• Cannot restore to factory of the Satellite L350

  Hello

  I was having problems with Vista so a friend recommended that I tried ubuntu.

  But now I want to go back to vista, but I can't get my laptop to run restore.
  I tried now pressed 0 while turn also by pressing f8 but it always starts just as usual.

  The Toshiba recovery disc creator isn't on my computer either. I do not have the disks of Vista, but if I remember correctly that my laptop never came with them, I am really stuck on what to do.

  Hey,.

  I'm a little confused about your ad Mr. you wrote that you tried Ubuntu but you have installed Ubuntu and Vista deleted or was it just a live Ubuntu disc?

  The Toshiba HDD Recovery feature is described here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

  But something more: the HDD recovery works only with the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba, so if you have installed another OS or an upgrade, this option doesn't work anymore.

  And you're right: the laptop doesn t come with Toshiba Recovery disk because you must create this disk you use Toshiba recovery media creator which is preinstalled. This tool will create a boot disk with a picture of settings which can be restored each time unlike HARD drive recovery which works only with the original installed OS.

  To cut a long story short, just ordered a Toshiba Recovery disk and install it. Then you have the back factory settings :)

• HP Pavilion 15 laptop: HP Pavilion 15 laptop: System Restore completed successfully. The problem is not resolved.

  About 3-4 weeks ago, my computer found himself in a reboot loop. I was not online at the time where he was probably not due to an update.

  After going on the HP Web site, it was first suggested that the issue could be overheating due to dust. I followed the instructions but it does not work.

  Diagnosis is directed which has determined that there are no problems with the hardware or memory.

  Then the site suggested that I do a Refresh system or a system restore. I tried the cooling system. It did not work.

  I contacted HP Tech Support hotline and they told me to update the drivers. Drivers cannot be updated / installed (by me at least) in Safe Mode, if it does not work.

  Then told me the only choice I had was to do a Factory Reset/System Restore.  After the purchase of an external HARD drive and backup of my files, I tried to do the factory reset. I received a prompt to insert a disc, but computer did not come with a disc. If it does not work.

  Then I was told by support that I had to buy "recovery disc" or a new copy of Windows 8.1. Technical support said it was the only way to solve the problem. By chance, I found another video that shows how to access recovery tool of real system since menu troubleshooting at start-up.

  System recovery completed successfully. However, while creating the new installation of Windows 8.1 (implementation name, country, favorite colors, e-mail etc.) the original reboot loop problem started. If it does not work. Even worse, because the Windows installation is incomplete - and can complete because of the reboot loop - I can access more fashion is safe.

  Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Miracles would net you have my firstborn (eat too in any case).

  Okay, so I had to take the machine to a technician. What she said is that it was certainly not a hardware problem. Its best estimate is that my computer As witn infected a Trojan horse which subsequently transferred, entered the BIOS and corrupted partition.

  Short history of Tech, they fixed by redoing the BIOS and installing a new copy of Windows 8.1. I asked about the other options that I received. She explained that a remote technical support could not fix the problem, nor recovery disks could solve the problem.

  My advice to all who encounter such a complex problem, when you contact HP Support don't forget to request contact information for a local HP technician, licensed (I only asked for this in desperation by accident). Just in case your problem is not easily diagnosed or solvable, it might just save you some time, money and spare you confusion.

  As for how I got infected with the Trojan possible in the first place, no idea. The only thing I can think is that I've opened an e-mail looking strange but legitimate to someone I didn't know. However, it was about 6 months ago and the problem started a month before, so I at least do not know if there is a link. However, it is always good advice not to open strange e-mails. Note that the technician did say that even if I had Norton installed, it would not be able to automatically detect the problem. (I wonder if I called Norton technical support if they could have helped or pointed me in the right direction faster. But even once, any comments or information I received from HP technical support gave usable clues. "And refresh the system that has been proposed did uninstall Norton).

  So, I have a computer to work again. I hope this info can be useful to someone and avoid frustration. Thanks to everyone who took the time to read my post.

• Each system restore try results in the message "unable to restore to that date.

  original title: restore the system to a date in April.

  I have problems w/messages saying: I have a pop up blacker. Checked and pop-up blocker disabled.  My tools bar ie file, tools, etc. disappeared.  Try to do system restore to see if it will fix the problems, but each system restore try results in the message "Unable to restore to this date", still

  I use dates that are "BOLD" and should be allowed to use. What can I do?

  You may be able to substitute the blocker by holding down your Ctrl key.

  Sometimes, the restoration of the system may be blocked by other software... especially of virus scanners.

• Windows 7 system restore is impedes on the screen "system restore is initializing.

  Thanks for the response back...

  I was excited to your idea to check services and services to load... I didn't know about services of dependant' for the Volume Shadow Copy service and windows backup services... I check them and the services required and dependent services are all started and running...

  There is no error all messages when the system restore runs... it's just not always... (Even running overnight).    When I eventually give up and reboot the pc, I get an error message that the system restore did not complete...

  FYI... my device manager also shows as being very well... and I gave you on a previous message in the event log errors...

  Thank you for all this help and information... even if I have not fixed my problem, I've learned a lot about Windows 7...     :-)

  I have a very similar problem with a Windows7 Ultimate x 64 system.

