Satellite A200-17O - how to restore Windows to the factory settings?

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! ;)

    Hey Buddy,

    I think you didn't read the manual right? ;)

    Recovery procedure is very easy and you have two options: HDD recovery or recovery disk.

    HARD drive recovery can be used with the version preinstalled Windows only so if you have installed another version of Windows this option isn't available anymore. The exact procedure is described in the user manual, you need to enter the advanced Windows (key F8) boot menu and choose fix my computer. You will see a new window where you can choose the HARD drive recovery.

    The Toshiba recovery disc yourself using the preinstalled Media Creator Toshiba recovery must be created. That's why you have some blank DVDs and the tool will automatically create the discs. This disk can still be used to restore the original settings, independent what OS is installed, as well as on the new hard drives. If it still works because the HARD disk will be cleaned completely before installation.

    Now it s also too late for disk recovery, but you can order a copy here:

  • Satellite P300/05Y - how to restore Windows?

    Hello

    I would like to be able to restore my Toshiba Satellite P300/05Y PSPCCA-05Y01Y to factory default, but I deleted the partition when I went to Linux.

    What are my options? Download a copy so that I can burn to a CD? I have the key.

    Hi, IWB,.

    If you deleted all partitions during the installation of Linux, you need the Toshiba recovery disc to restore the settings from the factory with Windows preinstalled and all the drivers and tools.
    The key on the side of the can t be used with a Windows installation disc normal because it s an OEM key that doesn t normal work with the installation diskettes.

    In any case, you should contact a service provider authorized in your country. Usually the guys should be able to order an original Toshiba recovery disc for you. :)

    Alternative use a normal Microsoft Windows disc with the key that belongs to this disc. All the drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba page.

  • Satellite A200-1YO - how to record directly from the computer?

    I have the Satellite A200 - 1YO Realtek ALC268 with Vista operating system.

    There is no option to directly record what is done on the computer. The audio input is only through micro. I have Creative Xtreme Audio Notebook added on too but you do want to save via its entry due to the reduction in the sound quality.
    I had previous portable Toshiba and the offered options "What U Hear" realtek

    I googled this search, and there seems to be a problem with Realtek. Is there a solution?

    Hello

    Maybe your sound card does not provide this functionality
    It is not impossible

    I have an another series Satellite phone and use the No. 23 freeware tool to record the audio stream.

    I record everything

    Maybe it could also be an option for you.

    Some Compaq computers have a restore partition hidden on the hard disk that you can use.  Restart the computer and as soon as something appears on the screen, press the F10 on the keyboard.

    Another possibility is to wait until Windows XP is running and click Start > all programs > Tools HP > HP PC System Recovery .

    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

    I know, they have to computer surgeons if HP has no more:

  • How to reinstall Windows 8 to factory settings?

    I'm trying to reinstall Windows 8 Pro on my computer. The problem is this: I've upgraded to Pro 7 8 and when I go to "reset to factory settings" I get a message saying «some files may be missing, insertion of media» This 'media' am I supposed to insert? I have all my media recovery, I did when I first turned on my computer (Win 7) and I have the drive that the tech helped me to burn my Windows 8 Pro upgrade. Which one should I use? I'm trying to get my computer to where I have nothing on the hard disk, but Windows 8 Pro. In other words, I want a clean, like new, of the machine. Or would it be better to do a custom installation of Windows 7 and wipe all my hard drive, leaving only the installation of Windows 7 and download the upgrade of Windows 8 by using the product key that I bought? Facing a dilemma of folk here! If this thread seems a bit confusing, it's because I'm working on three different machines. I'm not interested in the backup of personal files or media. I just want a 'Clean' install on a single partition, if that's possible.

    If I do as suggested by Abraham, he returns it back to Win 8 or Win 7?

    Then, you do a reset.  Press Win - I, then click Power and hold down SHIFT while you press Restart.  Follow the instructions to reset your computer.  It will take about six hours, but everything will be back to factory settings.

    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:

    ___________________________________

    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:
