DV6-3122us/ after and during Factory restore problems

This is a DV6-3122us 64 bit notebook, 500GB hard drive, 4 GB ram, Windows 7 Home Premium OS. I restored it from the Factory purchased recovery discs, and I had a problem with that, had to do it 3 times kept locking up at 9% on the restore part. It finally went through then said couldn't install, turned it off, and it was installed. This is Windows 7 Home Premium. Now I have lock ups when updating. The HP assistant loads but says it has errors at the very top, and doesn't show the system information at the bottom. The hard drive only shows 80 GB allocated, and 397 unallocated. This is all the original hardware, which has been tested and has passed, memory has passed. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

1. Right click on the partition ( C:\ ) you want to Extend into the now unallocated partition and click on Extend Volume.
2. Click on Next for the Welcome to the Extend Volume Wizard window
3. Select the amount of space in MB you want to use from the unallocated partition to use to Extend this partition
4. Select all of the available space .
5. Click on Next.
6. Click on Finish in the Completing Extend window
You will now see the Disk Management console with the new extended partition volume ready to be used.
7. Close Computer Management.

Iphone 3gs will not turn on after attempting a factory restore

My iphone 3gs will not turn on after attempting a factory restore, all that happens is the apple logo appears the timer goes round then stops. It then switches itself on and off several times to no avail.
The only way I can turn it off now is by holding the off button and the home button, but then it goes into the cycle again.
Any advice gretly appreciated.

HT2406 A digital delay has appeared in my Podcasts only, and a factory restore didn't fix it. Any ideas?

My iPhone 3GS is producing a digital delay in podcasts only. No effect in Music or games. I tried a factory restore with no effect. Any ideas?

Check and see if you've bought any iTunes Gift Cards you don't know about
Fraudulent iTunes Gift cards are used to make purchases but are associated with a hijacked account so that if traced it's that account holder who'll have to deal with the problems. It was a form of "laundering".
It's one of the reasons iTunes had stopped issuing those $200 gift cards about a year back since that's one of the uses for them ( The other reason had to do with why you don't, if you're sane, continue with gift card numbers after someone cracks the algorithm. ).
Another problem was with debit card numbers, usually swiped from a restaurant or Pub, being used for iTunes purchases in the U.K. ( You can find out about that by doing a search of this forum since it was also heavily posted. ) and to buy gift cards for a one time use.
If someone just hacked his account or his account was compromised further and his debit card number it out in the wild then sudden surprise purchases from the iTunes Store maybe his first warning.
He has to check his account further.

Apple TV 1st gen Factory Restore Problems

I have an Apple TV 1st generation that I tried to do a factory restore on. I did not unplug durring the progress bar. It then started up with the apple, then the opening video with all the tv screens. It asked me for the language, I selected English, then had me choose the correct internet connection so I typed in the password for our Wi-Fi, then it came up with the code to connect to our home computer and started flashing a new code every 2 seconds. I unplugged the Apple TV and waited about a minute then plugged back in. It again had the normal start up, but then after the opening video it began flashing between a screen with the apple then a blank black screen then to a menu screen and cycling through each screen about every 1-2 seconds. I unplugged again and waited about 10 minutes but then had the same results. Is there anyway I can do another system restore as I cant get it to stop flashing.

I FIXED IT!!! So here is how to fix your Apple TV 1st generation if you are having the problems listed above. I am listing it step by step as I have not found the solution to my problem ANYWHERE and I have been looking all day and figured it out myself. Here we go:
If you have done a FACTORY RESTORE and it is now flashing different through different screens I recomend doing a FORCED RESTART from the totally awesome guys at MethodShop, here is the link: http://methodshop.com/gadgets/tutorials/appletv-fix/
If their instructions do not fix your problem here is what I figured out (assuming the diagonstic test says that your Apple TV is working correctly).
Keep your Apple TV plugged in, and allow it to go to sleep. It can take up to 45 minutes. Once it has gone to sleep (the screen will have photos scrolling on the TV) press the MENU button on the remote to wake it up. The Apple TV will wake up on the MENU screen. Scroll down to SETTINGS then select SYSTEM UPDATE. Follow all instructions to update the system to the current update.
WARNING: If you take too long once you have woken up the Apple TV it will start freaking out again and you will have to let it go to sleep again.
I have tried this twice now to make sure the first time was not a fluke and its working perfect now.
Hope this helps someone else!

HP DV6748us - Factory restore problem

I upgraded (?) from Vista to Win7. Have had nothing but problems, and thought I would run a factory restore. I tried to use the 3 discs that I had copied my HP discs to, but that wouldn't work at all, so used the HP discs I had ordered. All was going fine until approx. 10% through reformat and reload, and it stopped with an error message (which I stupidly did not write down - sorry) and now I cannot get it to boot to the restore discs at all. It will only go to F10, which doesn't help. However, I did get it to F2, I think, and ran the HD testing, which was all fine. Any suggestions? Thanks!

bro i also experienced the same problem with this.
on trying to factory restore my t400 windows vista 64bit, i get this message>>>

i dont have this kind of problem with my thinkpad x61.

X61s (7668CTO) blue screens during factory restore - how to get working restore discs?

