The HP Recovery Manager is accessed from the Start Menu, or by pressing the F11 key as soon as you power on. Recovery Manager can be used to restore to factory specs and can also used to make Recovery Disks.
Some companies have made mods, but you still get a fresh start with the factory defaults or out of the box condition when you do a restore. You just have to remember to backup important data and files.
Depends on the make and model of the computer. Some have restore disks and others have you press F11 or some other key when the computer first starts. A menu should then appear with some options. You can check the manufactures website for more details. Hope this helps.
You can restore your Acer to factory settings using the second partition. You can also create a set of restore CDs incase the second partition fails. Important note to remember is that all stored files, data, and installed programs will be lost when restoring. Start the Recovery Management which is program that should already be installed. Hope this helps.
Most recent laptops have a partition with an image on their hard drive that can be used to restore back to factory settings. The process instructions can be found at the manufactures website. If that is not aqvailable you will have to re-install the operating system. You will need the operating system install files from some external device.
Could be a number of things from hardware failure to software corruption. I usually keep an updated image and just restore from that. Windows is a beast and requires a lot of maintenance to keep it running well. I suggested my daughter and her husband get MACs and they are now very happy now with their MACs.
Emachines come with two different types of recovery programs. One is hard drive recovery and the other is disk based recovery. If your system is disk based you will lose all your data or if it a hard drive recovery you can restart your computer and press F11 to start recovery. Recovery will display a menu of options: Should backup your files to prevent lost data.
I followed your 1st step (pressing F12 during start up) and it appears to be running... It's been froze for a few days, I was freaking, but I think with your help I'll get it straightened out. Can't thank you ENOUGH!!!
Some computers have a restore partition that has an image that can be used to restore the computer to its original factory setup. You can research at the laptop manufactures website to find the instructions specific to your laptop. All drivers would be installed so you should still be able to access the Internet.
The 2200 has a restore/recovery disk. If you don't have it you get at the HP site. The restore disk usually deletes all saved data. If you have files/data you need to use a LiveCD or boot disk and copy the files from a hard drive to a flash or external drive. I have videos that discuss using a LiveCD or boot disk for recovering files.
Most newer computers have a partition where a default image is stored. You will have to check the manufactures website to find the procedure for restoring your operating system.
As you might already know the dwm.exe is the desktop windows manager and is part of vista and 7. DWM can over tax some computers when Aero is running. You can switch your computer to Classic Mode which will reducing the system load that dwm puts on your computer. Hope this helps.
Yes, the manufactures have created images of the operating systems so you can quickly restore your system when needed. You might need to research which keys to press and when to begin the restore process.
I do have some DOS video, but config.sys is used with DOS to load sys drivers. If you have a drive problem it is most likely a bad drive not config.sys
Hello, The LG E500 only comes with a driver recovery CD and not an operating system recovery CD/DVD. You will need to either use the i386 folder on the hard drive or reinstall your operating system from a Windows/Vista installation CD/DVD. You might have to contact the manufacture to see if they will send you an install CD/DVD. Hope this helps. Greg
I've owned my gateway for 3 or 4 years. Just scan through all possible keys at startup by holding ctrl+alt. and work your way through the F keys while holding ctrl+alt. May take a few startups but you'll find it.
You should be able to reboot to a CD/DVD to perform a new installation. If you can't use F12 to change the boot options to boot from the CDROM you can change it in the BIOS.
@TsukiyomiJuri at start up hold alt and press f10 and you will get a menu that pops up and then select restore to factory defaults. If that doesn't work you will need to order a restore CD form the Acer website.
You need to boot the computer from the USB. During startup you can change the boot start device to USB by either going to BIOS or boot menu. Some computer use the delete or F2 or F12 to change the boot device or enter BIOS.
@mike84alisha83 Compaq has a recovery partition which can be accessed by pressing F10 at startup. You will next see recovery options, repair-restore-factory recovery. Factory recovery will bring you back to factory defaults.
A good way to install Windows is a clean install. This gives you a fresh start by removing all the old files and data. If you are still have a lot of the old apps appearing you can do a partition format, or delete the partition, repartition the drive, then format and install Windows. The format will completely clean everything off the hard drive partition including any saves files or data. Note: Make sure you first backup any important files and data because they will be deleted.
