Sometimes a computer owner is faced with the need to clean the system of various bugs that interfere with normal operation. This can be done by reinstalling the operating system, or using special utilities. But there is a method that has several undeniable advantages over them.

Resetting the settings to factory defaults will help restore the device to functionality in most cases, even if you cannot start the OS. This method is especially relevant for those who do not want to waste time reinstalling the OS.

When restoring factory settings, the OS will be reinstalled automatically. You will not need to enter the OS activation code again. That will be restored Windows version, which came with the laptop upon purchase.

By rolling back the BIOS, you will eliminate the problems listed above. In this article we will look at how to return a laptop to factory settings and restore its functionality. There are several methods, which we will take a closer look at.

The option to reset settings may be needed if:

What are the factory settings?

Factory parameters are set by the manufacturer for specific model computer or laptop. They store BIOS settings and computer configuration parameters. This information is located in the device's dynamic memory, which is called CMOS.
All factory settings take up very little space and are separately powered - from a small battery located on the motherboard. You can reset the laptop parameters without access to the BIOS. To do this, simply remove the battery, wait 30-40 seconds, and insert it again.

After the process of resetting the BIOS settings is completed and the OS is reinstalled, you will receive the laptop in the same condition in which you bought it in the store.

It is worth noting that to successfully return the device to factory settings, in addition to CMOS, you need a Recover partition, which stores installation files and other necessary system information.

Where is Recovery located and its activation

A hidden partition on the hard drive that stores all the files needed to restore the system is called Recovery. It is created by default on all laptops, and is deleted or damaged in most cases as a result of incorrect user actions.

You can see where the hidden section is located:

There you can see the size that Recovery occupies on the HDD. Typically this is 20-25 GB of system information and installation files.

If you have a Toshiba laptop, then you have probably already noticed that on drive D there is a system folder called HDD Recovery. It also stores the information necessary to reset the system, so it cannot be deleted.

Activating Recovery starts the reset process custom changes BIOS, factory reset, and OS reinstallation and system programs and drivers.

To activate Recovery, press a specific hotkey combination. This will allow you to enter the system menu, where you can select several system recovery options. It should be remembered that each manufacturer has its own combination of hot keys; below we will look at the most popular ones.

Restoring settings using hotkeys

In order to return your laptop to factory settings, you should remember several hotkey combinations. When the system boots, you should press hot keys to access the BIOS Setup menu, from where you can start the process of restoring parameters.

Depending on the computer manufacturer, hot keys and their combinations differ:

Toshiba - depending on the model F8, or 0, or Fn+0;
Sony - F10;
Acer – Alt and F10 at the same time;
HP, LG and Lenovo – F11;
Samsung – F4;
Fujitsu - F8;
ASUS – F9;
Dell - both Ctrl and F11, but in some models F8;
Packard Bell - F10. If you have Windows 8 installed, you can use the power button when you log in. You should hold down Shift and at the same time select the “Reboot” menu item;
MSI – F3, and on some models F11.

How to reset a laptop to factory settings via BIOS

Using hot keys, you can roll back custom system changes and return the BIOS to factory settings.

On the black screen that appears, select sequentially:

option "Running the recovery center" for Sony, or "Troubleshooting your computer" for Toshiba, or "System Recovery" for HP;
menu item "Load Defaults BIOS".

Depending on the manufacturer, the option name may vary: "Load BIOS Setup Defaults", "Load Safe-Fail Defaults", but the words "Load" and "Default" will definitely be present.

Preparation

Prepare for a factory reset:

After you start the process of resetting the settings, the process of collecting information and preparing system files. This may take some time, so don't worry.

Recovery process

Once you start the recovery process, all actions will be performed automatically, without your participation. The computer may reboot if required by the installed software. During the process of resetting the settings, device drivers will be restored and standard system programs will be installed.

It is worth mentioning that it is not always possible to successfully reset the settings on a laptop. This is possible if:

What can you do if you deleted hidden Recovery section from hard? You'll have to search boot disk with settings or an image of a hidden partition for your laptop. They can be found on the Internet, and sometimes manufacturers offer to buy such disks for system recovery on official websites.
If there are no ready-made images for your laptop, you can ask the owners of a similar model on computer forums to create such an image for you. And to avoid this situation, you can create a bootable USB flash drive or DVD for your laptop yourself, which you can keep on hand and use when necessary.

In today's article we will talk about returning Acer, eMachines and Packard Bell laptops to factory settings. Initially, I planned to write separate articles on them, but later decided to make do with one.

The fact is that eMachines and Packard Bell are the same Acer and the recovery procedure is only slightly different in visual terms, and all the recovery steps for laptops released under these trademarks are almost identical, so I’ll just point out one single nuance along the way .

So, before you begin the procedure for restoring your Acer, Packard Bell or eMachines laptop to factory condition, please read this article first if you have not read it before, as it describes the preparations that need to be made before you begin restoring your laptop from the system recovery partition. Next steps are described on the basis that you have followed all the recommendations I gave in this article.

