  • HP PAVILION NOTEBOOK 2000: need to reset to factory settings

    I think the operating system was windows 8. At the moment all I get error message when starting upwards, Oxoooo605, for the most part tried everything, nothing works. I can't even do a recovery as its only gives me 10 windows, which I have not installed. Can someone tell me how to put hard back to factory settings? I realize that I won't lose everything, but I need to get this laptop operational. Product number is EOK744UA #ABA. Thank you very much.

    @jaydesgrandma:

    Don't know how you tried resetting, but the instructions are in the linked material: perform a recovery of the system (Windows 8) HP | HP® customer support

    What do you mean by " it's only give you Windows 10"? What this?

    Microsoft, in their eagerness to get Win10 on 1 billion computers, is now FORCING Win10 upgrades to Win8x people running, making it very difficult to do routine Windows Update without updating AUTOMATICALLY to Win10.  If you did yourself updates of Windows, or even worse, if you have updates Windows automatically installs the value, then what would have happened is that (without your knowledge) began the upgrade Win10 in the background - and if that happened, one of the two outcomes could be: (1) your computer would now run Win10 (2) the upgrade would fail, leaving you with a damaged machine.

    If the latter happened, unfortunately, an unpleasant side effect of the upgrade of Win10 is that it can corrupt the OEM recovery on the computer information, and if this happens, the HP recovery function will not work.

    If you tell us more about what you were doing, which could help us understand the problem.

  • Satellite A200-195 - you try to reset to factory settings

    Hello

    After you have backed up all my data, I'm trying to reset my Toshiba Satellite A200-195 back to factory settings, to try to get some of the performance. Internet search has launched a number of ways to do this, but none do not work for me.

    I tried now button 0/F1/F8 when switching on the PC until I get the beeps. But then, the only options I get are safe mode, safe mode with networking or start Windows normally.

    I pressed the F8 key the time Toshiba screen upwards and got through a number of options, including the repair of the system. However, after selecting that, when the dialog box appears, these are all the options I get

    1 Startup Repair tool
    2 system restore
    3 Windows complete PC Restore
    4 Windows Memory Diagnostic tool
    Command prompt 5
    6 restore the full Windows operating system.

    There is nothing obviously suggests a Toshiba Assistant or mentions the factory settings. I tried the last option, which brings up a dialog box telling me that if the pre-installed files are corrput I can use the recovery disks and just the OK option. After clicking on OK nothing happens. I tried several times, but each time waived forward and pressed the stop down or restart buttons.

    I also tried the first 3 options, but none of them gave me an option to reset the default or the other.

    I have no recovery disks and I saw searched the help files for the system backup, can't find anyway to create them - only standard data file backups.

    I don't have any disks that came with the laptop.

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium.

    Can anyone suggest anything, that I have not tried yet please? PLEASE?

    Thank you. :)

    Obviously the HDD recovery partition isn t available on the HARD disk and, therefore, you will not be able to perform HARD drive recovery procedure.

    To retrieve the computer laptop back to factory settings, recovery disk should be used.
    If you n t own this disc, try to order the support on this page:
    http://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    But in case the laptop is too old, you will not be able to order this support more.

  • Satellite Pro L450D - 12 X - reset to factory settings after formatting

    Hello

    I tried upgrading my installation of Windows 7 Professional to Windows 7 ultimate. I ended up format the partition and now Windows will not load and the installation hangs right on 0%. I don't have a disc of recovery for this laptop, is it possible to access the recovery partition on this laptp to reset to factory settings or a restore CD I can order and it will work?

    The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite Pro L450D - 12 X

    Hey Buddy,

    If you have already formatted the Windows partition, you are not able to start the recovery of HARD drive more. Also there is no possibility to access the recovery files and start them, so the pre-installed operating system is necessary.

    The only option you have is Toshiba recovery disc. Only with this drive, you can restore the original settings of the box but I m wondering why you have n t a. It s mentioned in the user manual you have to create yourself

    In any case, just order a disc here and be happy ;)

  • no internet connection after resetting to factory settings

    I have a laptop HP HPG71-449WM.  He has screwed up and wouldn't let me not restore to an earlier point at all so I reset to factory settings.  I don't have a return to the top because there was nothing that I wanted to save.  I can't connect to the internet now, wireless or by connecting an ethernet cable.   It gets an error while going through the initial report put in place where you set your password for the pc, time, etc.  When he arrived at the place to connect to the internet, it gets an error, freezing.  I turn it off and turn it on and it just loads as a normal computer, but impossible to connect to the internet no matter what.  I have reset the settings to factory on 5 times in the last 3 days and get the same problem each time.  I have no recovery disk or whatever it is.

  • Satellite A300 - how to reset to factory settings?

    Hello everyone,

    first of all, sorry for my English, it is not my native language and I do a lot of mistakes, I hope you can understand me correctly.

    My problem is that I have a toshiba Satellite A300 provided with Windows Vista op time after I have bought I installed windows 7 on it (you know, so new that I have to try). Now, my problem is I want to reset my phone. I have the recovery disks, and the folder HDDRecovery D: but my computer cannot read.

