Hi,

All you need to do is removed the battery and unplugged the charger then press and hold the power button for 15 seconds then connect the laptop directly to the power outlet without using the battery just for the meantime then press the little button near the power button which has a drawing of an arrow going to the lef or soing down like a horseshoe or headset, press that button then you will see there One Key Recovery, choose that one then choose restore from factory default, then choose restore from initial back up then click OK and Start, that will restore your computer from the factory default, if this button doesnt work, contact lenovo to asked for a cd, its free and you just have to pay for the shipping which is $10.

Hope this will help...

Try clicking on my computer, looking to see if there is a D: drive or some other and searching it for a setup.exe. Usually the newer laptops have all the drivers and resetting software in another partition of your hard drive.

Hello, i have a dell xps m1210 laptop. i was using my computer and when i want to restore to factory settings i was using ctrl f11 combination and restoring back. but i now installed windows 7 on c drive....

No the hidden partions rely on the main partion to have some files still intact to complete a repair of the operating sytem then restores the files back to thair factory settings, to put xp back on you will need the factory recovery cd or dvd. If you buy a copy of xp and install it then ust eht recovery it should restore it to factory with drivers as well.

My asus 1001ha is infected with viruses & wont do anything how do i restore to factory settings?

If it is a bad virus that won't let you do anything on the computer, follow the instructions on this link. If you can install programs on your computer, follow only steps 7 and 8 from the above link.

If you still want to restore it to factory settings, you will need the restoration CD/DVD that came with the laptop, put it in the drive and boot from it to start the restoration to factory settings. If you don't have the restoration disc, you will need a Windows installation disc to install a clean copy of Windows and wipe the HDD. Same process, put disc in and boot from it then follow the instructions for Windows installation (you will need the drivers disc though).

I BOUGHT A MINI LAPTOP. IT'S AN ASUS EEE PC WITH WINDOWS XP. EVERYTIME I UPGRADE THE WINDOWS 6 TO WINDOWS 7, IT COMPLETELY LOCKS ME OUT OF THE INTERNET. I UNINSTALLED WINDOWS 6, BUT NOW I CAN'T GET ON...

Format the drive and then only install Windows 7 and see how that works. Could be conflicts between files from different versions of windows. If that doesn't work then wipe out the drive again and make sure you restore your laptop to its original factory settings. Windows 7 make not work right in certain circumstances cause its in Beta.
