• Questions of Compaq Presario CQ60 with restore settings factory, sticked on a blue screen (BSOD, no)

  Hello, I have to get my usual laptop fixed, so I decided to get out of my Presario CQ60, which I have not used in 4-5 years. The operating system is Windows Vista Basic and I want to perform a restore factory settings (I don't mind losing the data on it) and upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. So far I tried to do a restore to factory settings by pressing F11 several times to start, and I get to a screen that says "Windows loading files", which leads to a black screen. After what seems like a long time, a blue screen appears where I have control of my cursor (not the Blue Screen of Death) and nothing has changed since. I will update with any changes, because things seem to happen after letting it go for a while, but for now any suggestions on what to do? Let me know if I've left out any information. Thank you!

  Hello

  We can not help you with this problem of factory settings.

  Press F11 at STARTUP is the method that HP plans to use.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&LC=en&DLC=en&docName=c00809678#n405

  1. Turn off the computer if it is not already turned off.
  2. Disconnect any external devices such as printers, USB drives and memory cards.
  3. Turn on the computer and immediately press the F11 key several times , about once a second, until the Recovery Manager opens.
  4. In the Recovery Manager welcome screen, click Next .
  5. On the Microsoft System Restore screen, select No , and then click Next .
  6. On the System Recovery screen, select Yes , and then click Next to continue the recovery process.

  etc.

  And that is the recovery Partition and the process which they installed during the manufacturing process, not Microsoft HP

  You will need to contact HP or ask questions in the forums to Support HP about this problem.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  And I don't think that it will be suitable for the upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium as being Vista Basic, the material it will not suitable or sufficient to run Windows 7 properly and I have no idea if HP even wrote Windows 7 drivers for it.

  Before you buy Windows 7 after Vista fixed:

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

• R & R - no option to restore to factory settings (T420)

  Nice day

  I got ThinkPad T420i for 3.5 years.

  Recently, my hard drive is damaged and I have problem with restoring my ThinkPad to the factory settings.

  3 years ago, I created a recovery media: recovery and rescue and three DVD boot disk. Now, when I try to restore using the boot disk I have no recovery option factory or restore the factory settings. It was the only backup restore and when I chose the CD/DVD I got 'Please insert the disk labeled C Final'. I inserted the last of my three DVD and I still had the same message...

  .. Thus, by using another hdd with Windows 7 costs I have prepared new boot CD in Rescue and Recovery 4.52. When I boot my THinkPad to boot the new CD, I can see the factory recovery but I can't yet to recover my system.

  Please help me, how can I restore Windows7?

  I use the new hard disk.

  Standalone RNR has been loaded from somewhere Standalone RNR CAN NOT do a cover of a DVD set of recovery plant.

  Have you changed the BIOS to set the as 1st boot device dvd burner? (- or - change the boot sequence).

  Did you by chance hit PF11 at boot time? and make it appear autonomous RNR on the new HARD drive or old HDD?

  Swapping hdd and SSD will not help the situation. First goal is to start the RECOVERY system with its own set of panels. The recovery system will show issues? Resumption of the plant? Your HARD drive will be erased, etc, before you will be asked to load the data DVD 1.

  If you can rerun your test, and autonomous RNR charge up, click on the? at the top right of the screen.  Select 'about' and what version of standalone RNR has loaded.  If it is the rnr 5.2, you started from the wrong device.

  See if you can locate a Recovery DVD standalone boot 3 years ago. The start of recovery screen differs from independently RNR. Is it possbile 3 years ago, that you have also created a Rescue CD/dvd?

  Perhaps another user T420, with a series of factory recovery DVDs, can tell us what the directory on the boot Recovery DVD should look like.  My OLD vista recovery DVDs directory looks like your startup with an additional record of RECOVERY DVD. Again, I think that standalone RNR will NOT restore a RECOVERY dvd set.  Lenovo has changed the stuff of recovery over the years.  A restored T420 factory user using a recovery DVD set can give the best advice.

• the last IOS installation froze my iphone 6 and iTunes says that it needs to be restored to factory settings.

  Install the last IOS froze my iphone 6. iTunes shows it must have installed at the factory. How can I back up all my data?

  You will get the option to "update" only when force you it into recovery mode. you might get lucky. If you cannot update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  If she needs a complete restoration to factory settings then get what you can from iCloud and all other internet accounts that you use.

  Synchronize what you can save on your computer also.

  You can re - download apps etc for free, but if you do not have a return to the top, then you can only look at the expensive data recovery options

  If you do not have to restore as new then make sure to run iCloud back ups or regularly back up on iTunes before you do updates in the future.

• I can well picked up a carrier locked iPhone 5 that has been restored to factory settings?

  Hello

  I hope to trade in my old iPhone 5 (I currently use a 5s) either finance or credit of the store to an iPhone SE.

  However, the situation with my iPhone 5 is complicated.

  • It was bought by my father's business (I used to work there).
  • It is carrier locked to Vodafone (UK network), but I currently reside in Chicago.
  • When I got my 5s I'm from carrier, but kept my old number - so I did not have a Vodafone SIM.
  • My brother used my 5 for awhile. He gave me back restored to factory settings.
  • I can not set up because I do not have a Vodafone SIM.

  In these circumstances, may I take it to an Apple Store to trade it?

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  Yes - not sure how much you can get for it

  But if you can prove that you are the legal owner of the phone (as opposed to the Affairs of your dad) so you should be clear

  You also mention that your brother has used - which was on Vodafone

• Qosmio G20 - restore settings factory

  Hello

  Basically I have a Qosmio G20 and here is a brief history of the problem: -.

