  HOW CAN I RESET MY LAPTOP BACK TO FACTORY SETTINGS

  Hello

  Judgment of the laptop.  Start typing away at f11 as soon as you press the power button to start the Recovery Manager that you can then use to reinstall the operating system.

  Alternatively, if you have created a set of recovery disks, insert the first disc and restart the computer to start the process.

  Either way is fine.

  Hello

  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.

  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.

• Reinstallation of microsoft office home and student 2010 once laptop back to factory settings

  We will have our laptop sent through for repairs in which technicians will be restore to its factory settings.

  I currently have a MS Office Home and Student 2010 installed & activated after the purchase of a product key and download & install the software. I've save a backup of the installation file and, of course, will ensure that I don't lose my product key.

  I just want to ensure that I can reinstall MS Office in my laptop after that she is undergoing a complete restoration of the system. My license only allows me to install/activate MS Office on a single computer. I ask because I have no idea how the activation process will know that I am simply reinstall on the same computer or if a full restore of the system would make my laptop be "recognized" as another.

  All the signs are pointing me to be able to do this. But I don't want to not ask. Please confirm that I have nothing to do except save my product key and the installation file.

  Thanks in advance.

  As long as the repair does not have to replace the motherboard in the laptop, you should be able to reinstall the Office product without any problem.  Just ensure that your Win XP operating system is upgraded to SP3 before trying to install, as well as to remove any office trial programs that may have been resettled when the restoration was done.

• Laptop computer shows BOOTMGR missing after running system back to factory State

  I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment notebook model #dv7 cl 3163. First of all, I must say that I am a beginner user. My problem started with a low battery problem. Then, using recovery mgr. I first ran to the top of disks and then tried system restore. During which it stops. When I tried to restart it initially said something about starting like new from the factory. Then it said could not load the windows program. I contacted hp and tech had me buy a phone holder 1 year plan. Had me then go th the Recovery Manager and select restore to the original image. During which he gave this message. Recovery Manager cannot restore computer using the fzctory image. Please contact HP support. 0xe0ef0003 error code. He said that meant, that I need a new hard drive. Now when I turn it on it says BOOTMGR missing. Use ctrl del apt at the beginning but who doesn't. It doesn't do anything. The technology would be good? Is there a way I can check my drive first? Or another way to tell? It was not the original problem so I am not confident in its determination. Should I be?

  Immediately after turning the power on, press the ESC key. This should bring up a menu which F2 is what you choose. Use Diagnostics to test your hard drive.

• How can I reset my laptop to DVD factory State?

  Hi, I recently bought a Levono Thinkpad W530 and recovery media creation/test gives me a world of hurt.

  I really wish they had just sent me a recovery DVD (s) with the laptop, as Fujitsu made when I bought my laptop from them years ago.

  in any case, I saw that there was no way to recovery with the laptop, but then when I started, I spotted the partition to "restore" and discovered by clicking on it that it would create recovery media.

  Brilliant, I thought... This means I can create recovery 2-3 media in the case first case... Yes, it was a little naïve.

  So anyway, I made my first (and as I discovered later, only) backup of factory restore using some recordable DVD at low price (Hey, they must wrote that you could only do one somewhere in prints) and now, I don't know which worked.

  I mean, he tried to write to DVD 4 and 1 of them turned out not to be false (I have DVD0, DVD1 and DVD2, don't know if it was supposed to be a DVD3 or DVD to boot... I searched but did not find the answer).

  I explored most of the BIOS menu and has not found a way to restore the system to factory since the DVD State (I tried all 3, I hope I'm not out 1).

  I managed to do a cover of the plant, but only using the recovery disk partition hard (he doesn't use any DVD).

  Could someone let me know how you get to factory of a DVD recovery state so that I can determine if my recovery DVDs work?

  And assuming that recovery will not work the DVD I did, it means I'm stuck without a recovery media (which means that if the hard drive is corrupted somehow, here is Windows 7 Professional)?

  Is it possible I can get Levono to send me a recovery disk or reset my recovery partition so that I can try again to make a backup of recovery on a more robust support?

  And if it's the latter, that means I have to send my laptop in China, to pay for shipping and wait a month to get it back ?

  Needless to say, I feel very frustrated right now.

  Good day and welcome to the community.

  New machines, I had much luck calling Service and asking a recovery factory set. So far, I think because I called in the first week or 2 to get the machine, I did have to pay for all. Others indicate that they have been charged a tax, though, so YMMV. To be clear, I also do my a copy allowed recovery of the value of the mechanism on the disc.

  In case you haven't, here are the details of the Service:

  Country or region	Product	Language	Phone number	Opening hours
  Canada	THINK brand products	English, French	1-800-565-3344	24 hours/day 7 days a week

  I hope this helps.

  Kind regards.

  @bigphilly08,.

  Hello

  If you have somewhere copy c:\swsetup folder then here you have all the software vista pre-installed for your model.

  You can find and install HP QuickPlay. This software also runs on Win7.
