System recovery against Factory Reset?

• Factory reset after the removal of the system recovery partition

  Hey I had deleted my recovery partition because windows limit 4 partitions and I used all the others... I can still do a factory reset now if something is wrong? Or can I create a disk recovery or something?

  Just use Windows recovery integrated to do the backup, it is free and works well. The backup is a full system image & recover as mobile in the exact configuration is in at the time of the creation.

  A clone of left player would do the same thing & tends to be much more relible HP recovery & free.

• Pavilion p6506f: System Recovery option grayed out when you use the recovery to factory default reset disk

  Dear experts,

  Please help me on what I am making a solution for about 4 hours now...

  Somehow my recovery partition is damaged, so I use the recovery disk that I created when I bought the computer.

  I used the disc to start the computer and after loading files and everything on the menu of Recovery Manager "System Recovery" is grayed out.  Note that I have not changed any hardware on the computer.

  Help, please!

  Thank you!

  Hello

  You did do the right thing. But you created a Win 7 recovery disk, not the game of HP recovery disks.

  You can switch to Win own 10.

  You will need the product key Microsoft of the COA sticker attached to the frame of your PC of 25 characters.

  Images of example COSTS:

  

  Do a clean install of win 10 If you do not know the product key of Windows 7 on the certificate of authenticity.

  Win 7 PC sometimes have problems updating to Win 10.

  I really think you should get support from HP Win 7 recovery. If the Win 10 upgrade fails you can always return Win 7 If you have a Win 7 HP recovery media.

  Your choice.

• Can't find NVIDIA drivers after system recovery/factory reset!

  Hello

  I recently did a factory reset on my PC after problems with too many files corrupting each other, I was unable to install drivers NVIDIA back and found out that I have not GPU NVIDIA or it just could not detect it somehow. I had used perfectly drivers NVIDIA on my PC before the factory reset, so I am really confused and frustrated. I only see the Intel driver in the device under the graphics card Manager.

  My PC (or PREDATOR G3610) info:-Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

  -Intel Core i7 2600 processor

  -NVIDIA Geforce GT545 3 GB

  -16 GB of DDR3 memory

  -2 TB hard drive

  -Multi-in-1 card reader

  -Wireless network

  I thought I was simply my active Intel Driver so that my NVIDIA driver disabled in the BIOS, but I was wrong... I don't see the NVIDIA chipset in the BIOS.

  While trying to install a driver from NVIDIA, I had also came across a problem by which I am unable to do it with a message displaying: "this graphics driver could not find hardware chart compatiable.»

  To my deep appreciation to anyone trying to help me solve my problem. Let me know if you still need the info on my PC. Have a great day everyone! :)

  See you soon ~

• Portege M700 - Vista operating system factory reset

  Hi guys, I would really appreciate help, please

  :)

  I have a problem with the reset procedure factory on my Toshiba Portege M700 Vista,.

  what I do is the following:

  1 turn off the computer by pressing & holding down the power button
  2. turn power on by pressing the power button
  3. I invite me for the password (BIOS HARD drive), I enter pasword
  4. I press F8 and go into the Advanced Boot Options
  5. Select repair your computer, press enter
  6. I select correct keyboard in pop - up, System Recovery Options after
  7. I connect as a user by entering my password
  8. I select Windows complete PC Restore

  New window appears, saying "Restore your entire computer from a backup" - Windows cannot find a backup on the hard disk or DVD on this computer. The area where I could specify the path to the file is grayed out. It is not that I now have the road, but I guess that there is a hidden with the Vista partition install files that it contains (?)

  "" In a small pop-up screen (on the top one), there is a similar message: "no valid backup locations could be found..."

  In an ideal world, I would use the backup (plant) from the internal hard drive of origin, rather than purchase and waiting for the preservation factory / restore DVD...

  Thank you much in advance!

  Hello

  The explanation is quite simple. For some reason, your laptop can not find recovery saved on your HARD disk image. I can't say why, but this can happen if the recovery image is deleted, removed to another folder, or in the case of modified HARD drive partitions.

  Recovery image is set with the so-called markers and when you start the image recovery Search installation wizard these markers. In the case where the markers are not found, you will get this message on the screen.

  So now you have the problem because the mounting will not work. Only option for you now is to install the original recovery image using recovery media, but I'm afraid you did not create one, right m?

  You must order the original Toshiba restore disk or you can install the version of the OS using the Microsoft installation disc.

  What do you think of all this?

• Satellite L655-16F - Factory reset using Recovery Media discs

  OK so I'll try to reset my Toshiba Satellite L655-16th back to factory settings, then he started giving me the out of memory error message, but I don't have that drives it asked me to do when I got the laptop, so when I do the F8 all start up and go to the screen with the Toshiba HDD recovery resetting thing and click on it It gives me this error message:

  * HDDRecoGUI *.
  Operating system recovery is impossible!
  Not found the HDD Recovery folder on the second disc of the first hard drive.
  There is no valid disk HARD recovery environment on this computer.

