My recovery disk won't reset my system to factory settings. What else can I do?

SOURCE: factory settings

There's a couple of things you can do:

Press the F2 key to enter the BOIS setup and reset those defaults

and/or

Use the driver disc. It writes a complete image on the hard drive with all the drivers.

It could be a hard drive crash. Can you refort the hard drive and see if you get any errors.

Check to see if you have any scratched on the CD.

Its hard to do if you dont have OS or recovery disk to reset as factory settings.
by the way, if your computer still runs (but slowly) then you can clean up all just to make it faster.

for it:
reboot your PC and keep holding F8 until your screen goes to safe mode
once you are in DOS mode then choose start as Safe mode option
once you reach in desktop then first clean all caches (such internet temporary files etc)
and click on start>run then type in "prefetch" without quotes then hit enter and delete all files whatever you see there in displayed windows.
then scan your pc for viruses using latest updated antivirus software.
once you are done with that run Ccleaner (download from here :http://www.ccleaner.com/) once you install run Registry scanning which fixes all corrupted registry.

if you do these all there is no doubt you Laptop will be as it was in new.
for next time you can use Spybot software to protect your pc

(this software is good for spyware, adware etc and free of cost too)
Good luck
and do not forget to rate all answer.