    What can I do? I tried a lot of things... How can I reboot my computer to factory settings?

    Hope you can help me,

    Best regards.

    Hi biguri,.

    After the installation of another operating system, you will need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings. That means Vista preloaded with all the drivers and tools you get back if you boot from the recovery disc and follow the on-screen instructions.

    But don't forget to make a backup of the important files like photos, videos, etc., because the recovery disk will wipe the entire HARD disk.

    You have problems with the recovery disk?

  • Pavilion 15-ab043sa: cannot reset to factory settings after the upgrade computer laptop brand new 10 Windows

    I bought 2 new laptops, they seem to be special models not listed is not in the HP support site, purchased from Currys PC World in the United Kingdom.

    First HP Pavilion 15-ab045sa laptop computer 15.6 "-red, upgraded to windows 10 perfectly well and I made a backup of the system while I studied the creation of recovery media (this info must be printed with the laptop in the box, rather than letting the user have to find BTW)."

    The other a HP Pavilion 15-ab043sa laptop computer 15.6 "-blue, for my parents, has turned into a total disaster."

    The two models are the same, except that the first is red and the other is blue, that's why they have different product numbers?

    I was now in a position where the recovery on the D: drive partition is not a factory reset.

    I did not even recovery disks as having the first one to go smoothly, I thought the same thing would happen on the second laptop and I got the recovery disc then.   I tried to create a USB stick recovery, but I had no one who can save the system settings - need at least 32 GB free.

    This occurred as first I started the laptop, made of windows, MS Office 365 updates, added then waiting 2 days for windows 10 to arrive.  When it came it installed fine and then I added a printer driver for an HP printer and made some configurations of the operating system.  At the next reboot showed something was wrong as the boot took over 7 minutes.  As the synaptics app was referenced twice in the tab start Task Manager also had strange things in the system.  Rather than go back to a previous system restore point that I attempted to identify what was wrong and uninstalled all without success.  I then had the opportunity to go back to 8.1 for Windows or "reset the PC.  Not a lot of explanation on delivery to zero and certainly no warning options that the D: partition was no longer valid.  Windows options were "in my face" so I don't think watching HP recovery.  So I chose to run from Control Panel 'Reset the PC and keep the files'.  So, indeed, I now have a clean install of Windows 10 but have lost all applications that were on the factory orginal building.  I see no way to re - install all of these programs and find the license keys.  I have more HP recovery at all.

    So I have no way to put the blue doesn't return to the factory settings.

    Advice please, I want a laptop blue, the same as the red, i.e. Windows 10 with all applications that have come to the factory as well as the correct printer drivers and a time of less than 30 seconds of starting.

    You are not sure if there is anything I can copy from red to blue to get it going again?

    Any help gratefully appreciated, thank you

  • apparent loss of keyboard mouse & and features after reset to factory settings

    Hi people,

    I'm at a total loss on the way to the same approach to this situation. After spending about 10-14 days with various iterations of "The Answer Desk", (hereinafter referred to as the T.A.D.) which include planning a recall, which are often late - sometimes by hours. or sitting on hold and wait until you have increased in the province of Quebec, or the chat option - I'd become fond of cat when I had a keyboard, I could use, but quickly learned to hate using my cell phone to push my words, rather type them. In any case, after having crossed more level 1 and level 2, including many supervisors at two levels, I took notice of the last tech level 2 Guy I talked to and called the store of Microsoft (weapon with a case of referral number, or whatever the correct language is for this). I found 2 Microsoft Stores in Los Angeles, CA - 12,000.000 people and 2 stores with nearby competent technical support staff. I scheduled a visit and was told to put my HP 500-281, i3 processor running at 3.4 GHz, 4 GB of Washington. and a 1 TB hard drive (what they & I called my C drive (although, technically, it's more like C: / / or?).)

    Level 2-ADP technology (which had prevailed of my variously attributed, by the countless service customer and/or technical support agents, both case # s and codes authorization) told me thatto take it to a Microsoft Store, I would be able seized technicians who pourraient & would send me home the same day with a machine works, based on my various numbers of cases assigned to me in T.A. I took the tour (by taxi Lyft in all situations which follows) at The Microsoft Store in Century City, CA.

    For those who ignore it the physical dimensions involved here - each trip using a provider of low cost me less than $25.00 each way (from Pasadena to the West away from Los Angeles). I don't drive, and with the weight and the vulnerability of my HP Tower resulting, it was the only way available to me which has not yet put the computer at risk. I arrived and spent about 45 minutes before I got help. The young woman, Cassi, asked the help of another agent, while trying to start my machine. Long story short - I was told that I have to leave the computer for the more experienced technicians analyze. I was so exhausted at that moment that I took another taxi home, although my practice since 2000 has been to use public transport, walk or BIKE only for my needs.

