Restore To Factory Default Recovery Crashes Before Completing?
Dec 23, 2011
I have an HP dx7 laptop, which was experiencing repeated blue screens with many different error codes as well as periodically restarting seemingly at random. Occasionally it would also have the screen go black (looked like it entered sleep mode), which was unrecoverable.I tried to track down the various drivers and problems suggested by the error codes in the BSOD, but didn't have any success in preventing the blue screens/restarts. Eventually I decided to take the system recovery DVD's from HP, and reformat and reset to factory defaults. I figured at factory default settings if the system was still unstable, it'd point towards a hardware problem as opposed to drivers or other software.While performing the system recovery, it proceeds all the way to where it says "Setup is preparing your computer for first use" and gets to the step of installing drivers, at which point the system restarts. After booting up it then tells me that the installation has failed, and to reinstall. I've done this 3 times now, and get the same issue each time. I cant provide logs or dump files of the blue screens or other errors, since the HDD has been formatted as part of the system recovery.
My computer has been slowly deteriorating the last few days. It first ran a system repair every time I started the computer and would then boot to the desktop, then it would just loop through the system repair screen over and over. I am thinking that my last option is to restore the computer to it's factory default since I have everything backed up on an external hard drive.
I have an Acer Aspire 4730z laptop, upgrading from Vista to Windows 7 Ultimate. Did the upgrade install, but unable to by-pass the eRecovery Management.The 3 options are 1. Restore system from factory default. 2. Restore system from user's backup and 3. Exit. Option 1 and 2 are grayed out. Have disable the D2D Recovery option in the Utility screen. But still unable to by-pass the eRecovery Management. If am unable to by-pass this, my only option is to insert my recovery disk and restore to factory default losing data store on HD.
everytime i try to factory reset my pc with erecovery managment, it never finishes once it gets to the end, it will say installing sysprep - factory mode, 52/52 and never finishes after that. is there any third party software that can factory restore my system? i noticed windows boots just fine even tho i didn't finish the whole software installation process.
when i press alt+F10 to go to the acer eRecovery management program to do so, i cannot select any options except for the exit option ,One option says "Completely restore system to factory defaults and the other says "Restore Operating system and retain user data".
1. I have no OS installed, but BIOS shows that there is a WIN 7 OS, which I know isn't there. 2. I have four partitions; C,D,E,F. 3. The C: is the HP_RECOVERY partition. 4. The C:HP_RECOVERY partition is set to ACTIVE. 5. I have rebuilt the BCD from scratch. 6. There is a BOOT (X partition which shows on the CMD. Someone said its the RAM virtual partition. 7. Upon booting the system gives WINDOWSsystem32winload.exe error. 8. The f11 or recovery manager ain't working.
I would like to reformat my computer to speed it up again. Does reformatting slow down a computer after already being done? I want to keep some of my files, but I will not be using the windows reformat, I plan to use the "restore to factory settings" option. How would I do this? I have a "recovery" drive and I was wondering if I could store the files I want to keep onto that and when I reformat I could just transfer them over. How should I go about reformatting? I know there is a windows option for "restoring to factory settings." And I know that the last time I reformatted I used an hp tool to restore to factory settings.
I have the original discs supplied to me by acer, had to zero out the new HDD because their tech didn't know what they were doing. So now how do I and what is the partition size? acer aspire 5750-completely restore computer to factory default settings on new HDD what is the % of OS partition size (100% is default) but 100gb is minimum for windows (about 40%)
I am running Windows 7/32, IE 9, Acronis True Image Home 2010, and Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 on my (newish) Desktop.y problem is System Restore: can create restore points manually, or they are created automatically when I download MS Updates for instance, and I have a fair list of these. But when I want to restore my computer to an earlier time, the whole process goes through the motions, and restarts the computer, but the error message "System Restore did not complete successfully ..." appears every time. I have tried a boot restore, I have disabled Kaspersky while I tried, but the result is always the same
I am currently in the process of carrying out a system restore and have been for several hours now. The process has been running for 3 hours now and indicates that it is still "restoring files..." And shows no sign of ever finishing. I am not at home so I will need to unplug the laptop eventually and ultimately allow it to power down mid process.
1. Is there a safe way of ending the process? There is no stop/cancel option, however I still appear to be able to use the System Recovery Options in the behind window. (Shutdown and restart buttons are present).
2. What will likely happen when I do need to end the process? Will this cause irreparable damage to my laptop?
3. Is it likely that the process should be taking this long? Should I make arrangements to leave it running for an extended period of time? I have run system restore before but it has always completed within 30mins or so in the past.
I am carrying out a restore because my laptop refused to start. I am concerned that I might have done damage whilst running a pc tweaking software immediately before the problem arose.
