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!!!

Acer :: 8930g Restore Disk

Jan 6, 2009

I bought two of these nice big shiny laptops and I as soon as I have started Vista they both want to create restore disks. No prob, I went and bought fresh DVD-R discs!

However, during the process I noticed the time getting longer and longer resulting in over 5hrs to burn a single disc!

I left them overnight as I thought it was a little odd and got the resulting burn error message then all hell broke loose! Both laptops no longer recongised their Blue ray drives! . The only way I could get them to shut down and restart fresh was too pull the power and remove the batteries....

I tried to burn normal files using the same type of discs and they worked fine, so why doesnt the eBackup programme like them?

Their must be a simple solution to this! I can't believe both laptops are faulty with the same issue!

Lenovo B / G Series :: G500 With New Disk - Restore Fails At 42%

Apr 6, 2014

I have a new G500 with a 500GB drive and Windows 8.1 preinstalled. I foolishly thought it would be easy to upgrade it to 1TB, which is supposed to be supported by the hardware according to the technical documents. Using OKR I have created a backup USB disk, ensuring that the option to copy the Recovery Partition is checked. All appears fine, I get a message to say that  the disk was created successfully. I have not taken the recommended option to delete the recovery partition at this point. When I then replace the internal drive, boot from the recovery USB drive and run the restore, it fails at 42% with the message "There was a problem resetting your PC." No other information is provided and the only option available is to power off the PC. I have tried all three USB ports, 2 different 1TB disks and have tried all the options available. I have also tried two different USB disks for the back up.
 
This machine is only 2 weeks old but it is starting to drive me round the bend. As it takes the best part of two hours to fail it is a time consuming procedure.
 
It seems that Lenovo's backup/restore software simply doesn't work. It may be something to do with the BIOS - this machine has a newer version than is available from Lenovo's website.

Acer Aspire V5 :: Unable To Restore From Recovery Disk

Sep 23, 2014

I had to buy the recovery disk for my Aspire V5, when I start I change the bios to UEFI with secure enabled, then I use the disk Recovery System, once that I´m in the Acer Console Management, and I Selected the restore full, a pop up came with the message "Please Change your bios to Legacy¨ so I click on the exit button, and I enter to the bios and select the legacy mode, then the acer console management starts and says that the systems recovery fails because this is only for UEFI mode. So I dont know what to do, I have another 4 disk for the recovery but none of this is a booteable disk. Also I tried with UEFI and boot secure disable and same result .

Acer :: Aspire 5920G Recovery Disk, D Drive And Restore Points

Nov 27, 2008

Im only just burning the factory DVD restore of my system via Acer eRecovery Management. I should have done this a long time ago right when I first recieved my laptop. What ends up on the factory restore DVD?

Another question, my laptop really has noticably slowed down since purchase. I know this is natural...especially as I currently have lots of games installed...only 9GB currently free on C.

This free space varies drastically day to day as restore points seem to automatically be generated by vista. I think this automatically takes place when vista downloads and installs updates. How can I change this? It's annoying as I have a consitently fluctuating amount of free space on C..I frequently delete these points using Tune Up Utilities 2008 which brings me back to the norm.

Also, the D partition seems like a huge waste of space to just leave as it is. There are 103GB free on this partition with only two windows folders existing on there. I have never touched this partition thinking it is there only for disaster situations, like if vista dies and wants to make an image of itself here.
Is this correct or can I move other files onto this partition? Will this increase performance?

Im just trying to increase the speed of my laptop day to day workings. My girfriend was saying that the D partition can maybe be somehow partitioned to speed up the laptop?

HP Pavilion Dv6000 Recovery :: Low Disk Space On Recovery Disk D Drive

Oct 17, 2011

I am so tired of receiving Low Disk Space on recovery (D). I have done everything it asked. Empty Recycle Bin which is EMPTY. I am not a computer wizard but it seems unfair that I have pay over $150.00 year to correct this problem once a year. I have checked a lot of places and it just keeps telling me the same thing. That doesn't work.

HP Pavilion Dv6 Recovery :: Restore Files To New Computer

Jan 4, 2015

I had an HP Pavilion dv6, but some part inside relating to the power failed.  Ultimately, the constant cutting of power caused my hard drive to fail.  I was able to use HP Recovery Manager to back up my files (music, documents, pictures, etc.).  For Christmas, I was gifted a new computer, but it is not an HP.  I tried to restore my backup file to my computer but it says that HP Recovery failed.  I'm guessing the issue is because the new computer is Lenovo Thinkpad and doesn't have the HP Recovery software.  How can I restore my files to my new computer?

HP Pavilion DV6-2117ev Recovery :: BIOS Failure - Not Able To Restore

Nov 10, 2014

My friend's comuter's BIOS seems to be dead. When I turn it on the CapsLock light blinks for 2 times and nothing happens on my screen. I tried to remove battery and power cable for some minutes, but nothing changed. I also removed the CMOS battery and replaced it's RAM, but still got the same problem.

