What "factory setting" mean exactly?

Sorry if I don't post in the right place,
But I need to know, I have a friend who would like to reinstall OS in its Tecra A6,
I saw that she had 3 recovery disks.
When I tried, they said, the recovery of factory default software...

I'm afraid I'm the bad choice, cause
I don't know what exactly is the meaning...

Is - to reinstall the OS, only repair or delete OS?.
If I already have search in this forum with keyword default factory, but I do not understand the answer...

Thanks before
NB. Sorry with my bad English

Hello Deborah

All first welcome to the forum and please don't worry about your English. Your ad is understandable and it is the most important thing. My English is also not the best, but I try to help other people in the hope that they will understand what I mean. :)

Each Toshiba laptop comes with the pre-installed operating system. This preinstalled operating system is so-called factory condition. When you use CD/DVD of recovery comes to the installation of the OS you will absolutely have factory settings you get after the first start.

When you start the procedure of recovery first the HARD disk will be deleted and new partitions created.
Last step is installation of the OS. Repair with the installation of recovery option is not possible.

For your info: on the old and new laptops recovery operation is not the same. I don't remember what it looks like on Tecra A6, but if you want to have an exact explanation please explain to me exactly what happens when you start installation of recovery and that the options are there.

Maybe you will see standard and expert recovery option. Please let me know.
Before you start the installation of recovery back up all important data.

I hope you understand what factory settings/condition means now.

If you have any other questions you are welcome.
Bye and good luck!

    What is blue screen and what to do and how to fix this with out taking back to factory setting and reinstalling Vista

    When a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) the system failure occurs, for most users, there not enough time to fully record what he says. the exact text is important for anyone trying to diagnose what is wrong. You can save time when the error occurs then by following the procedure described below.

    If you already did it disable the auto reboot system error. This should help by allowing the time to write the code to Stop error and related information correctly. Select Start, do a right-click on computer select Properties, advanced, system settings startup and recovery, system failure and uncheck the box before automatically restarting. Re-do not enable automatic restart in the event of system failure after obtaining this information, this setting is the best left to not allow an automatic restart.

    If the failure occurs during the initialization of the computer, you need to try a different approach. You can access the Advanced Options Menu of Windows on multiple computers by constantly pressing the F8 (key) key when starting and selecting the option - disable automatic restart in case of system error. This method is not always easy to use because it may be difficult to press the F8 key at the right time. Try again if it doesn't work the first time. On some computers, a different key must be used.

    One or more margins are set to show solidarity with their pages. You want to maintain the current number of pages on these gaps?

    What does that mean? Can someone describe me in detail?

    I have a 249-page book. When I put the pages 'deal with' in the paper configuration dialog box, messages will appear. And not all the pages are changed in face also.

    This means that one or more pages has been selected at one point and 'Allow selected spread to Shuffle' has been disabled to turn off (or the entire document has been defined not to beat by unchecking "Allow Pages from one Document to Shuffle".) The message, in this case, means that unique pages configured to not mix will remain simple pages, if you decide to maintian the number of pages.

    You can specify which pages are configured to not mix by looking in the Pages panel. Their number will be in brackets.

  • 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:

  • Is there a way to restore the system to factory setting

    Original title: Reinstalling windows

    I would like to restore or reinstall the system on my computer because my computer appears to be infected with the virus and there are a lot of problem with the system as impossible to install net framework. I have never create any point before restoration, and the recovery of the manufacturing company (Acer) tool does not work for reasons unknown. I would like to know if there is a way to restore the system to factory setting. And also, if I have the windows 7 key product that comes with this computer (I think that its probably an OEM product key), what I have to buy a new key of product if I reinstall windows 7 on this computer?

    Thank you for your reply,

    However, I tried with the Acer eRecovery Management and there are two problems:

    • I open Acer eRecovery than Management with System Manager. When I click on restore or create Factory default disc, it says please wait and there is an infinite loading.
    • Also, when I use Alt + F10 to open, it says please complete operating system configuration process.

    Scores of recovery and/or access to them can get damaged.

    As the partition recovery is photographed on the hard drive by Acer in the manufacture of your machine, we have nothing to do with changing/fixing this recovery process once there are problems with it.

    As you have a preinstalled OEM license (Acer, Dell, HP, etc.), contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they need to provide for a fee.

    Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

    But Acer does not normally keep recovery disks for you to buy for older operating systems, so it comes down to borrow the exact same edition of Windows 7 DVD to a friend, etc. and by using the product key on the COA sticker on your machine.

    Most likely your account is a pop POP is usually configured to delete messages from the server. If Outlook get message first, he will be gone from the server so you will not be able to get more in Thunderbird.

    http://psychicreform.com/mosports/mosports.XML

    Feed validators are complaining that this line contains a prefix of "independent". I think it's probably because in the second line, "rss.xlmns" it does not mention "atom", only "itunes" - the URL in this line indicates the feed reader RSS how to interpret the tags for this application. Without link for 'atom', the tag is meaningless to readers, and it is marked as an XML error, which is enough to cause the feed unreadable. There is no need to have this line (Atom is a very old RSS reader which I doubt anyone uses now) and you'd better remove that line altogether, either that or somehow insert the URL of the atom, which seems to be "xmlns:atom ="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"" so that the second line would read as follows: "
