Mini Windows 7 Starter won't restore!

Hi,
I have an HP mini netbook; Windows 7 starter. And I have a TON of viruses. And my computer won't even connect to the Wi-fi anymore even when I am right next to it! And frankly it's gotten annoying. I have tons of conduit viruses on this thing and I want to wipe out my entire computer. I don't care about losing files or anything. I just want my netbook to factory settings! And I've tried:
Going to start-up & clicking F8 or F11
I get to the menu and click System Recovery
And I click on all the necessary options and even detatch hardware from my computer. And it keeps asking for "recovery media"
And mind you my computer doesn't have a disc drive. So I never had a disc come with my computer or anything like that. And I should just be able to restore my computer without a disc or anything like that.
All other recovery options require the files to not be deleted. And I want them all gone so I can refresh my whole computer. I've had tons of games and files stay on the computer after I've deleted them multiple times. And I can't erase some even in the control panel.
Is there anything I can do?
I've watched youtube videos of people with the same netbook restoring their files with no problem and with no messages pop up. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I don't want to be on the phone with someone for hours and I don't really have the money right now to send this computer in. And honestly I'd rather get a new one then pay countless dollars for a computer that really isn't that good.
Any help is appreciated and I hope someone can find out what my issue is!
Thank you!

How are you connecting the Deskjet 1220? USB, Parallel or a USB to parallel converter? If the latter I would suggest a straight USB-USB connection. Make sure you have windows Update enabled as the driver is delivered via Windows Update.

IPod mini freezes computer and won't restore, etc.

I have an ipod mini, purchased nearly 2 years ago and this is the first time it's given me trouble. Worked fine on Friday and then started givin me the folder and exclamation point icon everytime I tried to turn it on, reset it, restore, etc. Tried following the "5 Trys" to no avail. Tried banging it 4 or 5 times against the table. Don't know what else to do. Is it worth sending it back to Apple to see if they can fix it?
One thing that I don't see anywhere on the Apple Support site - what do I do when plugging the iPod into causes the computer to lock up? I've tried this on two computers, both of which are updated with the latest version of iTunes. Tried a disk restore and got as far as the checkmark on the screen, but again the computer freezes up when I get to the part where I plug it in and try to update it through iTunes.
Please help!
Dell Windows XP

Update: Tried connecting the iPod to a coworker's Mac this morning and it tried going through the restore process, but ended up getting this error message:
The ipod "ipod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1429).
I tried searching for this error number on the ipod support site but it didn't come up with anything. Is my ipod toast?!

Ipod Mini won't restore... folder with exclamation point

A few weeks back my mini suddenly stopped working and showed a folder with an exclamation point. I have tried everything suggested on this site, 5 R's, re-formatting through Windows etc and the closest I can get to restoring is going into disk mode and clicking Restore on the Updater software, but when I do this I get a message saying "Can't mount Ipod" Does anyone know how I can resolve this? I have tried this on 2 different computers, the Ipod shows up in Windows but it won't restore.

Check this out.
Strange iPod behavior.

I bought (used) a hp mini 110-1000 netbook that at the time had what appeared to be windows 7 starte

I bought (used) a hp mini 110-1000 netbook that at the time had what appeared to be windows 7 starter on the machine. After booting into windows, it displayed the blue screen of death. I didn't locate a recovery partition or was able to access windows system restore, so I ordered a windows starter usb system recovery and received it today. After trying unsuccessfully to reinstall windows I am at a loss. It gets about a third of the way installing the software on the system and then it says it failed. I ordered by both the model number (110-3000 , or product wy699av) and serial number {Removed for privacy}. I am at a loss as to what to do, as I have bought a usb recovery media and it won't continue the install. Nowhere on the netbook is a sticker declaring the os or the model number so i researched by the other model #'s i found listed..Please help, and thanks.

I dont know how they had windows starter on this unit, but the sticker is for xp. Guess I bought a recovery usb stick that is usless to me, and now I'm stuck with it. I also checked the bios and it said it had a non vista os, after I found out how to get into it. I still don't understand how I was able to order the win 7 starter recovery usb, even after I input the serial number into the form. I would have thought it wouldn't allow me to order an incorrect os.

What can I do if my Windows 7 or Windows Vista laptop won't start?

I have joined many forums in my short computer life. This is by far the best forum that I have been a part of. It really up sets me when people come on here and complain before they have even given any of the staff or advisors a chance to help them with their problem. What can I do if my Windows 7 or Vista laptop won't start.

This is a great tutorial. Step by step to get your PC up and running and a lot more.Seriosly, if you can't follow this tutorial, you shouldn't have a computer. There will times when this won't work and you will have hardware problems. There are some great people here on the forum that can help you find those problems also. I have tried all these recovery options; they work, and I love my Toshiba laptop. That's why I donate my time to help and that's why others here donate their time.

Hi!! You should try the recovery feature in W7. Some times it can be accessed through safe mode. On my model it's easier to use the system repair disc. You can find out how to create that here.

These are basic things you need to know if your going to own a Toshiba laptop.
PS Some day I'm going to convince staff to make a sticky of these things; which would cut their work in half, but then I wouldn't have any thing to do.
Here's what the recovery looks like. You have 5 options to help you. The Dos option can really help if you are familiar with Dos. In Dos you can do a chkdsk---sfc /scannow--- and a whole lot more. Start with the Repair option first and work your way down.

Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

IPod classic corrupted and won't restore on Windows

So I have an 80Gb iPod classic. While I was transferring some files something went wrong with the USB connection and iTunes immediately froze and so did my iPod. So I reconnected my iPod and now it won't let me transfer any files because it keeps getting stuck. Then I tried to restore and got an error that I was unable to restore. I disconnected my iPod and it seems like it restored because the next thing I knew everything has been wiped out. But when I connected it to my PC a message appears that the iPod is corrupted and a windows prompt appears telling me to format the disk. So here's what I've done.
-formatted the iPod in FAT32
-connected the iPod, no 'iPod corrupted' message appears.
-tried to restore, but received the same error message, won't restore
-when iPod disconnected it went through the same cycle (iPod restoring-then iPod corrupted-iPod needs to be formatted)
-went to Apple service center, they restored it using a mac and everything went smoothly, song were able to be transferred without a glitch.
-however will not work on PC needs to be restored again
can someone help to shed some light? is there something wrong with the hard disk? If yes, then why can it be restored through mac but not windows?
what can i do to solve this problem?
thanx

I was sort of relieved to read that I am not the only one with freezing issues.
I have been to the apple store twice only to be told there is nothing wrong and of course my warranty has expired !! I have the Model A1136 EMC No. 2065 80gig classic ipod. My dell computer is only 2 weeks old and works fantastic, however, when I open itunes and my ipod and it freezes, so does my pc and I have to do a task manager to get out of itunes and there are times when I can't and have to reboot my pc.
Well it has been two weeks now of me trying all that I can to fix the issue and only thing I can see so far that it freezes up when its in the analyzing the gapless sound upon adding music from my folders, etc etc. So I tried to "uncheck" everything that had to do with the sound and it worked. Oh and by the way, try setting your ipod on disk mode when you are trying to restore the ipod. It works better that way. Don't know what is going on but I am so angry with myself for being so attached to this ipod There is nothing out there that compares to my ipod and it's amazing the prices of mp3 that even come close to 80 gigs.
Good luck to all and if I find anything else to share, I certainly will Don't hesitate to email me if someone finds out or has a patch or something to get this thing going properly again bye for now ,,,,,,,,

Ipad won't start; trying to restore thru itunes, but get the message - can't restore because ipad is not set up. It was set up and has been in use for about a year. What do I do now?

I Have seen people report this issue when they try to sync their devices but in never seen it when trying to restore an unresponsive iPad. I would sguggest trying recovery mode now.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
This procedure will totally erase the iPad so I hope that you have a backup that you can restore from....assuming that it works, that is.

Firefox won't restore all my windows in session restore.

I pulled the plug for my PC by mistake when I was sorting something out and I had firefox running with 3 windows opened. I switched it back on and restarted firefox. The session restore tab appeared this all my windows listed and checked, but when I hit restore only 1 was restored.
This has happened to me before on firefox 3.6, all I did was exit and start firefox again and the other windows showed up. But that didn't work on firefox 14.
I've managed to restore the sessionstore.js file to a previous version. When I restarted firefox 5 windows were listed in session restore but I could only view the tabs on 2 of them (why?). Clicked on restore and only those 2 windows appeared.
Is there any way I can recover the other 3?

If none of the other links show up with the bookmarklets and you also do not see them if you open the sessionstore.js in a text editor then those windows weren't saved.
The default maximum for recently closed windows is 3.

I plugged my phone into my a different computer (mac) that was not mine and it asked me to restore the phone. I started to back up the phone, then ended the phone got unplugged in the middle of the backup. Now we can't find where the iPhone backed up.

If it there is a backup you will find in in ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup. (Just open Finder>Go>Go To Folder..., past this in the path box and click Go.)

New Mac Mini & Windows 7 (x64) - Bootcamp won't install

I just tried to install Bootcamp into a new installation of Windows 7 (x64) and was told that it wasn't compatible with this hardware??? Remember, this is a brand-new (mini-displayport) Mac Mini (I knew the older minis were not 64-bit compatible because the 64-bit version of Windows 7 wouldn't even install on it) but why are the 64-bit versions of the Boot Camp drivers not able to be installed in Windows 7 (x64) on a Mac Mini. Just doesn't make sense to me. Thanks, please advise.

This worked fine on my late 2006 Intel iMac running x64 Win 7 Pro. You basically have to use some Windows sleight of hand to force it to run. Cheers
Insert the Snow Leopard DVD in your optical Drive. Note the Windows Drive letter assigmnet for the optical drive (the instructions below assume it is D)
In the Windows 7 Start Menu Type “cmd”, then right-click on the program that appears and choose “Run As Administrator”. A DOS window will appear. You may optionally copy / paste the below commands from a document.
Then enter
D:
The enter
cd "Boot Camp\Drivers\Apple"
Then enter
msiexec /i BootCamp64.msi
The Bootcamp install will now run.

Photosmart B110a HP software won't install on windows 7 starter

I have a Photosmart B110a 3 year old wireless printer that is working on my home pc running windows 7 professional, but after buying a new notebook running windows 7 starter I can not install the HP software either from the install cd that came with the printer or by downloading the software from the HP website!
I have done a fresh install of windows 7 starter & have switched off antivirus & firewall but I still can't install HP software to install the printer.
(I was told I would have to pay £18 for technical support to get YOUR software to work my notebook, I don't see why I need to pay money for something that is clearly an issue with YOUR software?)
I don't have any problems installing any other software for any other software provider on my notebook either from the discs or by downloading, so the issue is isolated to just YOUR software!
When I try and left click on the setup exe logo when the disk spins up the cd window disappears and nothing happens, no software in installed! Tried copying the contents to my notebook and try to manually install but that does not work either!
Downloading the software from HP website results in the software unzipping/unpacking but then nothing happens, install window disappears! Yes I have switched off & even tried uninstalling my antivirus & firewall without any success! HELP!!!!!!

Have you already tried running the install wizard? This will help resolve some potential problems.