Well, don’t rush to start restoration until you read this article to the end.

To launch the utility for restoring Acer, Packard Bell and eMachines laptops to factory settings, use the Alt+F10 key combination. You must press this combination when you turn on the computer, before the operating system starts loading.

To make sure you don't miss this moment, I recommend holding Alt key Make quick, short clicks on the F10 button.

However, for the recovery utility to run this way, it is necessary that BIOS settings The D2D Recovery option has been activated. The setting you are looking for is here:

If you have never worked with BIOS settings before and have a vague idea of what it is, I strongly recommend that you run the System Recovery Environment a little longer, but more in a safe way, standard for many mobile computer manufacturers.

To do this, immediately after turning on the laptop, quickly start clicking the F8 key. This is usually done when they want to select a special boot mode for the operating system. We need the following menu to appear on the screen:

As you can see, at the very top there is a “Troubleshoot your computer” item. Select it (if for some reason it is not selected by default) and press the Enter key. The files will begin downloading.

Now you will need to specify the user on whose behalf the recovery will be performed and enter the password for the selected user, if one has been set. Enter the required information and click OK.

In the next menu that appears, click Recovery Management.

This will launch the Packard Bell, Acer or eMachines laptop recovery utility. As I already said, the differences in their interface are purely cosmetic.

If you are going to use the recovery option using the Alt+F10 key combination, then all the previous steps are not relevant for you. The process of resuscitating the system from the recovery partition will begin immediately from this step.

So, since we assume that all our important data has been previously saved, we select the option “Restore operating system to factory settings”.

We will be warned about the necessary precautions, which you will already be aware of if you have read the introductory article. To continue the procedure for restoring the laptop operating system, click “Next”.

After this, we will be shown information about the hard drive of our laptop. Just click “Next”.

We agree with the next warning that all data will be lost.

After this, the computer will need a little time to complete its preparations...

...after which the process of restoring to factory condition will begin. We're just waiting.

Hello dear readers of my blog. In this article, I will most likely talk about preparing for installing Windows 7 on a Packard Bell EN LE639KB laptop, rather than the installation itself. So much has been written on the Internet about installing Windows 7.

Background

The other day, an acquaintance called me and asked me to look at the Packard Bell EN LE639KB laptop I had purchased. So to speak, evaluate the purchase, and install Windows 7 and necessary programs. Bring it, we'll check it out, we'll set it up - was my answer. The laptop looked nice, thin, and stylish. The filling is average for today's times: 4-core processor, 4 gigabytes of RAM, 320 screw and discrete video card. Good for work and play.

This is what the Linpus bootloader looks like
The most interesting thing about this laptop is operating system. It is called Linux Linpus Lite version, and even in a console version. In general, you need to install something more familiar, namely Windows 7 64.

Linpus Command Line
Preparing to install Windows 7

We insert a flash drive with the Windows 7 installation distribution into the USB socket. How to choose to boot from a flash drive? On different computers and laptops differently. This could be the Esc, F2, F10, F11, F12 key. After trying all the keys and not achieving any results, I decided to go into the BIOS settings and look there. How to enter BIOS? There are no other inscriptions on the screen other than the beautiful Packard Bell logo. We will act using the brute force method or the “scientific poking” method. To enter the BIOS settings in our case, you need to hold down the F2 key when turning it on and hold it for a while.

Boot Menu off
The F12 Boot Menu function was disabled in the BIOS settings. Let's turn it on. Save the settings and reboot the laptop. Press F12, the boot media selection window appears, but in the first place is marked hard drive laptop and it is not possible to change its location. In addition, ours is not on the list bootable flash drive with Windows 7. What to do? How to boot from our bootable USB flash drive with Windows 7? This question turned out to be the most difficult in our story about installing Windows 7 on a Packard Bell EN LE639KB laptop.

Boot Menu E
Boot Menu enabled
Solving the problem

After looking at more than one site on the Internet, collecting information bit by bit, and also using the “scientific poking” method, a solution to this issue was found. Namely, you need to change in the settings BIOS parameter UEFI on Legacy. After that, our flash drive appeared in the boot media selection list and is available for selection. We select it as a download and then install Windows 7. The problem is solved.

Boot Mode UEFI
Moreover, when choosing a place Windows installations 7 you need to delete all partitions from hard drive laptop and recreate the partition or partitions for Windows 7.

Boot Mode Legacy
It turned out that drivers for Windows 7 are supplied with the laptop on a disk. But I didn’t use them, but installed more recent drivers from the DriverPack Solution kit.

Selecting a flash drive with Windows 7 distribution
So, Windows 7 is installed on a Packard Bell EN LE639KB laptop, the owner of the laptop is happy, and I got another piece of experience. Everyone is glad and happy.
