How do i reformat my laptop to factory defaults?

Hi, I have a toshiba Satellite A305. I would like to Reformat or restore it to system Default settings, ( like I just got it out of the box)
I have looked everywhere on how to do this and have not found anything to help me with this. All i can find is the Backup files center and Restore Files center from a back up file whitch I dont want.
All I want is to just have it how it was when I first got it. I dont mind all my stuff getting deleted or what not, so theres no need for a disk.
Does anything know how to do this?
Thanks?

hold zero during boot. then select recover to out of box. if this doesnt work you will need to get a set of recovery media unless you have it and boot your computer to the dvd drive. either way it will do everything for you once you start.

  • How can i reformat my laptop when it has no memory of being a hp pavilion?

    Hi,
    I have a hp pavilion dv6 and it caught a virus. My recovery disk didn't work and I asked my sister for help.
    She installed windows 7 onto it and now it has no memory of being a hp pavilion laptop. I can't acces the webcam or the hp recovery tool. Everything related to hp is gone. Is there any way I could reformat my laptop so it could go back to the way I bought it??
    Please help, and thank you

    Hi cocoblack,
    Have a look there to order a set of recovery disc for your computer from HP:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00810334&cc=us&dlc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN&lc=...
    Otherwise, if you just miss a few drivers for your laptop, you can get them here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN&lc=en&product...
    Depending on what you really need, it can be more than enough to install a few packages with the appropriate drivers for your machine.

  • How to create recovery disc that have factory default in H320?

    Hi I just bought a ideacentre H320. I want to prepare recovery discs, but when I do so, I am only given the option to backup the "current system". I did not see option in such as "Factory Default Recovery Disc" as I see in OneKey Recovery 7.0 (Mine only come with something similar called "Lenovo Rescue System 3.0".
    But I don't want to back up the current system, I want to get the recovery disc to have factory image, so when I restore, it will be like I just open the the new pc from the box. How can I do that? (I know you can achieve the same thing through the "Service partition" but what if the harddisk is corrupted and you lost the partition?)
    Is there any way to backup the service partition, so when I do something like upgrade Hard drive, I will not loose the ability to return my pc to factory default? Thanks.

    Hi fongpwf and welcome to the community,
    In figure 14, it says "Create a bootable recovery disc from system backup or factory default image file."
    Are you saying that if you click the button to create the recovery discs that it only gives you the option of creating it from the system backup?

  • I have disabled ipod touch.. how can i unlock without resetting to factory default?

    i have a disabled ipod touch. how can i unlock with password without resetting to factory default?

    You can rstore from backup but you must restore the iPod
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • How do you reset keyboard backlight to factory default?

    I have a MacBook Pro running it's latest update (10.7.3) , and would like to reset the keyboard light and the desktop light to it's default.
    How?
    thanks

    No "default". It's either Off, On (to a user defined brightness) or Automatic.
    Automatic, if the "Automatically illuminate keyboard in low light" checkbox is ticked in System Preferences / Keyboard / Keyboard. "Low light" is determined  by a light sensor located to the left of the FaceTime video camera on the top edge of the display, the illumination threshold is not adjustable.
    Manual will be dependent on pressing the bright/dim keys on the keyboard, automatically mapped to the F6/F5 keys on the top row.
    Display brightness can also be set to automatically adjust, with the "Automatically adjust brightness" checkbox in System Preferences / Displays.

  • HT201441 This phone is from a former employee who was terminated, i cannot access this account as the assinged number is changed how do i reset this phone to factory default.

    Need to set this company phone back to default settings.

    As far as I know, you can't.  Contact the former employee and inform them that you are starting a collections proceeding against them since they returned the phone in a non-working condition unless they cooperate by erasing the phone and removing it from their account as outlined in the article you were just reading.

    How do you reset an iPad to factory defaults?

  • Hello, I am trying to reregister my Photoshop CS on my laptop, which had to be restored to its original factory defaults.  I am unable to re-activate using my product key.  I have been able to do so before when I've had to restore my laptop.  Please help.

    I just restored my laptop to factory defaults due to a slowdown in the computer.  Now when I go to reinstall CS and reactivate it, Adobe will not recognize my product key.  I am frustrated that I can't speak to someone there like I used to be able to do.  Who can help:?

    Adobe closed the activation servers for CS and CS2. For owners such as yourself, Adobe has an activation-free version of CS2.
    Download the installer and use the serial number next to it. Do not use your old serial number.

  • Restore powerbook g4 to factory default without cd

    My sister purchased a powerbook g4 from a pawn shop.  It has a password on it.  How can I reset the powerbook to factory defaults without the install cds?  Will this remove the password and computer name etc?  Also, can Snow Leopard or Lion be installed on a powerbook once that is done?  Thanks.

    1. You can't. Phone Apple Support and order replacement disks, or use a retail Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5 DVD, or contact the people it was bought from.
    2. See #1.
    3. No.