I've searched for solutions on everywhere, and most of the times I finally get stuck on this page. The combination of WIN+B seems to have no effect, something that makes sense as I'm almost sure they've deleted the HP_TOOLS partition.

In the page mentioned above, it's said that "a USB key with an HP_TOOLS volume can be used as an alternative". I really have searched everywhere, but I can't find how to create this USB drive. Where to find an extracted version of BIOS so I could restore from that. The only BIOS That I get from the driver's page is one ".exe" which I have to run it on that computer, which is impossible. 

One last thing to mention is that I've downloaded the "sp61632" which gives me the "HP UEFI Support Environment Setup". When I try to install it on "USB Flash Drive" it gives me an error, but finally I've installed it locally on my computer, and then transfered its files on a USB Drive. 

I renamed that drive to "HP_TOOLS", and the only folders in there are "Hewlett-Packard" > "SystemDiags", and in there can be found 8 items: 

CryptRSA.efi
CryptRSA32.efi
SystemDiags.efi
SystemDiags32.efi
SystemDiags.s09
SystemDiags.sig
SystemDiags32.s09
SystemDiags32.sig

Just mentioning it, cause the total size is 2.5MB, and I can't see if thishas to do anything with the BIOS restore. So, to sum up, I need:

BIOS recovery files
a way to create USB drive with HP_TOOLS

Tried, but didn't work:

restart
remove HDD
remove CMOS battery
replace RAMs
WIN+B combination
WIN+B combination, with the flash drive mentioned above connected

The computer is: HP Pavilion DV6-2117ev

Product number: WB331EA#B1A

Operating system: Probably Windows 7 (I don't think this has any importance right now)

HP Pavilion Dv6 OS/Software :: Cannot Restore Computer To Factory Settings

Nov 20, 2011

I am having trouble restoring my computer to factory settings.  Just to preface this, everytime i restart my HP Pavillion dv6 laptop, it freezes on the HP logo on the boot up.  This freezing only occurs when i restart, if i manually shut it down and turn it on the boot up progresses normally. 

So i have tried to restore my computer to factory settings by using the recover manager and the recovery manager requires the laptop to be restarted.  However, the laptop freezes on the restart so i have to shut down the laptop manually and turn it back on.  This interferes with the recovery manager and i get an error that recovery manager was not properly able to restore my computer.

I have also tried to press F10 on the boot up to enter restore mode.  However, when i hit f10 my screen goes completely black.  The fan and the laptop are running but the screen goes blank. How i can restore my laptop.

HP Pavilion G6 2240SA Recovery :: Unable To Restore To Factory State

Aug 27, 2014

Pavilion G6-SS40SA running Windows 8. I am working on this computer for a friend. Somehow, he managed to get an app on there which ran at startup and resulted in it slowing down internet access to a crawl as well as making the machine virtually unusable . In an effort to get rid of it, he attempted running restore. However, neither destructive or non-destructive options would work. He was getting error messages - firstly 'Unable to reset your PC. A required drive partition is missing', followed by 'The drive where Windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again'. I managed to locate the program that was causing the problem, and uninstalled it. He asked me to reset the computer to factory state, but  unfortunately, this will not work - it starts up, warns that all data will be lost and I confirm that I want to proceed. It then appears to start the process, but almost immediately ends shows a message saying that no changes have been made. Where do I go from here?

HP Pavilion Dv7 Recovery :: Recover Windows 7 Without Disk

Aug 27, 2014

I reinstalled windows 7 home premium on my machine, using the same serial number as the one that came with the laptop (I found the serial number by downloading some software that scanned my computer and told me what it was).After installing windows, it told me that it was not genuine. I imagine that it is because it wasn't a version of Windows that has all that HP software pre-loaded on it. My hard drive still has a "recovery" partition, but what to do with that, or even if I can do anything with it anymore. So how can I make my Windows 7 home premium genuine? Do I have to reinstall another version of windows 7 home premium with the HP software included? Where do I find such download? Since I don't have a recovery disk, can I use that "recovery" partition of my hard drive for something?

HP Pavilion G6 OS/Software :: Hard Disk 303 And 305 Errors

Oct 2, 2014

Recently I began having problems upon starting up my HP Pavilion g6 series laptop. I would get a disc error that would require me to restart with "control, alt, delete." It has now gone to giving me Hard Disk errors 303 and 305. I've been looking around on these forums and it appears that I'm looking at a harddrive getting ready to fail. 
 
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium with an Intel i7-2620M CPU @ 2.70GHz with 6GB of RAM and it's a 64 bit operating system. 
 
Am I correct in assuming that the hard drive is getting ready to fail? If so, how do I replace it and what do I replace it with?

HP Pavilion 14 OS/Software :: Disk Drive Not Showing Up?

Dec 13, 2014

The disk drive seems to be working fine, it opens and closes and runs. But when I put a CD in it, nothing happens. At first I thought I might've accidentally disabled autoplay but it was running, and on further inspection I noticed that the disk drive doesn't show up at all in 'This PC'. No matter where I look on the computer, I've checked all the drives and it seems to be missing everywhere, it's like it doesn't exist.
