  I press the 'ZERO' the ignition key, but when I get back to the part of setting factory he tries for a few seconds and then comes up with

  And when I try to refresh the drive after going to the recovery section, then he said:
  "" The drive where Windows is installed is locked, unlock the drive and try again"

  Any help please

  > "Unable to reset your PC, the required drive partition is missing."
  Obviously the recovery partition containing all the files isn't available recovery more likely it has been deleted or changed in the past
  A question:
  You can reset the OS configuration using this method?

  (1) in the charm of settings, click 'change PC settings. "
  2) click 'update & recovery' under your laptop settings.
  3) click on the "Recovery" tab
  4) click on "Get started" under "remove all" and reinstall Windows.
  (5) follow the on-screen instructions to complete the recovery.

  In case this is possible isn t, you must perform the recovery procedure using the recovery media (USB flash stick recovery or DVD disc)

  Bad, bad. Buddy. Generally, you need to create the recovery to the first disk using the laptop.
  T did not read the user manual? Didn't you see the reminder?
  It s always recommended to create the recovery disk!

  > I've heard to restore the system to the L300, it must use its recovery disk, right?
  Yes, you are right. In order to restore the Vista, you must use the recovery disc!

  > The original system is vista. When I tried to insert a xp disc, it showed error after all the loading "stop: 0x0000007b...". "Could someone tell me how to handle?
  I think that it does not work because of controller SATA HDD.
  Either you'll assign compatible SATA mode (in BIOS)
  Or you must include the Windows XP SATA drivers.

  Check the HowTo of this forum area to get some details how to integrate the SATA (AHCI drivers) in Win XP.

• Re: Reseting Satellite C660 to factory settings

  On my Toshiba laptop to know that he could get the windows loading screen. It usually has the windows 7 loading bar cross with society but windows no logo above.

  So I tried safe mode, but it still would not get spent, tried to restore (same thing), tried to boot to the top of the (same) recovery disk so I was left no choice but to completely start a new however following instructions on the toshiba site and the number of threads looking , I held F8 until he loaded up the advanced and selected start menu repair this computer (option 1).

  I expect to move to the next step of the tutorial, however, it's the same old problem... It goes to the windows screen and load load just permanently.

  The whole story is a bit strange. The value of the default BIOS and try to make clean OS installation by using the recovery disk.
  Start your laptop and press F12 to get into the boot menu. When the boot menu appears on the screen, place the recovery disc into the optical disc drive and choose CD/DVD drive in the menu. Confirm with the button ENTER.

  I hope that recovery will be started correctly.

  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.