I think my computer got a virus. It was working fine until i shut it down. I tried to turn it on the next day and it said something like "windows is trying to repair the problem" or something like that. I tried to restore it to an earlier date but the same thing kept happening, so I just decided to use the repair disks. I clicked the "recover to out-of-box" state and it started loading, then suddenly a window reading ," recovery factor default software" popped up, following with a smaller window titled , "Copy File" and reading. "Invalid MS-DOS function.PREINST7.SWM Type:SWM File.Size: 643 mb.date modified: 9/3/2009 2:11 am try again, skip, cancel " I have a Toshiba L455-S5975 Windows 7 home premium 32 bit What does this all mean, and more importantly, what do I do?
I have an HP G60 Laptop, I have made the factory default reset discs, but when i boot the first one up it tells me that my hard drive has insufficient space to perform reset.how to fix this without getting a new hard drive?
I thought I had a virus on my Pc, so I wanted to return back to factory settings. I put my recovery disk in the Pc and followed the prompts. When the Pc restarted, It had the error message--BOOTMGR MISSING. I did the above operation several times and still received the same error message. The odd thing is I can view the recovery partition in the MY COMPUTER folder. How do I get the recovery partition to work again. I have restored the OS with the disk Dell gave me, but I would like to use the option to recovery the factory setting.
i have an acer aspire x1900 ..windows 7 32 bit and and wanted to burn the recovery disc from my computer but whenever i click on the create factory default disc ...it just wont open .... then called for help and asked what would i do if ill reformat my pc but don't have recovery disc and the one on my pc itself not loading....they told me to press alt+f10 upon rebooting but it didn't take me to recovery window as what i have seen on one on the Internet video the guy pressed alt+f10 but its not the same shown on mine?
I have an ACER Aspire 5733z-1204 64bit with Windows 7 Home Premium.Attempting to Create Factory Default Disk to (D) HL-DT-St DVDRAM GTSIN I formatted 3 Sony DVD-RW disks using the Windows 7 feature (Live File System Format)It doesn't seem to recognize the DVD-RW disk and keeps telling me to insert a blank disk.
my laptop (Compaq Presario CQ61) contracted a virus that did some heavy damage. So I go into the boot up menu and decide to restore the laptop back to the factory settings, just to be on the safe side so I can start afresh.Now it's on a screen that says 'Factory image recovery preperation' and it's currently copying files to restore the hard drive, but it's froze on 58%.
Last night I did the same thing and left it overnight while I went to bed, and when I woke up this morning it was still froze on 1%.
Edit: The loading bar is still there, but the place where '58%' was has gone. My mouse is moving but very slowly.
Edit: My laptop is very warm and I can't feel or hear the fan... it's going to overheat. I've had to turn it off.
My daughters ASUS K52F needed to be rebuilt to factoy specs. (I have done this before on an ACER and a GATEWAY without issues.)I started the restore and loaded each of the 4 disks when requested and it made it to 100% and I pressed on finish when requested and the computer restarted itself but then did not do anything but load the black screen with the ASUS logo.I must have missed a step but I do not know what that is.Has anyone else had this issue or know what I need to do now to get windows to boot/load?
I've just used the windows 7 utility on my hp station pc which is called "restore to factory" and this seems like went smoothly, but when I try to reboot the pc, and after the "preparing pc for first use" there's a text box popping up witch says "could not complete installation of windows, to install windows on this computer, restart the installation" and then the system reboots again, and it all starts over. I dont know how to restart the installation, and I don't have any cd/dvd or usb, tried to download the windows 7 usb/dvd download tool, but as a first step it is requested a .iso file which I don't have, and don't know where to find..
I recently purchased HP Envy 4-1025 TX which came preinstalled with Windows Home Basic X64bit. Since it was having a single partition of 500 GB, i decided to do partition and for that i used bootable USB Drive to make 2 partitions, one of 50 GB and other of remaining space. After partitioning i abort the process in middle and then pressed F11 for system recovery but that didn't worked and finally i used that bootable USB Drive only to clean install Windows Home Basic. My problem is that i want to restore system to factory image using recovery partition since activation would be a issue. Now i tried many steps to use recovery partition like I made recovery partition as active and then boot but it is not working and rather windows opens up. I also did try to change letter of recovery partition to D: but that also didn't help. I also tried HP UEFI Update but that is also not working and giving error that your drive already has 4 partitions. The remaining disk space of about 395 GB is also unallocated, i can't allocate it since when i try to allocate it, it gives error that there is no space for new partition as MBR is full.
I have an error when i try to make a factory disc, it says "hard drive configuratiuon is not set to factory default, back up aborted". I bought this computer at a cashland that is now doubling as a pawn shop.