  (1) Started to get a cooling system warning, after some time the computer turns off.
  (2) stupidly, I ignored the warning system cooling and after a few weeks the computer would start is no longer.
  (3) computer is out of warranty so it took PC World UK for diagnosis.
  (4) PC World says have found 7 viruses (which they said they removed) and said there may be a hardware failure, but they couldn't be certain until they had restored the factory settings for the computer to work properly.

  The problem with restoring the factory settings, this is even though I know that the hard drive is not actually deleted, I'm worried that he would make a few programs and inaccessible files.

  All I want to do is start the Qosmio once while I can:-

  (A) launch Mozilla Firefox and export all my favorites so that I can then load into my new laptop
  (B) export all my Outlook Express emails and loading them in the new laptop.

  With (A) above, I think the only way I can get bookmarks from Mozilla is to launch the program and then use the export option, it doesn't seem to be a way I can just scan hard drives for bookmarks setting the file and back to the top. And as for B), I did a scan of the hard drive and I found the 'dbx' Outlook Express files but when I imported in the new laptop there are a considerable number of missing emails.

  So my questions are:-

  (1) if I restore to factory settings, does this mean that Firefox and Outlook Express would more appear in my programs?
  (2) if not, can start the computer using a Windows CD, and then launch Firefox and Outlook Express directly from the hard drive?
  (3) or, if I plug the hard drive on another computer, you know the exact files (and places) so that I can get all my emails and settings of Firefox?

  Any advice would be appreciated!

  (> A) launch Mozilla Firefox and export all my favorites so that I can then load into my new laptop

  This isn't really a problem. Bookmarks could be saved on external USB flash.
  You can find the bookmarks in your profile in
  c:\Documents and Settings\ [your user name] \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  There should be a folder called bookmarkbackups.
  You will find the latest bookmarks from html files.

  Here you can find the FAQ about Firefox. Check * better

  (> B) export all my Outlook Express emails and loading them in the new laptop.
  You can save the mails too.

• HP Envy h8 1409: just restored to factory default and now windows 8 is not activate! Help, please!

  Recently, my PC started a little all around to have massive problems that I don't mind going into details, but I decided that after 2-3 years to possess, I would restore it factory default. It hurts but it would be a good idea, because I knew that windows are installed on it and apparently, this model is supposed to just reinstall without any problem...

  I have no idea what the hell happened, but now he has not activated windows. I know that the product key, and when I get it, it says "your product keys works! Continue when you're ready', then when he starts to deal with it, I get the error "the following error occurred while trying to use the product key:

  Code:

  0xC004F01F

  Description:

  The software licensing service determined that the license is not valid. »

  So seriously, what the hell am I supposed to do? Please help me

  Hello

  If the original HP recovery partition is intact then you should be able to create the recovery media.

  Before attempting to improve once again, use a hard drive of commerical known reliable product imaging in the image of your hard drive to external media.  This will save you a lot of time and effort, if you never experience questions requiring to return to a fresh factory restore and then have to go through the whole update process again. The image will also save you if your hard drive fails.  If the HP recovery media is the plain W8 then take the shot.  Then after all the updates are applied and your with set success to date to W8.1 and then take another picture.

  Thanks for posting on the forum.

  Restoring to factory settings formats the disc, and which erases
  everything what he. You probably get something new, but you can
  try to do a search on the web for a recovery program that unformats the reader
  like here: http://www.easeus.com/resource/unformat.htm

  If you unformat the drive successfully and can recover lost files
  back, the first thing you should do copy on an external
  (CD, DVD, USB sticks, external hard drives, etc.).
  Two other points/questions:

  1. why restore you to the factory settings? This is usually the worst
  approach to solve a problem, there's a lot of extra long hard
  work and often leads to problems of its own (as it did here).

  2. I assume you have no backup on external media from your
  photos of important files etc. In this case. you played with
  the fire. You can read this article on the backup that I wrote:

• Cannot restore the factory settings on Pavilion dm3

  After the use of the laptop for about two years now and accumulated quite a waste, I tried to do a restore to factory setting.  When I bought it, I also bought two recovery system DVD - never used or tried before.

  Fact by following the instructions; Insert the first disc (later tried both without success) in the external optical drive, which recognized the drive but do nothing outside to show me the content.  It there is no setup.exe and the disc is no not no matter what autorun.

  The computer works fine, just a bit slow, especially when you turn it on, so I don't want to plant it, but I don't want to clean it up.

  Would appreciate any advice,

  Thank you

  Hello:

  You do not have the Windows Recovery discs.

  You must boot from the first floppy and follow the instructions on the screen.

  The best way to do that is to insert disk 1 into the DVD drive, reboot the laptop.

  At the beginning of the HP welcome screen, press the F9 key to start the start time menu.

  Select the DVD drive, and then press the Enter key.

  The PC should then attempt to boot from the DVD.  A message may appear on the screen that says basically «try to boot from DVD...» Press any key to boot from the DVD... »

  Press a button and the PC should then read the DVD, and you can follow the instructions on the screen.

  After the PC is done with disc 1, it will be ejected and invites you to remove disk 1 and insert disk 2.

  Based on the key F9 does not launch the only time where Start menu, and then press the ESC key and then select the options menu start.

  THANKS A MILLION!  Worked perfectly and absolutely right.  I didn't know the F9 option.
