I've used this video 3 times in the past 3 years and it's help me out a lot. Each time I tried redoing it it kept asking for a restore disk, but when in doubt I come here
Thanks a lot man. First video I found. I really needed this for my mom. She got her laptop all messed up. She had serious back surgery and needs her lap top while she recovers. I appreciate you
Thank you very much! You really helped me figure out how to fix my computer. I bought it at a pawn shop for my son for school and could not figure out how to fix it so he could do his work. I understand the ranting because I also have a Dell that went down and they wanted to charge me 150 dollars to go step by step to troubleshoot the issue. I love youtube because you can find tutorials that save you big time. Thanks again.
Thanks man. This was easier than talking to customer service. They couldn't do it. They told me go back where I purchase it and have them do it for me.
I went to the computer shop and they wanted me to pay £50 for them to fix it. I asked the bloke on the desk what they were gonna do to it and he said 'restore it to factory default.' You just saved me £50 :) Thanks!
My laptop didn't work for a while then I cried because my laptop is my life, then I watch videos on RUclips but they didn't help I kept trying and finally I found a video that was actually legit, Thank you very much biggonyou u saved my life
Thank you. I have fixed a few computers (restoring to factory state) but could not remember how to do it on an asus. I was not reading the on-screen prompts correctly, but your video pointed out the correct sequence for me. good job making this video!
Thanks buddy my ASUS G75V died right in the middle of finals and it just died again a few weeks later. I think it's a problem with my HDD. Found this last time just by chance but this time your video came up first. It helped allot. Mahalo!
well done . excellent video and solution. Thanks. I just spent 2 days trying all kinds of solutions ., all useless. Till I stumbled on your video. ASUS is useless, this is the last time I purchase from this manufacturer. Again WEll Done and many thanks
Just wanted to say thanks a lot for the help. The video made it easier and gave me confidence to restore my ASUS Laptop. Everything is good here. Hope you had luck with your computer.
The only problem is that it says i need the disc but i don't have one. It was already installed when i got the computer... i leaved a like tho cuz it seems this was helpful for other ppl. Cool tutorial
Thanks a lot! I had to restore my computer and all the other tutorials included windows 8 or a dell, but this one is the be. I give a thumbs up and you earn a subscriber
One question...does this method allow you to work-around not having a recovery disc? Obviously your instructions didn’t mention a need but I see it in your description so need to clarify before I do this!!
Thanks for the vid. This is my last option, been tearing my hair out for past 3 days. Feel like throwing my computer and printer out the window and going to live in a cave, back to basics.
I have to admit that Asus restore and backup just so different from the rest o.o I was so frustrated with the speed and stuff, but Tyvm! You make my day :)
That i can agree 100% with you, as a matter fact purchased at least 2 or more for customers since, My ranting and gripe is with support techs, mainly Asus but same goes for all the other manufactures. Just becoming more and more difficult when there is an actual hardware issue, and you need it replaced.
Thanks man huge virus hit then I couldn't even close it because of a stupid command which made it so I couldn't close the command and it was on an infinite loop! But thanks my computers back to normal! New like!
Thanks a lot for this video. I was up all night trying to fix my laptop and then i found your video. The only problem I'm having is that now i can't connect to my internet wirelessly and i know my wifi is on. The only options it is giving me are a broadband connection or a dial up connection. Can you help?
Great advise to get my retarted Asus Eee Pc Fixed. Thanks for the help. Anymore advise please make more videos for this type of computer i'm up for learning more how to videos.
Thanks man, saved myself frustration on getting some copy of windows, writing it on a memory stick etc... But yeah. Thanks! Asus has pretty epic value, huh?
Thanks for the reply I know your trying ur best to inform us, about the problem. Anyway regarding Asus notebooks there a good brand intact I have 3 Asus ntbook & 1 lenovo, there working fine. Maybe 2 out of 10 there there well a problem even apple is not that perfect . Anyway thanks for the reply. God bless and more power to ur channel.
This will be the 3rd time I will be reloading the SWR on my Asus. Its been a long living laptop but every couple of years the usable space on the hard drive shrinks to nothing - even though there is no data on it!
Cool vid i have the same asus laptop i called for repair they said i will have to buy the plane to fix my laptop i press the button like you did it work for a w
Well I took a risk the reset did everything you recorded but after that, my laptop now seems to be looping between “laptop is setting up for its first use” screen, then welcome screen, opens up windows for a min, then I get a reconfiguring the system please wait screen. Although I did just notice it seems to be adding a program to my desktop every time so I’ll just wait a couple hours and report back on status then. Fingers crossed!
