Starting a recovery via the recovery partition usually means that you have to press one of the “F” keys (such as F1-F12) the moment after you hit the power button. These should be: Acer - Alt + F10 Asus - F9 Dell/Alienware - F8 HP - F11 Lenovo - F11 MSI - F3 Samsung - F4 Sony - F10 Toshiba - 0 (not numpad) while turning on, release key when Toshiba logo appears
Just to help those of you without a dell... I have a sony so I had to look this up cuz F8 didnt work for sony but I followed this amd it worked perfectly!
amandaroseaz I have a Sony and I can't find my disc can you help me? I want to restore my computer back to factory settings. OS is Windows7. Home Premium.

Mines doesn't have that restore your computer at the bottom...& I don't need to backup anything on my laptop so how do I go around that? Because I'm stuck & it won't let me factory reset it.

PS my laptop is sticking at random now bravo dell just bravo.
Philippe same here and like 3 hours ago i hit the CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED error while trying to load up a game i havent been able to get to my desktop its like my display drivers stopped working
Just got myself a new pc as the old one is about 8 years old, still works great for what it is and wanted to give it to my uncle since he has an overheating laptop. Cheers for this video, helped a lot!
Ernis Veilside Because I was researching info on a factory reset, because my .dll was missing and I wanted to remeber the name...Saw this video. Saw the guy was naked. It wasn't a "question" to be answered. It was Rhetorical, if you even know what that means...I was pointing out he was naked, while "asking" if anyone realized that....As if to "comment in the form of a question" ...."HEY! Look, the guy is naked"....What is it like having Aspergers?
I have an Acer Aspire 5515 running Windows 7, and I can do everything up untill 2:55 I don't have the last option, I only have "Startup Repair, System Restore, System Image Recovery, Windows Memory Diagnostic, Command Prompt" that's it, no 6th option. Please help :D (Don't tell me to use a new/old windows 7 installation disk, recovery disk, system restore, or a 12 guage please)
As i see you arent wearing a shirt, I dont want to know what you have been searching before you did this video. Joking :) nice video thank you, you helped me a lot
I was trying to install mine craft and it said I have a virus. Thank you soo much, when I try to reset my computer, it takes me forever. Again thank you soo much. I think you are going have a job on helping people with computers one day or if you do good luck or if you have sent in an application good luck. Have a good year.
My computer just has too much crap and downloads on it, I have this exact same laptop the Inspirion and couldn't find this method anywhere since the laptop is decently old. Thank you!
While you can certainly go there by pressing F8, the laptop I have being a Lenovo Thinkpad will not let me factory reset it unless I have the disc required.
Hongen Lim BlockMinecraftBustersPhillip Molina Just inserted the new Windows CD to install another Windows 7 and then, installed it, after the installation, all my files went to the windows.old folder. When your new Windows OS is ready u gotta go to start button and search "disk cleanup" u open it and select the previous windows installations check box, and any other check boxes for the files you want to delete, and then click ok. Hope this to be useful!
I did this and my computer said "WARNING: SELF DISTRUCT MOD ACTIVATED!

Hi there, I get all the commands from System recovery option except Dell data safe restore option. As my computer is ACE I was expecting to see Ace datasafe. The last command I got is commend prompt and nothing after that. My computer was primary XP since I have Window 7 on it, it did not function properly. I need to go back to windows XP in order to work on that computer. Please advise.
I don't have those options on my Toshiba Windows Vista Home Premium (that i can find). And no "repair computer" option. It only allows me to system restore, but no apparent options to factory reset to prepare for laptop donation. C drive in system properties just takes me another way to system restore tha t does not make it donation ready. Is there another way to set laptop for donation? Thanks!
