I've tried going into the control panel and doing it from there, but when I try to reset the system, I'm prompted to insert an installation disc for windows 8. The computer never came with a windows 8 disc.

I recently did a factory image restore on my Dell laptop because I couldn't seem to get rid of a virus on my computer. The factory image restore was completed successfully but now windows will not start up. Startup repair says
"cannot repair this computer automatically-
Problem event name- startup repair offline

Problem signature 02: 6.1.7600.163.85

I performed regular diagnostics on the computer and all tests were passed. I also did a custom diagnostics test on the hard drive and all tests were passed, except for the last test it said "there is no flash drive in the card reader". Which I believe is probably normal?
My computer only came with two disks from the store. One titled 'Drivers and utilities-for reinstalling dell insipron laptop computer software', and the other titled 'Application- for reinstalling cyberlink powerDVD DX 8.3 software for windows 7'. I do not have a cd for windows 7.
Cannot do F12 to do Dell factory Image because of black screen. Therefore am not able to make any choices relevant to accomplish the deed?

Googling reveals a lot of folks with the same problem, some different fixes, and mixed success stories. I've tried several of the fixes with no luck and probably made things worse than they were before (now Defender won't update).....
well i have a very old dell demension 3000, i saw restoring the os with a hidden partition/program created by dell can restore to factory settings. but the thing is if it fails i dont want to go by windows xp/windows vista os operating disk/activation key

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to restore my system back to factory defaults for a while now. I've tried pressing ALT + F10 at startup, but it just beeps loudly and brings me to a command screen, saying:
[ /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN]
I've tried several 'fixes' but have had no luck, I would really appreciate somebody helping me, as it would save me in technician costs.
to put laptop back to factory settings, so I done the Alt/F10 on the Acer logo page to take me to the page to start this. On the Acer eRecovery Management Page I use the restore system to factory default, when I do this I get a message saying D2D32 - Type mismatch and then hangs there forever until you turn it off. I was reading on here about that error code and done what it said to do to make sure that it was enabled and it is.
I have rang Acer and they said theres nothing they can do as it out of warranty, by 24 days
He didnt make any recovery discs and hes pissed at me because this has happened! am not happy myself, as I rebooted 3 other acers with no problems.
Would he need to purchase disks or can they be got free?
A service case resulted in the motherboard being replaced in my T530 running Windows7 Pro. I specified that the disk not be reimaged. Upon return, when I attempted to boot the system, I ended in Startup Repair, which tried to automatically fix the problem and failed to do so. The result report indicated that all hardware tests passed without error and that the one cause was likely "Unspecified changes to system configuration might have caused the problem.".
One tech at Lenovo Support said that a new motherboard requires a reimaging of hd0 and offered ways to reimage back to factory defaults. Another tech suggested I should be able to restore the disk by reimaging with an image I made prior to sending the T530 to the service depot.
My disk image, made with Terabyte's Image for Windows, was of the entire hard drive. I reimaged the drive using a bootable Terabyte 'Image for DOS' with no errors. I have successfully used this procedure in the past to reimage a WinXP system. When I attempt to boot the reimaged T530, I get the same failure as described in the first paragraph above.
I suspect that the failure of the reimaged system might be a Microsoft Windows mechanism to prevent pirating of Windows, but I would have expected the system to boot and then tell me that my copy of Windows was not genuine.
Surely there must be a way to replace a motherboard without reimaging back to a factory image.
Recently I installed trial version of Windows 7 64bits on my Vostro 1014 (which originally had 32 bits Windows 7). I choose clean installation, which erased recovery partition. My laptop came with no CD. I want to restore my laptop to original settings.

When you recieve a laptop from dell brand new you turn it on it goes through
welcome options and account creation after that you are welcomed to windows with all drivers installed and fully up to date.
I have a Dell Latitude D600 which i bought a few months ago second hand, It came with charger and thats it. No recovery disk or nothing. Laptop worked perfect and is a really good laptop. However I have so many viruses on my laptop, I have ran all types of AVG's, adware scanners, and much more. Its cleared alot of the viruses but still the laptop is not working properly.
I would like to restore the laptop back to its factory settings, i have backed up all my data on an external harddrive so its all good. I checked on google and it says something about Pressing F11 + Ctrl or something like that and it has a recovery procedure in the laptop allready. I dont think D600 has that feature and guessing i need a recovery disk. I have looked on ebay and cant find any, Im not even sure what type of recovery disk to get because i found a few, prices were ranging from £30-35 and i cant afford that as i am a student.
Is there a way where i can download some sort of recovery software for dell and burn it onto a disk or something, I looked on google but there is no detailed sources telling me about this,
how i can restore my dell latitude D600 back to its brand new settings without having to buy the recovery disk.
I get my new "Vostro 3360" and I needed to do "roll back" to factory settings but I had some problem:
- I tried to do a "recover / estore" but there was nothing in the list - I already installed the laptop also installed many programs (e.g: office, winscp, irfanview etc.)
- I tried to go through the "help center" on the laptop and same issue - nothing, all empty
- I even try to reinstall from the disk I got with the laptop BUT it didn't found my hard disks... so basically, my question is how can I install the laptop from the included windows 8 cd that I got?
I just want to reinstall my laptop like it was as I got it from the factory

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm used to using Windows Backup to create a system image, in case I have a hard drive failure, so I can return my computer to a certain state.
I have not been able to create a system image on my 15Z with Windows Backup - it fails every time. So I purchased Acronis True Image 2013, but I don't know which partitions to back up to get the equivalent of a system image in Windows Backup.
Here is how my computer was set up by Dell:
Disk 0 : 8.00 Gb Unnamed primary partition
Disk 1 :Â 500 Mb ESP partition FAT32, 40 Mb DIAGS partition FAT32, 500 Mb WINRETOOLS partition NFTS, 453 C: partition NFTS, and 12 Gb PBRÂ partiton NFTS
Had an online chat session to get IE to work.   By the end of the session all the unit would do is cycle in safe mode.   Indicated I should reinstall factory image.  I have done that twice without success.  It begins to reload and still only gets into safe mode and the system cannot do the initial setup in safe mode.  How do I get this thing to boot normally at this time?
