Z1 HP: Restore to the factory settings without disc

Similar Questions

• After a restore to the factory settings, where personal files are?

  I recently had a problem on my laptop (gateway) that prevents Windows to boot the system.  I went through the automatic tests on splash screens.  Files were good, the disk check was good, went to a restore point, but still was not able to start.  I got a message that there was no specified "configuration change".  So I chose the option to restore factory settings.  I didn't need a disk to do - it took place without no boot disk required.  There was a message related to the restoration who said that my files could be stored on the hard drive partitioned part.  I couldn't get to my personal files anyway, so I decided to take the chance to do the restore and hope that Windows would save my stuff.  Well, Windows is running, but I can't find my files.  The page of my computer shows 2 hard drives, 'Local' and 'Recovery', but I don't know how to access recovery or if my files are still there.

  Is there a chance that my stuff is still in this machine, or I'm just the GROUND?

  Thanks in advance for any kind souls who can solve the riddle!

  Hello

  "Recovery" partition will be the software that was used to perform the recovery to factory settings.

  We should never touch except to make recovery disks, failure of hard disk for you to reinstall Vista on a new hard drive.

  Windows does not save your data when you perform a restore to the factory settings.

  Your recovery software factory settings is provided by the gateway.

  It is an Option in their software.

  It is the gateway to this topic information.

  "Restoration with automatic data backup.

  http://support.gateway.com/s/software/MICROSOF/Vista/7515418/7515418su532.shtml

  All files and existing files are copied to the C:\Backup folder on the hard drive and a new copy of Windows is installed.

  You will need to contact Gateway Support and ask them where to find your data saved their recovery process if the information above did not save where gateway said it would.

• Cannot restore to the factory settings

  
  

  I have the Acer Aspire 7741z laptop. The computer has frequent problems, and I want to restore it defaults. I've already saved important files and had planned to do a full restore to the factory settings, but the eRecovery program does not work for me. It starts the process, says that it needs to restart, check I want to replace the data on the hard drive and restarts. The problem is, it just restarts. No recovery process, no reset factory default. Alt + F10 during boot process does nothing.

  I checked the partitions still exist, and I made no changes to the system since the purchase (about formats, etc.). Of course, I'm no longer under warranty period, it seems getting direct support from Acer is not going to happen.

  If anyone can help? I really want to restore this laptop to its default settings.

• Reset to the factory settings without restoration. Why do I see previous contacts?

  I have a new 5 iPhone.

  I added 6 contacts, 2 new downloaded applications. Saved on iCloud and iTunes.

  I had a very old Apple ID with an email address that I no longer use.

  I created a new Apple ID online by using this:

  Change your Apple - Apple Support ID

  Probably because of something, that I was wrong, there is a conflict between this new Apple ID and one on my iPhone.

  No problem. Because I only had 6 contacts and two additional applications, I decided to reset to the factory settings. I do NOT accept the offer to restore a backup.

  So I guess I now have a new phone out-of-the-box.

  In fact, my 6 contacts were always present. The two extra apps were not present.

  I would be very grateful if someone could explain why the 6 contacts are always present.

  I wonder how many other things could be hiding somewhere, which would not be present out-of-the-box.

  You can use a computer and connect to https://www.icloud.com/ and check the Contacts app it (under the two identifications of Apple as I'm not sure of the exact sequence of events that you did). If they are there and if you have settings > iCloud > Contacts under tension, which could explain from whence they came. With this setting, any changes to the Contacts is immediately synchronized between iCloud and the phone as soon as it is connected to iCloud.

• How to extract data from your laptop with crushed Windows Vista without restoring to the factory settings?

  > Is it possible to reset to factory settings complete with recovery or partition without a name?

  In General, you have two options:
  Either you try to retrieve the laptop using recovery disk as described here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
  or you will recover the laptop using the Toshiba Recovery disk which you likely has not been created in the past using Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. Right.

  Well, if the recovery of HARD drive does not work (whatever the reason), then you must use the recovery disc. If recover disk has not been created in the past, you can order the CD here:

  How can I get inside this computer?

  Thank you

  Hello

  See if you can remove the Admin password - see here.

  Once done, try option 1 in my previous post.  Otherwise, the only other options are the order of disk recovery or so laptop comes with Windows 7, try the following.

  There may be a work-around if you have (or can borrow) an installation disc Windows 7 at retail which is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, it comes to the retail version accurate, you would need.

  If you have access to it, just use the retail disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key on the underside of your laptop when requested and when installation is complete, use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want just a new installation of Windows 7 without the software load additional delivered normally with OEM installations.

  Hi stab them.

  I think that I n the new good t for you: restore factory settings without Toshiba recovery disc isn t possible in your case! :(

  First of all I think it's normal to s no recovery disk is delivered with the laptop as you will need to create them yourself using the Toshiba recovery disc creator. That is why it s recommended using high quality as Verbatim DVD-R media.

  I think that the only option to recover to factory settings is to order a new Toshiba recovery disc.
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  I put t understand why you didn't create this disk, because after the first boot, if you shut down the computer area, you get the following message:
  + Important INFORMATION +.

  + your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair.
  + your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly.

• Satellite L350D-213 - restoration of the factory without disks

  Hello

  I came to this page because the Web, so many people say you don't need a disk and many others say that you do! {Massive headaches} CONFUSED!

  After last week, ending up with the UKASH virus on my computer, a friend helped and explains to go into MSCONFIG in safe mode and disable all, then I could finally get into my normal settings and do a scan to wipe it. I ran ad-aware, but later removed that he had fallen behind EVERYTHING, including IE. Then, I saved all my stuff and deleted from my computer to make room. I then did some general research and followed the instructions. "speed up my performance" followed by a few scans/clean ups and Defrags.

  I don't remember what I did to remove panic and difficulty Ukash and performance thereafter, except that I know that some applications do not work, because of a name of a file I know I deleted as 'my speed' and some I do not know why they do not work.

  After spending TWO WEEKS on this issue, it is better, the UKASH went, my performance is faster BUT the strange problem of a file, and I'm done with him! I want to do a factory restore to put all rights that I can and have done wrong.

  My question is; Can I do a record of WITHOUT restore factory, I don't remember if I've ever had a recovery disk, but if I did, I don't have any him more as they have become lost or misplaced.

  What are my options?

  My biggest fear is I'm at half way through the restoration of the factory and it prompts for a disk and I don't have. I also drive HARD recovery on my laptop on drives C and D.

  (System Restore does not work for me either, I have no restore points or can I create one, so another reason why I need to do a restore of the fctory)

  Kind regards.

  In your situation you should not spend a lot of time speculating on what the people are saying. In the user s manuals document described clearly how it works with the recovery image installation, creating recovery image and what your options are.

  In my opinion the best solution for virus affected system is new and clean install of the OS. It's certainly more radical solution but, I think of easier and faster way to have own OS again. The first step is the backup of the data, if possible and recovery image installation (factory settings).

  Recovery image can be installed on two ways:
  1 as described on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm HARD drive recovery facility
  2 with recovery disk created recovery image installation

  I presume you didn't create this disk so that you can do now is to order on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  In any case, try it please with option 1 and send feedback.