How can I get factory restore discs that actually work? My X61s was purchased with a Vista Ultimate OEM (32-bit) installation, but when I attempted to do a factory restore this weekend using the recovery disks with the laptop, the recovery process complained that the second disk was not the correct disk. If I follow the prompts to continue it blue screens with a "Page Fault in Non-Paged area" error. I then tried to use the version on the recovery partition (not the created discs) but it also blue screens with the "Page Fault in Non-Paged area."
How can I get factory restore disks that actually work to recover my Vista Ultimate OEM installation to the factory settings? I am (just barely) still inside my warranty period, so want to get this resolved ASAP. The only other recovery CDs it came with are for XP, but the laptop was purchased and shipped with Vista Ultimate and I don't want to downgrade to XP (if those discs still work).
I could no longer boot into Windows or do a factory recovery. I have installed Linux so I can work again, but I would like to have the option of booting Vista if I need it.
Thanks for any help/guidance,
~ Daniel

IPhone 4 turns off during factory restore

My iPhone recently turned itself off for no reason. Since then, I've been trying to restore it with little success.
I've repeatedly put the phone into recovery mode and attempted a factory restore, and this has only worked three times out of several dozen, due to the phone turning off in the middle of recovery.
On the occasions where the restore worked, the iPhone functioned normally for several hours before turning itself off again and repeating the cycle.
The phone (before successful recovery) will not turn on unless plugged in. When the phone isn't in recovery mode, the screen repeatedly displays the apple logo before turning itself off before displaying the apple logo again, so on so forth.
In brief, factory restore only works very rarely and when it does the phone only works for a few hours before requiring another restore.

Restore as new, without using a backup. If this continues, there is certainly a hardware problem.

Hello pdpan,
please refer to this microsoft article and use the usb drive from you brother and a XP disc.
Perhaps the windows repair option will bring you back to work.
Another question what will happen if you hit blue button at start up?

T60p factory restore problems

When I try to factory restore a message saying "The Product Recovery function has been removed from the system" Is there any way to fix it?

When updating or restoring some iPods (but not the iPod Classic) via a usb connection, it needs to be plugged into power via the charger to complete the process, and this is why you see this icon displayed.
It's also why older iPods that required this step were supplied with a power adaptor as standard.
Try resetting it whilst it's plugged into the adaptor.
See this.

Nano 6th gen unplugged during factory restore, now it won't appear on Source list and I can't access it again!

I need to delet all the songs off my Ipod 6th generation nano. I began a restore to factory settings but my ipod was unplugged. Now the songs are still ON the ipod and the ipod does not register with my computer. It is not available in the device list. I am selling the ipod and it needs to be shipped tomorrow so going in for service is NOT the answer.

Probably too late, but try connecting the Nano to iTunes to your PC in Disk Mode and then restoring it via iTunes again.

HELP!!!Can I restore back my photos and documents after I did factory restore setting? [never back up before]

Just wonder, I have tried to do that for my mac pro. [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtUw-vo606w] , once I have reinstall the mac lion, the laptop will be just as the same day when i first purchased it right? Will i be able to restore back my photos ? Please note that, i never back up my photos before.

Yes if you erase/wipe, re-partition the drive before you do a reinstall of OS X Lion all data on your drive will be removed and replaced with just the operatiing system and the standard programs that come with OS X, Mail, Contacts, Safari, iTunes and the like. The iLife Apps, "i" Photo, Movie and Garage Band will not. Those Apps need to be downloaded from the Mac App Store and installed.
All other programs you have bought and installed will need to be reinstalled from either the CD/DVD disc or from downloads from the internet website you bought them from.
Backing up all your music and photos depends on what programs you are using and whether you saved them outside the Apple Apps iPhoto and iTunes database structure.

Drobo NAS and Time Machine restore problems

My HDD crashed. I installed a new one. Reinstalled OSX Mavericks and tried a Migration Assistant from a DROBO 5N NAS (holding the Time Machine sparse.bundles). Profiles reinstalled, no data, no applications. Weird. I have tried Drobo, I have tried Apple consultant - recommended by Apple's support website. No success in getting the restore to take place with Apple software. Wondering if I can do this file by file. I really only care about the 1TB of movies, music, photos I have on iTunes and Aperture backups inside of the sparse.bundle files. Everything else I can reload. Please help. I have been down since July 15 on my home theater and photo library. Need to get this up and running ASAP. Everything looks OK on the backup file. When I try to simply copy the data files to my new HDD I get the dreaded OSX file copy error after about 200GB - which takes an incredibly long amount of time on my wireless home network (about 5 hours). Really need an expert to help out on this one. Please let me know if you can.
Thanks,
GJM120

Hi Bret,
You state it's running 10.5.8 but that it's only 9 months old; those two don't match up. If it is only 9 months old, bring it in to an Apple Store ("genius" bar appointment) and have them check it over. It sounds like it may be a HD issue to me.

Restoration incomplete message after factory restore

After performing a factory restore I am getting the following mesage. Restoration Incomplete . I have retried full factory and system image restore multiple times and after it completes and the computer restarts the restoration incomplete message comes back. Here is what it says when click on the details button.There might be unexpected reboot during factory update. The process will cause CTO panic because the image might not be normal. and then it states the time.The computer is out of warenty and I do not have factory recovery disk and HP says none are availabe from them. I can axcess the full start up menu including F10 Bios Setup. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Robert Fuller

Hi Rod Good luck on that one, I did not even get to a recovery manager to start with.I ended up formatting the HDD and reloading with with our Win7 Pro install disc. I used the license I use for my desktop and that sorted my issue. No more problem.
