what does the F9 function do for you, this will help me understand what you need.
some notebooks have a smart key double-function you need to enter BIOS settings and disable the smart-key-function to use the F keys the regular way.

Thank you for replying.

I was told to use F9 so I can restore the netbook back to factory settings.
Nothing happens when I try it.
I'm not too sure what a BIOS is, I'm not very computer savvy, but I can follow instructions :)

My netbook is running very slow, I have defraged it and scaned for virus and that has not helped. Also some of my number keys won't work. I am not very techy at all. I would be very grateful for any help. I hope I am posting in the right place.

Hello everyone
I want to reset my laptop to factory settings so I watched a couple of videos and read some articles they all say: "turn on your laptop then press f10 and then hit enter" when I do that it just starts up normally.

Hi,

I have been using a Toshiba laptop from mid 2007. I don't have a recovery disc supplied with the purchase of this laptop. Instead, Toshiba has added a hidden partion on the hard drive which contains the same files on a recovery CD/ DVD.

To reinstall your laptop to the factory settings/"out of the box" settings, please follow these steps. It worked for me, and should work for you.

Before beginning, just insure that you have power adapter plugged in. The computer should not be restarted during the process. The most important, that all the data will erased.
