factory settings

    I would like to restore my HP slimline to destop factory settings. It works on Windows 7 and got a recovery partition. I also got two additional partitions (partitions of data). My question is: if I restore the computer to factory settings will be my deleted data partitions?

    Thank you

    Yes, but you cannot use the recovery partition.

    Here's how:

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.
