• Spectrum xt Touchsmart 4000th 15: laptop back to factory State: clean install Windows 10?

  Tried to upgrade from 8.1 to win to win 10 via Windows Update and got BSOD/reboot cycle with error on page iastorav.sys. Envoy for HP laptop and it has been recreated to win 8.0 State of origin to the 2 years ago. The best way to proceed from here?  My main options appear to be:

  1. download and install updates Windows 188. I don't like that it take ages and a large number of concurrent updates may cause problems (in my experience).

  2. restore the System Image which I saved before you perform the upgrade to win 10 previously. I fear that this may make me just back from the problem that caused the failure in the first place.

  3. update the drivers and do a clean 10 Windows Installer from USB. I think it would probably be the best option. I have all my old documents backed up elsewhere.

  I am especially looking forward to having good drivers Intel rapid storage (iastorav.sys) and also the right drivers and Setup to start quickly in Intel technology.  My laptop has a hybrid SSD/HDD.

  My key to win 8 is integrated on the motherboard. The new Windows 10 threshold Update will automatically validate on my HP laptop? This laptop only has not already been upgraded to Windows 10 (the upgrade failed).

  I would appreciate your help to find good drivers and also advice on installation and activation Windows 10.

  Thanks for your help!

  Hi SDJL,
  Thank you for taking the time to answer for me.
  I was hoping to use the update in the fall for a simple installation and activation, but now MS are removed it their MCT.
  I bit the bullet and started hp updated driver installation and updates of Windows to get to win 8.1.
  It took 9 hours to 254 Windows updates for 8.21 Windows running. I installed the updates of the hp driver 9 such as recommended by hp support assistant. Unfortunately, the Intel driver fast storage SP63642 failed to install twice using the HPSA. What should I do? I'll try the direct download from the hp site. any other suggestions?
  Thank you

• 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.

• Restore PC Dell back to factory for sale

  I'm selling my office and you want to restore back to factory settings.  It's a Dell pc that came with Vista with a 32 bit OP.  It is now 64-bit with Windows 7 Home Premium.   It is a Dell Inspiron 545.   I have the Windows 7 disc.

  I want to erase all my personal stuff of him pretty quickly.  Everything is saved on USB and external hard drive.  I don't want to create recovery disks or set a restore point and that's what the PC seems to me.

  More, there is the Dell Data Safe on it.     Can someone help me please?  Thank you

  Factory settings are Vista.  You cannot factory reset for Windows 7.

  Re - install Windows 7 or take the risk of creating a new user, and then remove yourself as a user and your files.  Not a safe thing to do unless you know and trust to the recipient.

• I had to do a system restore on my PC, which reformats the hard drive and he returned to factory State, and I lost all of my emails from OE and contacts. No way to get them back?

  My computer crashed and the system recovery was the only option.  I know this reformats the hard drive and actually returned the PC to factory State, but I cannot now access all of my old emails and contacts on OE.  I managed to configure OE once again, so I can receive messages via my site, but really need to come back to the 'old'.  Any help would be greatly appreciated

  Two points:

  Suggestions 1. see Bruce Hagen, but it is highly unlikely that you can get everything back. When you perform a system recovery, you lose everything that was on the disc.

  2. it is late to tell you this, but like you apparenly had no backup on external media, you're playing with fire. For the future, you can read this article I wrote: "how to return your computer regularly upward and reliable" to http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=314

• G6-2240SA Pavilion. Cannot restore to factory State

  Pavilion G6-SS40SA running Windows 8.

  I am using this computer for a friend. Somehow, he managed to get an app out there that ran at the start and led it slows to a crawl as well as internet access to the machine almost useless. In an effort to get rid of him, he tried to restore running. However, the destructive or non-destructive options would work. He received error messages - first ' impossible to reset your PC. A required disk partition is missing ", followed by" the drive where Windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again "." I managed to find the program that has been the cause of the problem and uninstalled. He asked me to prepare the computer to factory State, but unfortunately, it won't work - it starts, warns that all data will be lost and I confirm that I want to go forward. He then appears to start the process, but almost immediately end displays a message indicating that no change has been made. Where should I go from here?

  You should use recovery discs.

  If the recovery partition is not intact, then there is no other way.

  If you don't have the disks, you can get then by calling your country a specific HP support line.