  I tried various different things; Press 0 - which gave me a screen asking you what operating system, I wanted to use (there is only Windows 7) then just continued to load as usual. Put the first disc in and restart my laptop (which I have pretty well every time anyway) - which did nothing. etc.
  So yes, is there a way to create the file from HARD drive of mystery I need the disks, or maybe another way to use the disks that I have not already tried?

  > Not found HDD Recovery folder on the second disc of the first hard drive.
  > There is no valid disk HARD recovery environment on this computer.
  This message appears if you have deleted the recovery image or changed the structure of the partitions on the HARD disk.

  If you have created disk or recovery disk that you can install the recovery using the recovery DVD image.

  Start your laptop and meadows F12 repeatedly to enter the boot menu.
  Place the recovery disc into the optical disc drive.
  In the menu choose the CD/DVD drive.
  Press ENTER.
  Follow the menu on the screen.

• Pavilion 6b50ei: try to factory reset but the recovery partition/drives created are defective

  I have a pavilion dv7-6b50ei notebook pc purchased 2012. He always gives a command prompt pop up who don't stay long enough to read. I felt too there is a virus on it that my anti-virus did not solve so I tried the factory reset, but when I restart and press F11 it gives an error (something like a boot... is missing). so I tried my recovery disks. CD 1 of 4 ran fine but disk 2 continues to stop with an error. Now, the laptop will not charge because I think that the operating system was formatted during the recovery and do not know what to do. I feel disc 2 is bad too because he also gave an error trying to copy on a USB key. I also tried an external dvd and run the hp hard disk test; the hard drive passed the test. If I can get a new set of recovery discs, it would solve my problem. In addition, I look forward to ideas. Help, please.

  Hello

  There are two options available.

  1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can still read all the key character product activation 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

  Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  You may need, additional drivers and software are here.

  What was the problem with the installation of W7?

  Normally, if well done, your laptop will work much better on a simplified version of W7 with all the bloatware that comes on the original image.

  I contact HP and make them aware of the number of recovery disc and in the meantime, try the clean install of W7.

  Install the drivers, it is like building a House.  You start with the Foundation and work your way upward.

  The Foundation 3 drivers must be installed in a specific order, and you reboot after each installation.

  If you do not, your installation will be unstable not unlike a House if you put the walls first and then decided to dig the basement.

  The first pilot, you always need to install is the Intel chipset installation utility.  Who installs the drivers for the motherboard.

  You restart when you are prompted.

  The second driver you install is the graphics driver.  Your model has the AMD/Intel switchable graphics, so the only graphics driver, that you install the AMD graphics driver that installs the drivers for the AMD graphics cards and Intel.   NEVER install the Intel graphics driver or allow HP or windows update to install an updated the Intel graphics driver.  Then you REB oot.

  The third driver you install is the audio driver and restarted.

  Then comes the wired network adapter.

  Then, you can install everything in any order you want.  You will probably want to install the driver for the wireless card then.

  Download the drivers from another PC and use a USB flash drive to install the first 4 on your laptop if you keep the correct order of installation for these important factors.

  If you're stuck trying to find a specific driver, display the ID of the hardware for it.

  Use this method to find the hardware ID.

  I used the for example wireless card, because most people have trouble knowing what model of wireless card they have.

  Go to Device Manager.

  There should be a category showing other devices .

  Less than one catergory other devices should be a list of devices that need drivers.

  They will have little things! marks next to them.

  The wireless network card is the device below the category other devices like a network controller.

   

  Click the network controller device, and it will open a window with tabs at the top of the window.

  Click the Details tab.

  On the Details tab, you will see a drop-down list of property.  It will be a default Description of the appliance.

  On this list and select the second item which is the hardware ID

  Now you should see 4 lines or more characters and the top row begins with PCI\VEN.

  After this first string.

  That tells the user the manufacturer and the type of device that it is.

• Have I not correct recovery DVD for a factory reset?

  Hello

  My laptop is a ProBook s 4540

  When I bought it, it came with 4 DVDs:

  • Application and Driver Recovery DVD (windows 7)
  • Operating system DVD Windows 7 Professional SP1
  • Application and Driver Recovery DVD (windows 8)
  • Operating system Windows 8 Pro DVD

  At some point I want to Factory Reset my laptop and I wonder if this dvd is to do it since I do not have the recovery with the recovery discs manager.

  Have I not correct recovery DVD for a factory reset?

  Hello

  Even better. Factory reset will bring more information, including the bloatware. Two sets of DVD (for Windows 7 and Windows 8) are the BEST companions. You will get your machine under control and you can download other software also under control.

  We all love having two RST for each operating system.

  Kind regards.

• 23 all-in-One Pavilion: a Factory Reset also renews the recovery Partition?

  I just did a Factory reset on my 23 all-in-One Pavilion. Previously, in the past, I had inadvertently erased the recovery disc. Fortunately, as I just discovered in the rebuilding process, I did a flash backup restore.

  (1) now that I have to order, updated to 8.1 has done that also recover this recovery on the hard disk drive.