Acer System Recovery Acer has a recovery partition on its hard drive. To access the recovery partition power on and at the white ACER BIOS screen, hold the ALT key and press the F10 key simultaneously to start Acer eRecovery then click Restore to Factory Defauly Settings. Once eRecovery has run, press OK to reboot unit Important Note: All data, files, and programs that you installed or saved will be lost during this process.
You need the computer to select the CDROM as the first boot device. That can be changed in the BIOS. You need to start the computer and press the delete key on most computers to get to the BIOS. Then select the CDROM as the first boot device.
Dell computers can be restored to factory default by pressing Ctrl-F11 at boot-up, however this feature isn't present in the Latitude series. The Latitude needs a System Recovery CD which comes with it, if it is lost, you can order a new one from Dell.
Restore to factory default settings will bring the computer back to way it was when you first got it. All programs installed by you and all data and files will be removed. Make sure important data and files are saved to some backup media.
Some computers have a system restore feature (such as , F12) that resets your computer back to its factory default settings. This also destroys all save files and installed applications. A better option is to create your own restore feature from a second partition where you store files and backup images.
Acer has a recovery partition on its hard drive. Alt and F10 key will start the recovery process. Important Note: All data, files, and programs that you installed or saved will be lost during this process.
I am working on some new A+ objective updates and will include a set of quizzes and tests that will help prepare students for the CoimpTIA A+ certification. The videos should be considered a supplement to your studies and cert prep.
Yes, this removes viruses and your computer runs its fastest when you first install Windows, restore by imaging, or restore to its original factory settings.
I am working on some updates and will be adding a set of quizzes and tests to help with CompTIA A+ certification. I do not charge for any of my resources, but you should get a good A+ Certifcation prep text and use the online material to supplement your learning.
Yes restore CD will restore from an image on the CD. F12 if it works restores from an image on the hard disk. Your Internet connection might need to be setup again after restoring.
Your computer should have a built-in restore feature and the manufactures website should have info. Be sure to back-up important files and data because the manufactures restore will delete all installed programs, data, and files saved since you started using the computer.
The computer should have a restore partition and you should see a blue bar at the top of the screen during start-up. (If you don't see the blue bar the restore function might not be operational.) When you see the blue bar press and hold CTRL and F11 then release both keys. Next you will get a screen that has an option to restore the computer to factory configuration. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Dell for copies of the Dell Restore Disks.
It's possible there is an image of your windows on your hard drive. Boot the computer and look on the screen, you should see an option on the screen that says "Press F10 for Setup". This should help you restore your computer, otherwise you will have to order restore disks from the Dell.com website.
@frenchge yes it was a bad video, i took it to a computer repair and they confirmed but they wanted to charge me $140 dollars to replace it, i decided to do it myself after buying a pci express card ($60)pop it in, fix the resolution and like magic i was back in business, thanks you were a big help!!!!
When you buy a new laptop you usually get a restore CD instead of Windows install CD. However if you did not get one you can contact Gateway or visit their website and order one.
Sounds like it's badly corrupted or the drive is going bad. You should try and reformat the drive and/or do a clean install. Be sure to backup any important files and data.
Hello, Restore disks will delete all your data and files. You will need to repair windows. There are tools to try and retrieve your data before you use the restore disks. Hope this helps. Greg
Your boot files should be on your hard drive (drive c: usually). If you are unable to boot you will probably need to repair, replace, or restore your boot files and maybe your operating system. HP should have either restore/repair disks available at their site. Good luck, Greg
You can try to go back to a good restore point, or install a virus removal program, or use a live boot CD with a virus removal program. I have other videos here that explain how to use a Live CD. If that doesn't work my favorite device is to reimage using Part Image (free) or Norton Ghost. Restoring using imaging takes only a few minutes to restore your computer back to a known good configuration. I have a video on imaging also available. Hope this helps.
Your right, I have taught 100's and 100.s of students for more than 20 years. I maintained over 1000 computers at 7 different sites daily and I did figure out how to keep things running without spending too much time on one computer. I have also seen too many people that are determined to waste valuable time trying to fix a sick Windows operating system. You need to understand all Windows die a slow death and you cannot stop it only prolong it. Windows has a badly designed registry.
Most desktops use a restore CD or DVD and copies should be available at their website. Otherwise, you will have to do an install using an install CD and obtain the needed drivers from the website.
My hard drive must be baked... started when I loaded a security software package and now everytime I turn around there's another problem. Can't update, can't free up disc space and can't run trouble shooting, and can't repair or correct drive errors. Running an HP Envy TS 17 Notebook. Any suggestions about where to start?