Your Fast Life! I will agree in a sense i do recommend mac for certain people, but i have to reload them from issues at times, see videos. thanks for feedback.
biggonyou : Computer Whisperer One thing I find is no group of people have more excuses than MAC users. They got an excuse for EVERYTHING. If MAC was causing cancer they would say "Not everybody trying to live forever. Just like how some smoke knowing they can get cancer, some people are OK with MAC Cancer. It's preference". I swear. LOL Then, when I run into problems figuring out basic things on MAC,the MAC folks can't help either. ROFL
try the link i added to bottom of video, only place i know of right now, not super certain they will have the exact copy of windows 8, but worth a shot.
HOW do u reset all info in your asus laptop im vey counfused and i need help wen i turn my asus laptop on alot of stuff pops up and wen u go on charom it douse not go to reagulargoogle apps it gouse to instergrame/twitter/tumblr and more unnown apps that have not used in the past PLZZZ I NEED HELP FAST...AND THANK UUUUUUU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!
Ok after further scrutiny, I got to the point where it's now saying this: The request cannot be performed because of an l/0 device error. See the system Event Log for more info. There is currently no extended partition to create the logical drive in. Create an extended partition then try again. What do you think is the best solution?
............the "recovery options" and on there its got... 1,Startup repair 2,system restore 3,System image recovery 4,windows memory diagnostic 5,command promt But there is no reset to factory settings or anything like that, i tried the system restore back to as early as it goes which was in November 2012 however the system restore won't work neither it comes up with an error saying it couldn't find the specified file on all restore points, should i reset with fresh install win7 ? Thanks
That's possible but very rare, check in your bios settings and make sure that you have AHCI and not IDE selected or raid. This is very unlikely i would be willing to bet you have a bad Hard drive or some sort of hardware issue not uncommon, usually on drives 8months or older like the one in this video (8 months) it happens often. (a restore shouldn't have done anything but re installed windows period, if you followed all steps correctly.) keep me posted.
Let me make sure I understand your answer. If I've installed a new blank hard drive and run the OEM restore DVD, after the process is complete, the new hard drive will have the recovery partition, just like when it was factory new? So future restores could be done from the hard drive without using the recovery DVD? Asus states on their recovery help page not to delete that partition because it can NEVER be recreated. Obviously if the drive crashes the partition is lost. Thanks for your reply.
No during the reload from DVD, you will not have a recovery partition on new hard drive you can create your own, also you will need the drivers for your laptop unless DVD came directly from asus and is meant for your laptop. On the bright side an original clean install is almost always better than a recovery load hands down is the best.
This is all fine and good but if this is run and you have made a partition for your data.... if the machine goes back to factory, do you lose your partition because it wasn't there at factory setting...
The "recovery options" and on there its got... 1,Startup repair 2,system restore 3,System image recovery 4,windows memory diagnostic 5,command promt But there is no reset to factory settings or anything like that, i tried the system restore back to as early as it goes which was in November 2012 however the system restore won't work neither it comes up with an error saying it couldn't find the specified file on all restore points, should i reset with fresh install win7 ? Thanks
I did this and it 'combined' my two hard drives into one. Is this bad? Is there any way to revert it? And why did it do it? I did the first partition one
Thanks for this helpfull video. But sadly I got another question, I can't find the answer anywhere because my situation is very odd. My asus' screen is broken and I always pressed the fn+f8 combo to connect to an other screen. After I did this reset to factory thing, I rebooted my computer and quickly pressed fn+f8 and I saw: resuming windows. After that a black ( cmd alike ) screen pops up with a white underscore and then my connection with the extended screen falls out. Now the thing is from this point I don't know what my computer is doing, do I need a CD or something? Why can't I use the fn+f8 buttons anymore? Could you guide me blindly trough it if it's something I have to do? Tell me. Thanks a lot!
@biggonyou I did every step but now it's a looping cycle, setup your computer to first use, configuring the system, and restarts itself..ect ect, is this normal?
im pretty sure my hard drive is bad because ive done 3 system restores and its defenitley on the hardware side like you said but i dont know how to fix it, its a kind of old computer i built it about 5 years ago
when i hit f9 i can't even view the menu just goes Automatically and starts Loading Windows for reset.+ it did not DELETE my personal files.it just took everything else off, which i want all to be cleared
I've used this video 3 times in the past 3 years and it's help me out a lot. Each time I tried redoing it it kept asking for a restore disk, but when in doubt I come here