  (2) the last time I did the flash recovery he had only windows 8. Now that I have 8.1 on that I should make a new flash with window 8.1 on this recovery?

  I know that last time I did restore flash he reported that it was a matter of time. Could not do another restore backup discs or Flash after this one. So I suspect that if the recovery disc has not been restored too it does not allow me to make a new key USB recovery stick?

• System backup Image against the system recovery disks

  Hello

  I'm new to the system recovery things and I have a question...

  I just bought a new computer laptop m7-1015dx of Pavilion and need to do system recovery discs... (which I realize restore laptop to factory default)... BTW, I have already created the system repair disc.

  However, I read an article on creating a system backup Image allowing you to recovery if lost EVERYTHING, all your installed programs, etc.

  First Question:

  Can someone tell me if I do the backup IMAGE of the system...

  Do I still need to create recovery disk (mfg default) system also?

  The second Question:

  If I create system recovery disks can I still this Recovery Partition?

  I am really really wanting to partition my C:\ drive... it is huge

  In addition, I hate to see storage folders involved in system folders...

  Currently using a symbol/character to separate them.

  From now on, I can't partition the C:\drive all partitions are used as... Max is 4

  and I have 4... C:\drive, System Partition, Partition HPTools and recovery Partition.

  Any help or assistance would be appreciated.

  Thanks for the research.

  Best regards, Jenn

  Hi, Jenn:

  I'd certainly recovery disks because in the case of a hard drive failure, a recovery partition is unnecessary because it would be on the failed drive.

  Recovery disks will do the same as a recovery partition. Reinstall the operating system and programs supplied with your laptop.

  I have also copy off the coast of the C:\drive SWSetup folder and store it on a portable hard drive that contains all files Installer provided with your PC (except MS Office 2010 Starter).

  You can also make your own Windows 7 installation disc and have a nice bloatware without installing windows, and then install only the programs you want from the SWSetup folder.

  Here's how:

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

  You can get rid of all the partitions you want to if you plan to use recovery or disc of Windows 7 installation method that I posted above.

  I write my product key and store them somewhere for more security that many people report that it fades if you keep the laptop on your lap a lot, and then you wouldn't be able to use the alternative method to install W7.

• Best order of events after the recovery of the system to the factory settings?

  I have done so recently a system recovery to the factory settings on my laptop and I was wondering just what I need to do and in what order to ensure the security of my computer.  Also, what is the best way to get Windows updates?  Should I open check updates from Control Panel or let them come as I go about my business or y at - it another option I should know about.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  You can tell Windows to check the updates of their installation at a faster pace. You could
  Download and install Service Packs manually however allow updates as
  usual will allow still more special updates to install.

  In telling Windows to check updates or don't expect that the automatic update are essentially
  equal. Rob - bicycle - Mark Twain said it is good.

• How to Factory Reset a system Win 8 since a Win 7 OS?

  If a church sister of mine, gave me his Dell Inspirion 3520 (Windows 8) to the difficulty. There was a windows update on which would not be completed, no matter how many times she has restarted. I managed to fix it and he crossed, showing the percentage to complete and it's usual reboot to complete. But after 20 minutes in the update, he said he was installing Windows 7! o.O

  After this "update", what remained was a clean install of Windows 7 Pro. It "seemed" she rolled back to Windows 7, because I can see the previous operating system in a Windows.old folder. But how a Windows 8 system back to Windows 7?

  in any case, I'm trying this system of factory reset so she can retrieve his computer. I see the OEM partitions on the disk, so I hope it's doable. I have installed Dell Backup and Restore. He said: he must first create an image. OK, 2 hours later it cancelled and said 'user cancelled the process, uninstall Dell Backup and Restore. " But I cancel anything! o.O

  So I tried to run again, and I got even more options. Hope to see something to do a factory reset, but most close option is to create a media factory reset. I plugged a USB 16 GB, click Next, and it gave me an error saying that "there was a mistake in the process. o.O

  I tried to get to the screen 'Repair your computer' by pressing F8 at startup, but the computer stops after a minute by clicking on the option.

  So I'm stuck. Is there another way I could get their mobile phone factory reset?
  I was able to install it by using a Windows 8 ISO from Microsoft site, instead of the factory reset?
  Any other advice?

  Thank you

  Before going any further - run a diagnostic extended hard disk (f12 at startup to join Dell diagnostics).  A failed hard drive is quite possible.

  If the drive passes the scope - and not only the flesh to live - diagnostic, which shows of BONE on the product key label (in the battery compartment)?  It may be the system comes with 7, but has been improved to 8.

  At this point, you can take advantage of the upgrade of WIndows 10 - it's free and you can get the Microsoft installation media.  Just check the label of the product key so that you get the right version (it is unlikely that this system is delivered with 7 Pro - House is on the label, you should just Windows 10 (not Pro).)  Your product key will work to install Windows 10 on the system.

  All this is based on a faulty hard drive.

  If the system shuts down during the diagnostic tests, you can have an overheating problem (is the system running hot?-if so, remove the heat sink assemblies dust).  If it is not hot but switched off, you probably have a bad mother.