Sorry I do not have a video about transferring files. However, if the laptop can connect to a network you can share a folder or drive and transfer files. There are many files and references about transferring files on the Internet. Use Google and search using the keywords "transferring files".
You might first try the free Glary Utilites to repair and clean. Also your computer should have a restore feature that you can find info on at the manufactures website.
Hello, There are LiveCD operating systems, mostly Linux, that you could use to try and retrieve your data. You might try a Google search for LiveCD or data recovery. Greg
When I use the F12 method, does it delete the operating system, forcing me to use a new Windows 7 disk? Or does it revert my computer to what it was like when I first bought it?
@frenchge I conducted a factory reset on a laptop with Windows XP from 2005 and I've tried installing the SP3 Pack on it and it just wont connect to the internet. It's missing the software for it. Do you know where I can obtain the necessary drivers/files?
What if I don't have a reboot disk and the computer only shows : Check cable connection! PXE-MOF: EXITING INTEL PXE ROM. No bootable device-- insert boot disk and press and key It will not do anything when I push F8 or F12 What do I need to do ? Help please...
Gateway Restore System to Factory Default This option restarts the computer and begins restoring back to the factory installation of Windows using Gateway Recovery Management. From the Windows Vista default Start menu, click All Programs, Gateway, and then click Gateway Recovery Management. In the Gateway Recovery Management window, click Restore, and then click Restore system to factory default. Note: All data, files, and installed programs will be deleted.
Check the computer manufactures website and you should find either a download or disk you can use to restore your system. Otherwise you will probably need to reinstall Windows. Again you should be able to find help online at their website.
Hey i got another question that is when i was opening a keygen it said that i should choose default program (media center Windows 7) Then EVERYTHING i try to open sends me to media center like MSN,steam yeah.. everything how do i reset default program...?
my computer took in a virus throw W.O.W. When started up it asks for a product key. But I can go into safe mode but will not let me restore to a previous date. What can I do to reboot and dump this? Preferably not losing any saved files but acceptable to get it up and running. Any information you can give would be awesome. Thanks alot
@frenchge Thanks for the help. I found out with AVG scan instead of Norton the dwm.exe file was a Malware file named dwm.exe, and had more with it like Trojan Horse as well. (Norton missed all of that) So to anyone who needs a free security please try AVG and for a little more you can get their top of the line security edtion, and trust me it's well worth every penny
hi there. i want to ask. i have dell inspiron laptop and it doesn't boot up. when i turn it on it shows start windows normal or launch startup repair. it doesn't meter what i press it still launch start up menu . the system recovery pass everything and the they wont find any problems but i sill cant turn it on. keeps reapyting everything again
@frenchge Yes I click on F12 and I go to my usb. But then their is a black screen with on the upper left a white strip that flickers. The only problem is that I think it also can be at the programs that are on the usb. I'm not sure how they are. 'Cause I donwloaded the programs. But I can't start them.
Sounds like the problem is with the USB. There are some utilities on the Internet that will setup the USB for booting. I also have a USB boot RUclips video that might help.

I do have some DOS video, but config.sys is used with DOS to load sys drivers. If you have a drive problem it is most likely a bad drive not config.sys
Depends on when the image was created, but you should still have any pre-installed software after you perform a restore.

@SuperKaiser3 You can find restore info at the manufactures website and they also usually have restore CDs you can purchase for a nominal amount.
There are some good restore utilities that you can find using "restore partition" or "restore files" as search terms on the Interent.

HP Recovery Restore partition, press the F10 at startup. If that is missing you will have to contact HP for a recovery disk.
@BlogGeekChic Ghost is used to image a good system so when the need arises you will have the opportunity to restore quickly.
No, but it does restore any information or data that was stored on the hard drive partition prior to the image creation.
You need the computer to select the CDROM as the first boot device. That can be changed in the BIOS. You need to start the computer and press the delete key on most computers to get to the BIOS. Then select the CDROM as the first boot device.

There are beep codes during POST to identify failures on startup.
You will have to look at eMachines Support Page on their website for available restore options.
Most laptops have VGA or HDMI connections for external monitors, but the restore process is not dependent on a working monitor.
Just put the disk in and and press F12 during startup so that you can select boot from the CD. Then just follow the instructions on the screen.
