  • Lenovo G50 factory reset - 80 questions

    I have a laptop G50-80, which has been upgraded to Win10 quite earlier. Recently he started having trouble with hardware and software that worked no longer works. I decided to use the reset option factory to return the system to Win8.1.

    Before doing so I downloaded the more critical of my files from the user to a Cloud Computing service and created a recovery image of windows on a SSD connecterd external via USB. I also created a system restore CD.

    Once I felt, it was safe, I pushed the button and started the factory reset. It has worked flawlessly, the system came in Win8.1. However, the files that I had uploaded to the cloud is not fully spread, and I needed to restore the image of Win10 to get back them.

    After several attempts to get the Win10 upgraded to work, I finally got to Win10 boot and restore the image of the SSD system. I found the files and was more securely save for later access. Now, I had to perform a factory reset more to return the system to Win8.1. But operations to do so led to restart the system for the installation of Win8.1. He was not able to start the factory reset.

    Some reading on the internet indicates that if the HD partitions are written in software other than the Lenovo OneKey tools that any attempt to use the partitions of the factory to do a reset would fail with the symptoms that I saw.

    Using the Win10 disk management tool, I see that there are 6 partitions on my hard drive. They are called "Recovery Partition", "EFI System Partition", "OEM Partition", "C:", "D:", and "recovery Partition". I don't see anything on the first 3 or last one of them. It doesn't seem to be a file system to set up, so I don't know if the data has been preserved.

    Is there something I can do to recover the factory software reset so I can restore this system to Win8.1?

    You may need more information to help. I'll be happy to provide all that you think you have need. Let me know.

    I found an answer that seems to work for me. I am currently at 12%, restore the factory settings. Check out the instructions here:

    https://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/Lenovo-beacon-stick-300-D-J-and/Windows-8-recovery-partition-not-recogn...

    After the execution of these instructions, the novo button does not. From the Lenovo OneKey app doesn't. I had to reboot to factory settings using the windows restore utilities. Before running these instructions, the third partition of the provided factory restore option was not available. This time it was and the restoration continues.

    If I don't come back and say otherwise, assume the success!

  • Slow start even after factory reset

    After significant problems, mainly increasing the response slow time, which no longer responding, slow start, not being not able to uninstall the software and do not restore to any point windows recovery, I performed a factory reset.  I was running Kaspersky, Eset and Malwarebytes - I think that this is the final fall of the computer, but it has never been declared malware that has not been set.

    The problem is, even after the factory reset with NO other programs installed, I'll still have a slow start.  This should not be the case, right?

    Hi JoBasche,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. what security software you have installed on the computer?

    ESET is a security software, but it is also possible that this may be an indication of computer infected by virus or malware infections.

    I suggest that you scan the computer for all these infections and remove.

    I cracked my screen making it unnecessary, how can I factory reset before sending the phone to the warranty?

    Thank you

    You may need to perform a repair of software using PC companion. The process will erase all internal memory. You might need to charge your device for about 1 to 2 hours until the device has so at least 60% battery.

    Make sure that the device is not connected to the computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press the power button / stop and volume until what the machine vibrates 3 times or on some devices, it must push the small button near the tray on the back of the camera or SIM).

    Open PC companion-> support area-> update phone software / Tablet-> repair my phone/Tablet blue highlighted. Follow the steps, do not plug your phone until you are prompted to press volume down while plugging in the USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you may need to run Windows 7 compatibility mode (in some cases XP).

  • PALM TX - Factory Reset question - need help

    I have a PALM TX. The green power button on top seems the PALM TX turns on but not turn off the power. The home on the PALM TX button will literally reset the PALM TX by it turn off and save as a PC. The soft reset by clicking on the reset at the back button works. The hard reset never works it just of upward loads data and time to change initially. I tried a reset which apparently does not apply to the PALM TX zero. I'm doing gift of this device, but I want to make sure that all my information is a first. I think I'll just keep it if I can't find a way to do a factory reset.

    When all else failed, I tried to remove only randomly all the softare or memory on the primary server, but at some point it resets and it won't let me do this etiher. A knowledge of any software I can add to make a factory reset?

    Tara

    Is this your first Palm?  It sounds like from an older older device file system have been sent to this TX.

    A Hard Reset is recommended.  If your power switch is in effect unusable, I have another solution.

    To perform a hard reset: (Palm Knowledgebase article #887)

    By now the power down button, press on and release the Reset button on the back and continue to press the Power button. When the gray Palm logo is displayed, you can release the Power button.

    You should now see the warning in 5 languages page. Press the direction upward on the 5-way keypad to perform the task. The Palm restarts several times as it re - install the original programs and erases all data from your previous.

    If you are unable to do the above, download and install the "Hard Reset" here:

    The program will run immediately reset when it runs.

  • Cannot run some programs after system restore to remove the virus

    Hello

    Toshiba my duaghter had a nasty virus that pretends to be an antivirus software product, which sneaked in, between the time his default service Norton has expired and I had the time to install Trend.

    Can not remove it using trend, so on the advice of a friend, decided to make a windows system restore to a point before the infection. It worked successfully and the virus has disappeared, but now she can't run some programs, I tried to reinstall Trend, but fails because he says you must first uninstall Norton. But I can't run Norton, or uninstall, and certain folders on C: are no longer accessible.

    I have to do a full restore of the Toshiba System (IE back tofactory settings? This seems a drastic measure, but the issue is beyond my meager knowledge of PC.

    Thank you

    Graeme

    Hey Buddy,

    Hmm... This announcement is a bit confusing... Maybe the programs you want to say were installed after the system restore point, who knows?

    In my opinion you must reset the laptop configuration that you have already written. This will restore the pre-installed Windows version where everything is working correctly and that all the drivers and tools are installed.

    Therefore, you only need the Toshiba Recovery disk and boot from it. This will restore the factory settings.

I used the following instructions to do that (http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm), but when I'm in pressing the F8 key when starting laptop it appears a list of choices on the display that does not contain 'Repair your computer' or "??" or something like that. The first entry in this list is 'Safe Mode', second is 'Safe Mode with Networking' and so on. Also, I tried the other method described in many places in the internet, which is to press 0 and the whole power button when you turn on the laptop. In this case again, he starts to do things as described in the instructions (example here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5dEOm1EJBw): it beeps, then when I let go of the 0 key, it prints "starting Windows" and shows the Windows logo, after that it goes to market as always and no other dialog boxes appear.

    Best regards
    Mihran grabbed.

    Hello Mihran and welcome in the Toshiba forum

    Let's see what's not there.
    First some general info. Each new Toshiba notebook is preinstalled with original recovery image. This image is also saved on the HARD disk on a separate partition. With the factory settings repair my computer option will appear in the advanced start-up (F8 at startup) and HARD drive recovery option can be made as described in Toshiba document you posted in your first assignment. If nothing is changed, this option will be there and you will be able to do the installation of HARD drive recovery again ad again.
    > when I'm in pressing the F8 key when starting laptop it appears a list of choices on the display that does not contain "repair your computer".
    This occurs if you have installed the version of the OS using the Microsoft installation disc. After having this option to fix my computer will disappear, and you will not be able to start the installation of HARD drive recovery.
    > Is there another way to do the factory reset?
    Yes. You must use the disk for the installation of the OS restore DVD. After that it all will be the same. Repair my computer option will be available again and you won't be havce factory again.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.
