• How to restore partition factory settings after installing Win 7 Professional and after having lost everything as a result.

  I have a netbook with a partition that has win7 starter installed.  I unfortunately poorly installed windows 7 Professional and now have nothing available which was originally on the computer.  Everything was wiped clean including my ability to use / access my wireless, ethernet controller, pci, etc..  I tried repeatedly to recover the partition back to factory settings, but it won't give me the option to select the partition.  I guess that's because they are all two Windows 7.  Can you help me get it back to windows 7 edition starter of the partition so I can restore all the factory settings and programs.  I haven't lost any information or files that I loaded win7professtional as soon as I turned it on.  I have restore points, images, etc.

  When I installed Win 7 Professional, not old Info windows.old file but I don't know how to access that is.

  Help, please?  Thank you

  The Windows.old folder has two objectives:
  (1) can be used to uninstall Windows 7 and return your PC to the previous version of Windows.
  (2) contains a backup of all your files of data, documents, photos, Etc. from the previous version of Windows.

  If you don't need either of these two options can delete the Windows.old folder. In your case if you can access the "recovery Partition" to restore the windows and then back the Windows.old folder before you begin.

  Note: Option to change Windows Explorer to see the Windows.old folder:
  Click on start and enter in the box "Search": "hidden" (without the quotes)
  Click on the "Show the hidden files and folders" option at the top of the list.
  In the "Folder Options" window
  Click the 'view' if it is not already selected.
  In the list "Advanced settings" locate "hidden files and folders".
  Now click 'show files and folders '.
  Then, disable the following:
  "Hide empty drives in the computer folder.
  "Hide the extensions of the file types that you want to know."
  "Hide protected operating system files"

  Click on the "Apply" button and the OK"" button.

• Satellite M40 - how to restore the factory without ODD settings?

  Hello

  My HARD drive crashed a few days ago on my Toshiba Satellite M40.
  So I bought a new HDD IDE to use my Toshiba WinXP recovery DVDs. But my internal optical drive does not work.
  My BIOS does not let me start on an external optical drive...
  I tried to use another laptop recovery DVD but it says 'this recovery DVD is only for Toshiba laptops.

  All I want is to try to find a way to use my restore DVD...
  Can someone help me? or ideas?

  Concerning

  Hello!

  I think that every resident has reason. You can restore t to factory settings on the recovery disk Toshiba no CD/DVD drive work.
  If you want to use the Toshiba Recovery disk, you need to replace the CD/DVD drive!

  But as resident suggested, you can install Windows XP with a disc of Microsoft. Therefore, you don't need a CD/DVD drive work.

  It of your choice what you do! Either you replace the CD/DVD drive, or you use a disk of Microsoft.

  Hi @dinhhv

  From the symptoms you describe, especially how any changes you make on your device are lost whenever you restart, run the tool in KB @sdgardne mentioned previously (pasted again below).

  KB36747 all data are deleted after a manual restart of smartphone BlackBerry 10 and has THE blue...

  After you run this tool, can you confirm if the tool says the patch has been applied, or no patch is necessary?

  If the hotfix has been applied, please reboot your device and let me know if the changes you made before you restart are kept.

• Satellite L550 - square black on the desktop icons after upgrading to Windows 7

  Hi people.

  Don't know if Windows 7 has simplified our PC as Microsoft would have us believe. I spent the last two days trying to understand why my L550 has suddenly square black on my desktop icons.

  What happens after the installation of Microsoft, application of a software patch updates for a HP deskjet 5150 printer. To be honest, I'm more sure when this nuisance hits me.

  Resolution true color (32 bit) upward in color (16 bit) downgrade rid my icons of black squares. Should I therefore settle for a lower resolution when my laptop can do better? Any workaround yet?

  Thank you

  Hey, Mambo,

  What exactly are you installing if you visit the Windows Update page? Maybe you install a different display driver that isn't compatible with the graphics card.
  Check this box!

  Also, make sure that the new display on the site of Toshiba driver is installed.

  Is the software patch for your printer that is compatible with Windows 7?

• Re: Satellite A300 - how to restore the original condition?

  Hello

  My computer freezes for a second or 2 from time to time and Toshiba support told me it might be a software problem. I don't think, because he began the day I bought the laptop and the display driver keeps on the work stoppage, but because I said that if it's a software problem.
  I would have to pay for it, I want to try everything before sending it for repair. This is why I would like to restore my Satellite in its original state as he was just at the moment where I bought it.

  So basically I have 2 questions:

  1 - does anyone have any idea why it keeps freezing on me? And what I should try to do to fix it?
  2. can someone tell me how to restore the laptop to its original state?

  Thank you very much Dina

  Hello

  To determine if it of a software problem or not, you need to restore the factory setting and if it doesn't work you can go to an authorized service provider. They can repair the laptop for you.

  The factory settings can be restored with the Toshiba recovery disc. I guess that your laptop has been delivered with Windows Vista, if you have options to restore factory settings: the Toshiba disk recovery or HARD drive recovery service.

  HARD drive recovery function formats the first partition of your laptop and install Vista again with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba. It is an image that is stored on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder HDDRecovery.
  If you go into the advanced with F8 boot menu after you start the computer, you can start this feature of Toshiba. And then select Repair my computer and some Windows files will be loaded. Then, you can choose the function to drive HARD Toshiba Recovery and follow the instructions on the screen.

  The Toshiba Recovery disk, you must create first, or have you done this yet? Normally, you get a reminder of recovery message after the first start of the laptop that you must burn this disc. Therefore, you must the preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator and the image in the folder in HARD drive recovery will be burned on the disc. Then you have a startup disk that can restore the factory settings and HARD whole disc formats then back up your data first!
  The recovery disk is necessary if you have a new HDD or Windows start doesn t. Otherwise, you can use HARD drive recovery.

  I hope I could help a bit and now you understand how to restore the factory settings.
  If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)

• Satellite A300 - how to reset to factory settings?

  Hello everyone,

  first of all, sorry for my English, it is not my native language and I do a lot of mistakes, I hope you can understand me correctly.

  My problem is that I have a toshiba Satellite A300 provided with Windows Vista op time after I have bought I installed windows 7 on it (you know, so new that I have to try). Now, my problem is I want to reset my phone. I have the recovery disks, and the folder HDDRecovery D: but my computer cannot read.

  What can I do? I tried a lot of things... How can I reboot my computer to factory settings?

  Hope you can help me,

  Best regards.

  Hi biguri,.

  After the installation of another operating system, you will need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings. That means Vista preloaded with all the drivers and tools you get back if you boot from the recovery disc and follow the on-screen instructions.

  But don't forget to make a backup of the important files like photos, videos, etc., because the recovery disk will wipe the entire HARD disk.

  You have problems with the recovery disk?
