  2. everything went well. So I decided to remove WIndows 8.

  3. I deleted the partition Windows 8 and he added to the C partition.

  4. I had trouble getting my calibrated colors (this problem was present from the first time that I turned on the system. No the above procedure).

  5. I chose the OneKey restore announcement that it restarts.

  6. when I hit the F2 key, it has a display to dual boot, but only of Windows 7 has been in the list.

  7. I had already made a series of Recovery DVD, so I inserted the DVD #1 and restarted.

  8. I press a key when prompted and restore screen came.

  9. I hit him food and and it appeared to work until the error dialog window appears saying that the size of the partition was incorrect.

  Help! Thanks in advance.

  Bloo,

  I finally got the correct disks. I was sent a total of 5 sets of CD. All were for the A700 except the last game.

  I had pretty well given the fact that I was going to send the unit to the factory to restore. They actually sent me a box to ship it in. Fortunately, before I packed it upward, I got quite unexpected package. Voila! It was the right set of discs and now my system runs like a champ.

  Thanks for your help on this Bloo.

• Restore to factory setting problem

  Hello

  I HAV HP1000 with Windows 7, is have partitioned my hard drive into 3 partitions.

  Now I can't restore the laptop, restor factory setting icon is not active. window does not work correctly.

  I appericiate u guyz WD help.

  thanx

  Partitioning the hard drive usually breaks the recovery feature, changing the drive letters and/or usually convert the hard disk from basic to dynamic disk.

  Try EaseUS Partition Manager to get rid of the additional partitions and convert dynamic back to base:

• After restoring to factory setting... ntoskrnl.exe is missing or damaged

  I have a problem with my Asus R500VD laptop.

  My phone was at a standstill after I opened a few applications and after waiting for a while, I decided to shut it down by holding the power button for a few seconds. After that, I got a BSOD error 0xc0000221 saying ntoskrnl.exe is missing or damaged. I tried to go back to a previous system restore point, tried chkdsk /r (no error based), tried bootrec with all options (it shows 0 found windows installations), tried a full restore to factory (using the on my laptop's recovery partition), but nothing has worked. I always get the error above.

  When I restart, it tries to automatically repair the system (that works, it cannot solve problems automatically) and at some point it changes recent cancellations (complete the recovery I think). I tried the different boot options, but nothing seems to work.

  Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? It doesn't seem to be any corruption in the filesystem (chkdsk), ntoskrnl.exe is not missing...

  Thanks for your help! Greaty I appreciate it! Tips are welcome!

  Hi Blueelvis,

  No, unfortunately I don't have a spare HARD drive. But... I sent it back to the shop where I bought it. Should still be under warranty. I have included all our correspondence to give them an overview of what has been tried. Thanks for your help! I hope that I get a replacement or they're going to fix it. I also ran memtest86 + using The Ultimate Boot Disk and he found loads of errors--not sure whether memory is as bad or if it has something to do with the 8 GB with 64-bit processor.

  Best,

  Hi Paul!

  Thanks for your advice.

  I tried everything, but still I can't recovery my machine. Same error persists.

  Is there a possibility of error in my recovery image?  I created the recovery image it there a long time, in a USB key.

  Recovery process starts correctly but, during the process of instalation (not to the reproduction of data or formatting hd), an error occurs, machine is restarted, and initializes it with the message "Restore incomplete".

  Currently, I can see a log file and save a log of datailed in the USB. I don't understand what this newspaper talking about the error of the instalation.

  I have already run all the diagnostic tools, all my hardware is ok and passed all tests.

  Follow the journal:

  

  Before you start a new attempt at a recovery, try the following: (remember to go back and change it later)

  Press the power button and then press the ESC key. Select (press on) press F10 to enter the BIOS. Change the date system on January 20 of the year where you bought your X 2. Once this has been done, go ahead and press F10 again and choose Exit, save the changes.

  Now, try the recovery again.

  I highly recommend that you meet the PM can you receive HP team.

  The computer works fine, just a bit slow, especially when you turn it on, so I don't want to plant it, but I don't want to clean it up.

  Would appreciate any advice,

  Thank you

  Hello:

  You do not have the Windows Recovery discs.

  You must boot from the first floppy and follow the instructions on the screen.

  The best way to do that is to insert disk 1 into the DVD drive, reboot the laptop.

  At the beginning of the HP welcome screen, press the F9 key to start the start time menu.

  Select the DVD drive, and then press the Enter key.

  The PC should then attempt to boot from the DVD.  A message may appear on the screen that says basically «try to boot from DVD...» Press any key to boot from the DVD... »

  Press a button and the PC should then read the DVD, and you can follow the instructions on the screen.

  After the PC is done with disc 1, it will be ejected and invites you to remove disk 1 and insert disk 2.

  Based on the key F9 does not launch the only time where Start menu, and then press the ESC key and then select the options menu start.

  THANKS A MILLION!  Worked perfectly and absolutely right.  I didn't know the F9 option.

• The difficulty to restore my laptop to factory setting.

  I came home one day to find that there was a virus on my HP Pavilion Dv7 - 4009tx Enterainment Notebook PC and since I had important things backed up on my external hard drive I have much better just to restore my laptop back to factory settings, I find the best way to get rid of problems like this. (they rarely anyway).

  So I turned off my phone and then launch it and press F11, the window with three boxes popped up, I already knew what to do but the ability to set my laptop to factory settings was not in the first box where it should be, thinking that I made a mistake I looked on the internet and it said : this is how you do it. Confused out of my mind as to where the option went I tried the three other options available in the "I need help immediately" box and however the laptop has restored back to factory settings, but not completely, programs and software initially provided with the laptop were no where.

  I tired the other method to restore using the Restore Manager, option restore my laptop to factory setting was there to my greatest joy and I clicked it expecting it to be restored, but rather after the restart he come to a window with the restoration of the system and repair the start and a few other options.

  I'm really lost to restore my laptop to its factory originally settings as I had done a few times before. Nobody knows what is happening or what I'm doing wrong. My laptop runs only two years soon which means that it is not that old to have this kind of weird problems and I really need my laptop to do my uni work, I need to fix as soon as I can.

  Hello

  Virus problem has probably corrupted the partition on the computer. In this case, you will be unable to perform a factory reset of the recovery partition.

  You will need to perform a recovery using the HP recovery discs. If you have not created any recovery media after the purchase, you can order online them or directly call the technical assistance for the embedded discs out to you. This operation brings the computer to factory again.

  Here is the link to order online:

• computer inheirerted of father and you want to restore the factory installed vista system but do not know the password of admin fathers

  computer inheirerted of father and you want to restore the factory installed vista system but do not know the password of admin fathers

  Hello

  You should not have a password to reinstall Vista.

  Microsoft prohibits any help given in these Forums for you help bypass or "crack" passwords lost or forgotten.

  Here's information from Microsoft, explaining that the policy:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-security/keeping-passwords-secure-Microsoft-policy-on/39f56ef0-5d68-41AD-9daa-6e6019c25d37

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  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.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  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.