  Services run, my drive is ok, I have a lot of space (> 10 GB), I suffer from any other anomaly/Windows error, but the system restore will not end but freezes on the screen "system restore is initializing. The event log is not shine any light on this because the last event in the newspaper it is that the event log service was stopped, some hang up after the fact and did not get connected.
  Even system restore seems to work, there is a lot of activity of the disk for 5-10 minutes, then the disk activity stops and then the system just rest it seems doing nothing, rather than the SR. I have no problems to paralyze this system there may be something that simple.  Running in Mode safe is without help.
  I ran SFC/scannow in Windows (3 times in fact) but this does not help, either.

  Hello world

  I hope I can find a solution for my problems here.

  I bought a new Toshiba Satellite U500 (PSU9ME),
  I'm updating my laptop regularly whenever I get alert through TEMPRO or Toshiba service center.

  Last week I received an alert to updat the BIOS and I did. Since then, I've noticed the following problems:

  1 eco utility does not work, and when I tried to uninstall, it says (not supported BIOS)
  2. on screen funtion buttons that appear at the top of the screen when you press the Fn key no longer not apear
  3. the touchpad lock / unlock button does not work, and even by pressing Fn + F9 doesnot lock

  I hope you can give me an answer about my problems,
  I already downloaded the latest updates for the eco and value-added packege of the toshiba site and install,

  BUT

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  First one comment:
  * I am updating my laptop regularly whenever I get alert through TEMPRO or Toshiba service center. *
  That s is nice, but certainly not necessary. When the system is working, do not touch or change anything. Maybe stupid sounds now, but I recommend you to remove the TEMPRO system. Believe me you don't need. I have 2 years old Satellite A300 and original BIOS. It works perfectly and I don't want to take any chances and to change what anyone. Since last month, I have the Satellite U500-1EX and will do the same. TEMPRO is already removed, and I am happy with the factory settings.

  All that you have done is OK, but at least you can try to reinstall entire OS now using HDD recovery option (F8 at startup) to see if everything works well again. Sorry, but if this will not help, I think that you need the BIOS downgrade to the old version.

• Windows automatically restarts constantly, cannot access the system restore point, cannot access the computer in safe mode

  Hi all

  For the not 24 hours I tried to access my computer in normal mode. When I turn on the pc, it says "configuration data 1 of 3 steps...". 0% complete"he never spent 0% and within seconds, it automatically restarts and starts again. It's so frustrating! I have a windows vista pc (purchased in ' 06). I can only access my desktop in SafeMode.

  I tried to perform a system restore, but not like he says "recovery disk is not the restore point selected. What should I do? I tried to manually create a restore point, but cannot access the system and Maintenance, while in safe mode. I can't do anything but literally access the internet. How can I get Windows back to factory settings it is with these limited resources? I have a Dell reinstallation DVD.

  I searched my programs and found that recently Windows automatically updated and downloaded "Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer" and "for 2007 Office system Compatibility Pack '. Now, I think it has something to do with it, because they were the most recent updates, before the pc crashed. But I also fear that it may be a virus, which has completely hijacked this PC. How am I supposed to get rid of a bug, if I can't even get the necessary antivirus?

  Sorry for the ranting, but it's so stressful when my pc is completely down. Please, please please help me. Thank you in advance for reading this same!

• Windows Home Server 2011 complete system restore problem = cannot start the LAN adapter

  Home built PC

  Card mother Gigabyte GA-Z77MX-D3H

  Network adapter Atheros AR8151 PCI-E on the map connected to the LAN Cat6

  Windows Pro 10

  Windows Home Server 2011 on LAN

  I had a hard drive failure partial who gave no symptoms or errors except a VERY slow start-up and operation.  I tried to do a restore of the entire system of my Home Server 2011 backups to see if, perhaps, just the image was corrupt.  USB was created and all drivers copied from pilots for the full system restore folder.  Has started the full restoration of the system and loaded the missing NETWORK adapter driver by using the scanner for drivers.  Driver support was successful but no lights NIC and the message "cannot find server".  NETWORK card was working fine before, even with the bad hard drive and also after the abandonment of the restoration.  Installed the new drive hard C:-System and that was the main problem, BUT..., the later to restore attempt was always the NIC starts not problem.  Tried the driver directly at Gigabyte support and drivers drivers for the full restoration of the system of records from several different backups.  No love.  Just NIC does not start after the specified load successful pilot.

  All good advice?

  3 do you have Norton installed on the computer security software?

  If you use Norton Security software on the computer then refer to the article below and check if it helps.

  http://Service1.Symantec.com/support/sharedtech.nsf/pfdocs/2005113009323013

  If you don't use security software Norton then temporary deactivation of security software installed on the computer and check if it helps.

If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

• System Restore is missing from the start menu and does not work after upgrade from win98se to winXP Pro.

  I just upgraded to winXP Pro win98se. After doing so I discovered there are no ads for tabs "System Restore, disk cleanup, Disk defrag, scheduled tasks or System Info ' not listed in the"System Tools"menu, but the others are. I also noticed he wasn't an App icon. "Security system" in the control panel. I installed SP2 to try for a fix, but later he installed only the "security system" App.  I find 'rstrui.exe' in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Restore folder, but when I click it, nothing happens.
  I'm working on a laptop Dell Latitude cpi with a Pentium II 363 and 128 MB of Ram.

  The reason for all the downtime is you have 2 OS installed (partially), & windows

  XP is you expected in the Committee to xp & remove the possibility of return to 98... its been a long time

  but, open Disk Cleanup utility, remove the previous operating system (select all), once through, open the disc

  cleaning, locate the 'other options' button, select this option to remove all but the last restore point, close. Go

  to run, type: appwiz.cpl locate the large fo; der with the old operating system, remove it, close when thru.