Thank you so much! I stumbled across this on accident because my laptop was stuck in an infinite loop from a factory reset. This helped me so much.

@@biggonyouTechWhisperer excuse me sir can you help me with my asus laptop?

@sher khan Yep, definitely was just very angry when i made this video.
Worked on my Asus desktop with windows 7 Home Premium. Thanks!
Sorry video didn't help try this download a windows repair disc, or complete windows ISO image. got them in every language. added to video comments.
Thanks for the vid. This is my last option, been tearing my hair out for past 3 days. Feel like throwing my computer and printer out the window and going to live in a cave, back to basics.
I have to admit that Asus restore and backup just so different from the rest o.o I was so frustrated with the speed and stuff, but Tyvm! You make my day :)
Okay it did delete my viruses! Thanks so much, my PC is like brand new!
That i can agree 100% with you, as a matter fact purchased at least 2 or more for customers since, My ranting and gripe is with support techs, mainly Asus but same goes for all the other manufactures. Just becoming more and more difficult when there is an actual hardware issue, and you need it replaced.
For a system restore yes, but this method is for full image reload, all files will be lost, system will be just like it came from box or factory.
Thanks man huge virus hit then I couldn't even close it because of a stupid command which made it so I couldn't close the command and it was on an infinite loop! But thanks my computers back to normal! New like!
doing this to mine rn which had the same problem, hope this works

You can give it a shot, also try hitting F8-then troubleshoot my PC and it should give you some options on reloading.
Well I took a risk the reset did everything you recorded but after that, my laptop now seems to be looping between “laptop is setting up for its first use” screen, then welcome screen, opens up windows for a min, then I get a reconfiguring the system please wait screen.

@muskaan farooq, do you mean it freezes? can you power down and repeat process?

the prompts on the reset screen for my laptop are different. is there a different reset process for different models?
Ok after further scrutiny, I got to the point where it's now saying this: The request cannot be performed because of an l/0 device error. See the system Event Log for more info. There is currently no extended partition to create the logical drive in. Create an extended partition then try again. What do you think is the best solution?
Friend, thank you very much , you saved my life
ricardo castillo rios glad your still alive :) Thank you so much for follow up feedback.
Thanks man this helped so much.
no problem thank you
biggonyou Just tell them you have done it... that's what I do especially with HP. You did it, and the problem still persists.
Nick Ellis I usually do and had done in this case also, but they wouldn't do anything further unless i went through steps! repeatedly it seemed.
I did the press F9 button rapidly but it still remained saying,'Failure in Configuring Windows'. Is there a solution for fixing the failure?
............the "recovery options" and on there its got...
1,Startup repair
2,system restore
3,System image recovery
4,windows memory diagnostic
5,command promt

if it was faster when u brought it yes. keep in mind everything will get erased. alternatively you could try defragmenting your pc
Thanks for telling us that hack it really helps me with my computer

thanks man. your video helped me a lot !
no problem glad i could help.
Thanks for this helpfull video. But sadly I got another question, I can't find the answer anywhere because my situation is very odd. My asus' screen is broken and I always pressed the fn+f8 combo to connect to an other screen. After I did this reset to factory thing, I rebooted my computer and quickly pressed fn+f8 and I saw: resuming windows. After that a black ( cmd alike ) screen pops up with a white underscore and then my connection with the extended screen falls out. Now the thing is from this point I don't know what my computer is doing, do I need a CD or something? Why can't I use the fn+f8 buttons anymore? Could you guide me blindly trough it if it's something I have to do? Tell me.
Thanks a lot!
If you restore your computer, is microsoft office and all that stuff then on your computer ?
I tried all the steps but it wouldnt pass from the 20% then suddenly a white screen appeared withe the word error
Thanks , it worked with my laptop thanks a lot
Rob after it says 0 percent completed, it says Diskpart has encountered an error. It won't proceed from there
@biggonyou I did every step but now it's a looping cycle, setup your computer to first use, configuring the system, and restarts itself..ect ect, is this normal?
im pretty sure my hard drive is bad because ive done 3 system restores and its defenitley on the hardware side like you said but i dont know how to fix it, its a kind of old computer i built it about 5 years ago
Well this help with a lost admin password? I don't have any files on the laptop, just need admin access
Kaleigh Lucas i have the same question yet have no answers
when i hit f9 i can't even view the menu just goes Automatically and starts Loading Windows for reset.+ it did not DELETE my personal files.it just took everything else off, which i want all to be cleared
Alright it have been fix!! Thank you so much!