    I was, naturally, concerned about their progress. I work as a shipper of health and building helps entrepreneurs foresight of the restoration and had been lagging dangerously in the accomplishment of these tasks. Some clients have become so angry that a legal action has been mentioned. During the 4 days that my ride was in the Microsoft store, I spoke with 2 technicians that they worked on my machine. They told me that I would get their notes on the way in which the diagnosis was made. I have even voluntarily undertook the task of installation of 'hundreds' of updates because I was afraid that if I left it until the they could move to install updates a lot, a lot, I couldn't hear the store several days more.

    Everyone dealing with these attempts at assistance seems almost unconsciously act as if time is not of the essence, but rather that your computer isn't the central role and critical that do a lot of our computers. They are almost jaded when suggesting that I have simply bring the machine on L.A. 20 miles so that I can place again blind trust in their attempts already several times to resolve the problems, but also their inability to follow through with notes promised to deliver or demonstrations more rudimentary to convince a customer that he or she is winning a functional computer.

    When I got the computer home, I found that, I could just get insofar as the standard desktop Windows 7, but my mouse and my keyboard seems to be recognized by the Windows 7 operating system. The mouse don't not move the cursor that was sitting just in the center of the screen and the keyboard would make only the main directional functions if I had entered the Boot Manager (F9) or the parameters B.I.O.S. (F10) to start-up before the BONE begins to start. I tried 4 mouse 3 wireless and wired with receptors resets attempts plugged into the USB ports on 1. I also tried a cable and 2 wireless keyboards, spent an hour 1/2 with Logitech technical support without result.

    I'm teetering at the edge of financial ruin while monitoring the female for the insurance company above that now all services purchases made prior to the date of the merger, cunning claimed that, even if she had understood what I said pretty much everything the my time invested far more time and money I had to contribute to the effort, she could not or would not allow any level of cash so that I can return to save what's left of my ability to earn a living. I also started songwriting as he is more naturally evolved with my love of the guitar for 47 years, my hundreds of sets of words which are located in personal folders on the computer I can't access.

    One of you truly talented I.T. people who contribute to these forums you will suggest in any way that I could have the computer to respond to my mouse and my keyboard. You people are the best and I look forward to hearing your thoughts. D. Lyle

    : Marielle case - I would like to express my sincere and heartfelt gratitude for your response to my call for help. It is your interest to my fate who told me going in this awful circumstances. I got 2 notice of permanent failure to broadcast my answers you Google, and so I'm not at all sure of you knowing that I received your thoughts and that he continued to try to save me by using your ideas as a springboard to areas not only loomed in my limited vision of the possible parameters of the problem at hand. Specifically, your mention of the ports currently assigned to a device with a USB connection led by reminder of something I read said that the port used for the 1st time, we use a device that is new to the computer, can get a relatively permanent status as the only port that this device can then use unless you actively change this assignment. Made me continue at any position on a Windows 7/loss of any theme of functionality of the research material. As I was delighted to learn from the past, the forums came in BIG TIME! A post spoke after losing both mouse and keyboard functionality after you successfully reset to the factory settings. The person added that he would have found that devices plugged in USB 3.0 entries on his relatively new machine did not work at all when they had recently performed very well. He tried to connect the elements in one of the entries USB 2.0 at the back of his tour and it was the key - they immediately resumed their functionality. I have imitated this difficulty and was immediately very glad I did. I am currently undertaking the somewhat daunting task to accomplish the many updates to the OS 7. I almost forgot the comforting, veiled darkening I did experience the Office of MS, MS, HP store response, and finally, Assurion response, the insurance company who subscribed the Office Depot warranty protection programs that refused to consider even an answer to my dilemma except to the insist that they send me a box and a label for the shipping of my livelihood who knows where. It has been 7 days and counting and I have yet to even see a UPS truck, let alone one with the element which, once received, starts a ticking of the clock to keep their response time of within 5 days. With no packing material, there will be no reception of any element that would measure their response completely lacking in-same-, a heartbeat at my struggle to keep my livelihood. The lesson I'll take it away from this experience is that he is not a corporate entity multinational US who notices even if all life disappeared - as long as our devices robotic that remained would accept conscientiously their "droppings of concern" as evidenced by their cyclical billing continuous and/or automated calls to solicit 'our' biz repeat. I am convinced that our only chance, as a species, to confuse our way to a better future for all that follow is to cooperate with everything that surrounds us - be all of flora and wildlife or the air we breathe, or H2O which maintains the life here in this sweet spot him all that we call Earth. Thanks for your help and your efforts to maintain these wonderful forums.

  • Satellite Pro P200-1JV - how to reset to factory settings?

    Hello

    I'm trying to reset my Satellite Pro P200-1JV to factory settings. I tried pressing reset and turn on, also tried pressing F8 and turn on and no system recovery doesn't happen as I was told that it should.

    I put everything in place of discs with it and it's a Vista operating system.

    Help, please!

    Thank you!

    Al

    Hi alanmanley,

    Why you press the zero key to restore factory settings?
    You can restore the factory settings if you go into the advanced Windows (F8) boot menu and select Repair my computer. Then will begin the recovery of HARD drive and reinstall Windows.

    In addition, this option is available on OS preinstalled Toshiba and the recovery disc, that you create yourself as mentioned in the user manual.

    Last but not least check this article:
