32 bit Factory Settings recovery issues REALLY CONFUSING

I accidently download some loaded stuff from time to time and so thus I have had to reset my toshiba 3 times to factory settings NEVER HAD A PROBLEM but this time when I try it it says insert recovery disk so i thought WTF? then when I went into EXTENSIVE system information reading My windows (that toshiba came with) is 32 bit (always has been) yet the recovery system is 64 bit! AND ONLY THIS TIME IS IT MAKING A BIG DEAL ABOUT IT and I was wondering if there was any way for me to change my system to 64 bit so I can reset my laptop for (hopefully) the last time. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you see a login screen when you boot. If so this is the WinRE boot disk. There should have been two of these, one 32-bit, one 64-bit. There should also be a "pure" recovery boot disk, this one will NOT have a login prompt. This is the one you should be booting from. It will display a screen that let's you select to install 32-bit or 64-bit. Have you tried recovering from the "0" (zero) key? This will also work without the login. With the machine powered down, press and hold down the "0" key, until see a progress bar appear across the bottom of the screen.

  • Factory Condition recovery issues

    Hi; I have a terrible virus - Istartsurf which can not be removed no matter what instructions I follow eg remove at settings, used Revo uninstalled ect. I am now trying to get back to the original factory settings, don't need to backup files at this stage, clicked on Restart in the Advanced recovery area , then got "Failed to restart computer". I'm at a dead end. Any suggestions please!

    Perhaps the instructions here will help. Use the process -"Recovery when Windows 8 does not start correctly":

  • Windows 10 Factory Settings/Recovery Partion Question

    I have a question, I upgraded my Aspire E 17 laptop to Windows 10 2 days ago. would there be a way to put my computer back to factory settings with the Acer Recovery Management no longer working. And I noticed that i have a recovery partion that is 14 GB, Would that be Window 10 in the recovery partion or Window 8.1 in that Partion

    Hi BookHog92, With regards to the Acer recovery Management, you don't have to worry about it if it's not installed in your laptop or it doesn't like to work anymore; because you still can use the manual option to restart your laptop/computer to the Factory Settings; you can check this link where I did explain before how to fix this problem and for sure it will work for you as it can help all users whose using Windows 8/8.1 & 10 : Click here : How to Reset your Acer Lapotop/Computer to Factory Settings Or by following the instruction below which is almost the same : Step 1: Refresh your desktop and click on : Ctrl+Alt+Del  Step 2: Click on the power button; the menu will show you: Sleep | Restart | Shutdown : You hold the shift button on your keyboard and you press the Restart option and don't release the shift key until it open for you another window.   Step 3: Now you release the shift key and you click on Reset your PC.  Step 4: Now you click next and you will be directed to the same step of choosing which method of reset you want:   After that you choose the fully clean option to reset your PC to the factory settings however make sure before you do all this steps to copy or transfer your files to an external HDD because this operation will erase all you files and data. Best regards, Mehdi --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If i was helpful to you, please give a KUDOS is appreciated and please mark "Accept as Solution", if that solved your problem.

  • Restored to factory settings, Recovery mode, need to restore?? HELP!

    When I connected my phone to my iTunes on my computer to do the update to iOS 7.0.4 (I think...) it said it needed to be restored to factory settings to complete the update. I clicked on it to restore, and it did the restore. It said it was restored to factory settings and it would have to restart to complete the restoration. It says not to disconnect it. Then that message disappears and a new message appears saying "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." And I'm not sure what to do, because I have tried to restore it three times and it just keeps saying the same thing. Also, when the message comes up that it has been restored and to not disconnect it, my phone screen changes to a USB cord with an arrow pointing to the iTunes symbol like it has been disconnected but the USB is still connected. Help!!!

  • Building appication on 64 bit O.S..Performance issue

    Hi all..
    I have a web application developed using Struts and EJB. The underlying server is Jboss 4.0.2.
    Earlier i was building and running my application on 32 bit JVM and 32 bit O.S (windows). But due to performance issues (heap space problems) we decided to shift to 64 bit platform as our application involves multithreading. So now we are using 64 bit JVM with 64 bit underlying O.S (windows server enterprise 2008). This time we observed great performance improvement with this.
    Now my question is i am building my application on a different developer m/c which is 32 bit O.S + 32 bit JVM and i port those jar/war to the 64 bit scene above. In order to best utilize 64-bit capabilities further , am i need to build the application and run it on the same 64 bit m/c with 64 bit JVM ?
    I am really confused with this.
    Thanks in advance..

    (sorry for the long URL)
    On page 17:

  • Apple tv 1 won't restore to factory settings

    My apple tv 1st generation stopped working. It is caught in a loop.  Basically it won't get past the restart screen.  Diagnostics say it is working fine.  Won't restore to factory settings.  I really like the device and am not interested in moving to atv2.  Help!

    I assume you've unplugged from the mains, waited a few mins and restarted and also that you've done the Factory Restore from the same menu as Restart and Diagnostics.
    Unfortunately if you've done those steps you are likely to be stuck.
    There is no other official way to restore the shipping AppleTV backup image.
    Apple are unlikely to be able to offer assistance if out of warranty though you could try, and even then I have no idea if they'd offer a repair/replacement as the unit is no longer sold.
    There might be unofficial ways you could try and kick the thing into action if you Google for AppleTV jacks etc, but you might make trhings worse than they are (difficult to make igt more non-functional than it is).
    Your best bet if Apple are unable to help would be to try and source a second hand unit (or maybe old stock).  If a second hand unit had a working hard drive of similar capacity you might be able to clone that onto your existing one but that would generally entail opening the units up. No guarantee that thsi would help if some other component was stopping AppleTV from working.
    Final though, if anything has changed eg HDMI cable/TV etc then try another or try component out in case HDMI negotiation is somehow tripping it up.
    Good luck.

  • Can anyone help me!!! i have an i pod touch and the 4 digit passcode has been forgotten. i have tried a number of times to restore the factory settings on i tunes and have put the i pod into recovery mode, but attempts keep timing out

    my son has forgotten his 4 digit pass code for hios i pod touch. i have been instructed to disable it and connect to i tunes to restore factory settings. when I do this the download time is anything up to 20 hours and it keeps timing out. it is now saying that i tunes cannot connect to the i pod because it is locked with a passcode and saying that i must enter the passcode - can anyone help?

    - To get around the passcode issue, place the iPod in recovery mode. For how to see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - If you are getting a network timeout error during the restore, disable the computer's security software during the restore.

  • My iPhone will not turn on, when I plug it into my computer and load up iTunes its in recovery mode and the only option is to restore my device to factory settings. I have no back up of my phone I've also tried the home/sleep button thing but nothing

    My iPhone 4 will not turn on, when I plug it into my computer and load up iTunes its in recovery mode and the only option is to restore my device to factory settings, I have no back up of my phone I've also tried the home/sleep button thing but nothing, I have literally done every method I was told, I checked for water damage and that's fine. I don't want to restore my phone or buy a new one or pay for repairs because that's wasting money when it could be a simple way to fix it. And yes, I've also tried charging it and turning it in. I really need some help with my phone

    That does happen.  It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system.  If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

  • New mac 5 days old daughter accessed a movie website and now keep being redirected to this site. Have erased her as user and tried to restore factory settings. Now computer running Internet recovery and I am lost. Please help

    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • Rescue and Recovery "restore to factory settings" fails

    I have had need to recover my T61 to the state of original receipt. I boot from the recovery startup disc and select that I wish to recover to factory settings, and that I wish to save no files. After a progress bar fills, I am prompted to insert Product Recovery Disc 1. After it has completed, I am prompted for Disc 2, then Disc 3, etc., until the Disc 8. After the last disc progress bar is filled, I am presented with the message "Product Recovery failed to restore your system." The T61 then boots to the Rescue and Recovery menu. I have attempted this once again and have the same result. Please help if you can!

    You said that Win 8 system run on this notebook.
    As far as I know this notebook Satellite L750D-14R was preinstalled with Win 7 64bit OS.
    This means that HDD recovery procedure will not work because the HDD content and the partitions has been modified!
    To recover the notebook back to factory settings you would need the Toshiba Recovery disk/medium. If you did not create such disk then you could order this here:
    http://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/
    Anyway, I guess that the LAN connection doesn’t work due to LAN driver issue.
    I recommend you to uninstall the LAN driver (in device manager) and to download the latest available LAN driver from Toshiba EU driver page.
    After LAN driver installation reboot the notebook.
