  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• I want to reset my computer to its factory settings

  I want to reset my computer to factory settings, wiping it completely clean., I downloaded vista service pack 2 when it came out, so I do not have the disc. I have the original disc, but it says I need service Pack2, how do I restore the factory settings without the disc it asks? I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with service pack 2 downloaded.

  Hello

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

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

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, 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 change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "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 Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased 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.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  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.

  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 also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, 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 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  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.

• Reset factory settings but the recovery disc is not recognized

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6-3030sd laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium installed OA.

  I want to restore it to factory settings, but is not possible using Recovery Manager, because he does not see my recovery Partition.

  Since I have recovery discs, I tried to restore my factory settings using the recovery discs.

  However, it is also not possible. Even after setting my BIOS (boot order first DVD player) the laptop not start using the DVD player.

  Then performed several actions (eventally I still adjusted registry) as mentioned by microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060/en-us?

  Still not possible to start using a DVD player.

  It goes the same for USB.

  I can use my DVD player and USB but I can't boot from them.

  How do I restore my laptop to factory settings?

  I still have my product key and I was able to record an English version of Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 as an image on a DVD.

  What can I do?

  Is it possible to mount it on my virtual DVD drive (BD - ROM drive) (so the picture of windows 7 in the virtual DVD drive and then install it?)

  I hope that there is someone out there who is able to help me!

  Hello

  Sometimes just set the boot priority in the bios menu does not work as it should.

  Try the following.

  Insert your 1st recovery disk, and then click stop the laptop.

  Now on TAP the ESC key as soon as you start the launch of the laptop Boot Menu.

  Select boot options ( f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.  You can also get a prompt to "Press any key to" continuous - it if requested.

• Advantages and disadvantages need to restore my computer to its factory settings

  HP Pavillion Model a4310f with AMD Athlon II X 2 250 clocked (3 GHz) Win 7 64 bit Home Premium with 4 GB of RAM.  My C: Drive has free 495 GB of 585 GB.  I have a boot disk more system recovery DVDs all created when the system has been started.  I use Trend Micro Internet Security virus and spyware protection.

  Why restore?  Overall, the answer is wrong.  Installed programs take 15-20 seconds to start.  The Internet response is all too slow.  No significant improvement if I stop of Trend Micro.  I see more thumbnails of photos - just file names.  For always takes to spool a file to the printer (HP Deskjet F4280 all-in-One) and half the time the printer will not align when new cartridges are installed. I don't think I have too many installed programs, but there are a few that I would Setup not again.

  I had my Internet provider out there and everything checks out there - they deliver what I pay for (20 Mbit/s download and 1.30 MB/s upload).

  I better leave all as is or go back and re - install only the programs that I use regularly?

  Mitch

  Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion a4310f. According to the specifications, the computer is more than three years old. As time passes, a Windows installation can get cluttered with a messy registry, fragmented system of orphan files and folders/files.

  In my opinion, these elements can cause the problems you are experiencing. The pros to recover the computer to a factory State, is that the performance must be returned to love the day you set up your computer. The disadvantages include having to re-install your programs, many drivers and software updates, who need back up and restore your files and personal data, etc.. Once again, in my opinion, it would be worth the effort to recover the computer to a factory State. This should cure most, if not all of your problems.

• I want to put my computer back to factory settings, but I have things in my documents folder I want ot put everything on a single cd of suggestions

  I don't want to put each individual on separate cd I want that all my document files to be on one cd any idea

  As long as the 'things' are files, such as documents, images, music or other data, it is not a problem.  You cannot save most 'programmes' (for example, Microsoft Word) like this.

  You can put as many files (for example, * .doc, *.mp3) on a CD as will fit.  A CD - R 'in writing' normal holds about 700 MB.

• removed from my drive hard to the factory settings but saved the FF record I can / how can I import bookmarks?

  due to a virus or something that I had to wipe my computer to its factory settings, but before I did, I made a copy of the FF in my programs. is it possible to import my favorites folder? and how would I do it?

  If you have saved the Firefox installation directory (default location C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) you lost your bookmarks.

  Bookmarks and other data from the user are stored in the profile folder, on Windows XP, it is normally located inside this folder - C:\Documents and Settings\ < Windows user/login name > \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

  If you saved the profile folder, you can use the process in the article of the recovery of data from an old profile to copy the files to your current profile folder.

  I got VPCJ113fx/b for 2.5 years.  A year ago, the door of the external drive has failed and I got a new drive (non-usine) installed.  The computer has recently developed unrelated problems (Control Panel can not 'see' two installs of IE, Windows Update runs isn't more and others).  I would like to recover the original Windows settings.  I've got Carbonite data files are no problem.  The process of rescue/restore the control panel still works even if the current D drive is out of sync with the news of factory stored on the computer?  (If I have an emergency disk, I created when the machine was new or I would try to create a set of disks I could create now.)  I'm trying to think this through, but there's just too much I do not know the answers to.)
