Hello,
I have a sony vaio laptop.I want to set it back to factory settings. I do not have a recovery disk. I am using windows vista. How do I do this ?
i have a recovery centre on my vaio so I went onto that then I pressed RESTORE COMPLETE SYSTEM. I thought I might need recovery disks but I didnt. After an hour it's like brand new. Plus because it's gone back to the original factory settings i've got two months free trial of mcafee security just like when I first got my vaio. I only restored my system because I had malware called FRAUD.ANTIVIRUS7 which was killing my computer but luckily thats now gone.
:) how simple.... was kicking myself as I had recovery disks for other laptops but not for the one I needed and I was getting problems as I went into windows and couldn't use it from my programs
Thnx man, it worked just fine, except for one thing... now I cant get it to enter to the internet from my wireles lan (im working on my sisters laptop)... do you know how can I solve that problen....
any way
thnx
My Vaio has been down for 6 months as I have tried endlessly to Restore using the factory discs. The laptop seemed to have a video driver error or Iass.exe issue. Never could get it to jump past startup now at least the machine is trying to restore itself... thanks
ever vaio has a recovery drive in in which is usualy hidden. to access it go to run & type in compmgmt.msc & tap enter, now a window will appare, in it on the left panel ther will be an opption "Disk Management" click on it, which will show partitions of drives on ur computer on the right panel.........
Now look for an un-named partition & right click on it & chose "Change Drive Letter" opption which opnes a window, now click on "Add" & give it a name by chosing an alphabet. this will make it appare the hidden drive in my computer at once from where u can access it.
to hide it back again just click on remove button where u clicked on add button....
Any body is here
Plz
