  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,

  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?

• Satellite C50D-A-133 may restore factory settings

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C50D-A-133 with 8.1 in Windows that cannot start and ends on the preparation of the auto repair and fails and restarts. I tried to restore using the 0 key, but don't go to the boot partition.

  I also tried to reinstall with the DVD of windows 7 and 8, may start on a dvd and freezes right at the same time where I need to press ENTER to accept and keyboard goes off, this product on windows 7 and 8 even after changing for a CSM boot UEFI boot options.

  Need help please

  Hello

  (1) If you want to install the system using external media (floppy or USB flash ill) you will need to change some settings in the BIOS. The secure boot option should be disabled.

  (2) in addition if you want to install Win 7 it must switch the CSM mode UEFI boot mode.

  With regard to the problem of system startup:
  I think that the system is confusing to the top where the automatic repair option does not solve the problem, and that would mean that the operating system must be installed from scratch.

• Satellite L30 - 10Y - how to reset to factory settings?

  Thank you

  Hi prescott91,

  You have the Toshiba Recovery disk? If so, it is very easy: just boot from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen. The recovery disk will delete the whole HARD disk restore factory settings and then recreate the partitions.
  So if you have important data on it, make a backup of it if not already done.

  But it is also described in your user manual. Have a look at. It s interesting documentation. ;)

• Satellite Pro P200-1JV - how to reset to factory settings?

  Hello

  I'm trying to reset my Satellite Pro P200-1JV to factory settings. I tried pressing reset and turn on, also tried pressing F8 and turn on and no system recovery doesn't happen as I was told that it should.

  Hi alanmanley,

  Why you press the zero key to restore factory settings?
  You can restore the factory settings if you go into the advanced Windows (F8) boot menu and select Repair my computer. Then will begin the recovery of HARD drive and reinstall Windows.

  In addition, this option is available on OS preinstalled Toshiba and the recovery disc, that you create yourself as mentioned in the user manual.

  Hello

  Have you created a Toshiba Recovery disk in the past?
  If this is not the case, try the procedure for recovery of HARD drive as described here:

  + How to recover a Toshiba notebook with the HDD recovery procedure.
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

  If HARD drive recovery is not possible, then you will need to order a recovery disc.

  How to restore your computer settings certainly depend on what brand of computer you use. You must contact the manufacturer or your computer's manual should give you guidance on how to use your disks restore provided with your computer or the hidden partition.

  Please note that means restoring the computer to the factory settings, restore the computer to the State that you have first obtained it in. You would lose your programs that you have installed, your data, etc etc. It would be like a new installation.

  Consider other options first.

• Satellite L350 - restore factory settings

  Hello

  I have a L350 and have had problems with my keyboard, my laptop keep thinking that the control key is stuck. I found that when this happens my keyboard stops working properly, but if go into control panel--> change keyboard and just click on all (not to change anything just open & then close) it seems ok again for a while. I want to restore factory settings, but when I shut down or restart my keyboard no longer works, so I can't press the keys or value to boot from the disc. I tried to plug in a USB keyboard, but it's the same leading me to believe it's a software problem not hardware.

  Back, someone knows what can do to solve this problem?

  Thank you

• Satellite A665-S5170 reset to the factory settings

  I bought this laptop in February 2011 from best buy, I went on holiday in April, my father at the House-sit to the left and he used my computer. Said there are infestations of virus and its 'techno' friend installed linux mint OS on my computer and I want to not go.

  I want my Windows 7 return but I did not because recovery disks that I did not have too long and has not had the chance (don't wait no not my father to do something like that for her either). I know that there is a separate partition for the system restore in some satellite systems, can I access that without Windows on my computer? It is not double started, it's right linux and I can't STAND it. I also can't afford to pay for the new installation discs. Help, please!

  I can't use any of my programs, and I don't like the alternatives. I want to go back to Windows! Thanks for any help, it's GREATLY appreciated!

  EDITED TO add: since installing Linux, my keys do not light up or work, but I think that they can work with windows.

  Hi NaniApo,

  Usually, if another operating system is installed, you are not able to start the recovery of HARD drive more but you can try holding down the Zero key as Akuma writes.

  If it doesn't work your only option to restore factory settings is Toshiba recovery disc. If you n t have it order a service allowed in your country. On Toshiba site is a list with all FSA.

  I read that you can not afford to pay for a new disk recovery, but on the other side, I have to tell you didn't had the time to read the manual and you have to pay for that mistake. If I buy a new computer, TV or other media device I still have time to read the user's manual first and everyone knows how important it is. ;)

• Toshiba A30 restore factory settings

  pretty stupid question, but I need to restore factory settings, does anyone know how to do?
  Ive tried the system restore forest and it goes back only to a certain point
  I don't know what else to do?

  Hi Carolina,.

  When you say 'Restore factory settings', do you mean that you want to restore your A30 to its original condition, with original OEM software installation etc. That you could do it using the recovery CD, but this will remove one of your own data and software as well as raw product updates that you can download.

  Is it just that you have a problem with your system that may be corrected, rather than do a full restore?

• Restore factory settings

  I want to restore my laptop to original settings. My laptop does not start the operating system. It restarts only to the point where I see the 'Vaio' logo

  I can press F10 to use Recovery Wizard. But I don't have the recovery CD.

  I wanted to know, can I still use F10 to restore my laptop to factory without these CD manufacturing settings. I really don't care about data on my laptop, if it erases everything that I want to just restore factory settings

  Hello

  Restart the computer, keep tapping F10 key, press button to start editing option, Recovery Wizard select start and click on ignore VAIO Care rescue (if you do not want to back up data) to start the system recovery process.

• Satellite 2450-210: how to restore factory settings?

  I have a satellite 2450-210 I want to restore settings (wipe hd etc.) for my daughter to use.

  Can someone give me details on how to do it

  thanx

  Do you have a recovery CD?
  This disc is necessary if you want to restore the laptop back to factory settings.

  If you n t have this disc then you will need to use a clean Microsoft Windows CD (Win XP would be the best) for the installation of the OS.

  Toshiba drivers can be downloaded from the European driver Toshiba page
  Because this device is an oldie, the drivers have been moved to the archives (in the product type click on archive).

• Satellite L655 - 14 d - how to restore factory settings?

  Hello, I'm Ali.

  I have the Toshiba Satellite L655 - 14 d. I have format my laptop and repartition the HARD disk and reinstall Windows 7 from disc and I already save folder HDDrecovery...
  Now, how can I restore my laptop to factory settings?

  I hope to hear the solutions...
  Thank you
  ALI ADEL

  Hi Ali,

  To clarify some things: you reinstall Windows 7 recovery disk Toshiba or Microsoft Windows disk?
  If you have used the Toshiba Recovery disk, follow the instructions posted by Akuma. You can use the HDDrecovery feature to restore your laptop to factory settings.

  If you have used the Microsoft disk you need recovery disk from Toshiba. HDDrecovery is a Toshiba feature and cannot be used with the operating system preinstalled. That is why it s not enough that you have already saved the folder HDDrecovery, it will not work!

  If you don t have a recovery disc, you can order it here:
