Dell Inspiron 1545 :: Unable To Restore Factory Default

Mar 11, 2013

This laptop has become very sluggish and I want to restore to factory default, however, contrary to the instructions on the website,when I press F8 I can get to a Advance Boot Options  menu where there is an option to repair your computer but if I select this is takes me only back into Windows no "list of system recovery tools is given"....

The other options are Safe Mode, Safe Mode with networking, Safe mode with command prompt, Enable Boot Logging, Enable low resolution video, Last known good configuration ( advanced), Directory Services Restore Mode, Debugging mode, Disable automatic restart on system failure, disable driver signature enforcement and start windows normally.                           

The only disks which came with the laptop ( bought new) were For reinstalling Cyberlink Power DVD DX8.3 Software for Microsoft Windows 7, P/N 5RMCO Rev A00 and  For reinstalling Dell Webcam Central Software...

Acer :: Restore System To Factory Default

Nov 7, 2009

I am planning to restore my laptop to its factory default because of some problems like the "Windows Update" window is all grayed out. I tried finding solutions in the net but it doesn't solve the problem so maybe system restore may do it but inst going to remove all the programs, like MS Office? Are the files saved in drive D also be removed? My laptop has MS Office already when my mother bought it. I have Acer Aspire 5730z.

my computer is a

Inspiron 14R (N4010, Early 2010)

I have an Inspiron N5040 just over one year old. To do a Factory Restore I followed the instructions and pressed <F8> after a power up.

In gets to the Advanced Boot Options menu. When I select Repair Your Computer it gives 2 options something like

If I select Repair Windows it loops back to the same screen and does not do anything.

What should I do? The laptop did not come with restore CD's or DVD's...

Dell Inspiron 1525 :: Factory Restore Not Working

Jan 25, 2009

I bought my new latop in October and would like to restore it to it's origional factory settings, however I have been unable to do this as I have been told a number of different actions to try by PC performance and none of them work: 

First I was told to press f8 on a reboot then select repair my computer so I pressed f8 and there was no option to repair my computer;

Second I was told to restart and press f12 insert a blank dvd and boot using cd/dvd which would create a boot disc which in turn would restore to factory settings, after choosing boot from cd/dvd my laptop just restarts as normal without creating a boot disc;

I was then told to burn recovery (which was on a small drive D:) to disc first then boot from cd/dvd which has no effect again windows starts normally.........

So I had a look around this recovery file and found a setup icon that said factory restore when I clicked on it, I got the message ERROR: the factory image could not be found please reinstall using the operating system media dvd.

I have been looking all over the internet and on Dell for the past 2 hours with no luck.  I have a Dell Inspiron E1505.  I want to wipe everything off this laptop except what was on it when I purchased it.  I keep reading hit F12 or control F11 and then click Restore.  There is no Restore anywhere.  I have searched and searched and I can't find anything.  I have found that a lot of other people don't have that option either.

Dell Inspiron 1420 :: Restore To Factory Settings Using Vista

Jan 18, 2015

I am trying to do a restore to factory settings on my Dell Inspiron 1420 using Vista. Unfortunately the F8, F11, F12, and all other F options do not work for me (something about a deleted partition??). Soooo, I am trying to locate the discs to use to do this action. I have heard that those are free under warranty, but my computer is from 2007 so is obviously not under warranty. I have done some digging around on the Dell website and have had a difficult time locating any such discs.

Dell Inspiron Mini 1012 :: Netbook Factory Restore?

Aug 9, 2011

My sister has an Inspiron Mini 1012 Netbook (Windows 7 starter etc etc) and I need to action a Factory Reset.

My issue is, there doesn't appear to be any option for F8 when the netbook boots up.

I've googled the issue & it appears many people have had this issue.

I've tried the simple F8 & F10 options, along with FN + F8 &/or F10, Ctrl +F8 &/or F10 etc etc.

I'm at my wits end with this now as it doesn't appear to enter the recovery option with any of these functions.

There is definitely a recovery partition to the netbook, and the most annoying thing of all.......

I actually managed to restore to factory settings on this netbook no more than 6 months ago!!!

Dell Inspiron 1545 :: Windows 7 Not Starting After Factory Image Restore

Feb 20, 2013

Dell Insprion 1545

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 01: 6.1.7600.163.85

Problem signature 02: 6.1.7600.163.85

Problem signature 03: unkown

Problem signature 04: 21200839

Problem signature 05: Autofailover

Problem signature 06: 3

Problem signature 07:Failure during setup

OS version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1

Locale ID: 1033" 

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.

Dell Inspiron 1440 :: Any Way To Do Factory Restore When Menu Option Doesn't Show Up?

Jan 4, 2012

I'm trying to do a Dell Factory Restore on my Dell Inspiron 1440 Vista laptop. I did a manual reinstallation some days ago, but only halfway through as I got confused with the drivers to install and messed up on the installation sequence, and thus started having driver problems again. Now, I don't see "Repair your computer" on the Vista Advanced Bootup options menu, even though the partition is still there intact and undamaged.

Any way to work this out ? I think I saw an article where doing a lot of steps through command prompt made the Factory Restore work, even when it does not show up.

Acer :: Bypassing Program Installation When Returning To Factory Default

Apr 8, 2009

I'm trying to recover my friend's Aspire 5100 to factory default. I booted with the factory default CDs he had made. The problem i'm having is that when Vista starts up and the Acer programs are being installed (a 5 step process) the installation seems to freeze on step 4 (the eRecovery installation part)

I rebooted the computer and now when vista starts it begins trying to install the remaining 2 stages of the ACER setup.

Is there someway around this problem.

Basically, I'm wondering if i can eliminate this process and just install that stuff manually. Vista seems to have reinstalled fine, but i don't know how to get around the ACER setup.

I wrote Acer about the problem and all they could suggest was using the recovery on the hidden partition, which i'm pretty sure isn't there.

Dell ::with Factory Restore?

May 12, 2010

I'm trying to restore my SXPS16 back to how it was when i bought it using the recovery partition. But when I go to the advanced boot menu the option to do the factory restore is missing.

I know I can do a clean windows install using the CD that came with it but I'd rather just have it the way it was when I first got it.

Does anyone know of a way to fix this, or otherwise, is there another way to do a factory restore?

Dell :: Factory Image Restore

I am trying to restore my laptop (studio xps 16) to factory settings using the recovery image. If I look in my computer, i can see C and D drives.

D is my recovery partition with 7gb full out of 10gb. This is good and dandy except when i open the D drive, there is one folder that says RECOVERY that is empty. Why is it empty when there are 7gb's of files in there? I already have hidden files shown
