You try to reset the Acer Aspire One mini computer laptop to the factory settings (xp)

I have a mini-netbook Acer Aspire One with Windows XP. There is no CD drive.

I enabled d2d in bios menu, and then click Restart I use the alt + f10 as instructed, Nothing helps - it creates is a horrible beep or mark a break on a mainly black frozen screen and a few small images scrambled to the top.

I bought only the laptop computer 2nd hand and I fear there may be spyware on it - it does not open programs such as Acer eRecovery Management or AVG 8.5. And due to the fact he does not allow me to use google chrome/firefox, but a somewhat obscure version of Internet Explorer.

With these factors, a reset to factory settings is my best result and what id prefer.

I want to reset it to factory settings. Help, please

Hey Vinny,

I suggest that contact you Acer for help on this one.

  • reset computer laptop back to factory settings

    HOW CAN I RESET MY LAPTOP BACK TO FACTORY SETTINGS

    Hello

    Judgment of the laptop.  Start typing away at f11 as soon as you press the power button to start the Recovery Manager that you can then use to reinstall the operating system.

    Alternatively, if you have created a set of recovery disks, insert the first disc and restart the computer to start the process.

    Either way is fine.

    Kind regards

  • Reset the factory settings and Take Back up to 8.1 Windows

    Hello

    I have an older 17 inch HP DV7 laptop which is still in very good condition. Currently, it has a minimum on it software and is for Windows 8.1.

    I would like however to wipe back to factory settings which bring to Windows Vista, I think, but I put it to update all the way up to 8.1 Windows online.

    How can I then bring it back up to 8.1 so I have a chance to try to sell for a few hundred dollars.  I don't want these windows licenses more as I have since bought another laptop and bought all the software out there.

    or do I just take the chance and leave with Vista and see if someone wants to and that he organized to upgrade themselves.

    I don't know how to find the relevant licenses for 7 and 8 now on this laptop.

    Thank you

    Trish

    Hi Trish,

    If you post the complete model number, we can look it up on the card to see what came with the laptop.

    It should also have a Windows sticker on the bottom or in the battery compartment that will tell what was the operating system.

    If you upgraded each time through Microsoft online, then they would have sent you a key for every new update in your email. At least you reached a physical disk to load from who should have a key in the case somewhere.

    8.1 update from 8 doesn't have a key.

    Did you burn your original recovery disks before you start the upgrade?

    You will need those to return the laptop to factory. Although you still have the recovery partition in place on the disk, the bond that him was probably broken when you upgraded. If so, you will not be able to access the recovery at Startup Manager via the function key.

    Improvements to the OS you have purchased and installed in the computer is not good on this laptop and not another computer.

    If you have the possibility to return the operating system to original but do not have access to the improvements now, I don't worry about this. Resale value on old systems are weak despite everything.

    If you do not have your recovery discs, you can load a regular copy of Vista (if you can get one) and use the key on the sticker that is located on the laptop to install it. You will need to enter the drivers online first and then save them so that you can install after.

Am I missing something from my pc? but in any case when I continue and click Yes, I always want to do a factory reset it just continues to reset to factroy windows and says some files are missing from your windows installation or recvorery will provide these files.

  • 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.
