MSI GS70 Recovery to factory default after formatted partitions

here is what happened, after getting my gs70 I installed Windows 7 on it. My mistake was I formatted all the partitions including the recovery partition without making recovery disks or back up. After installing Windows 7 I realized that my laptop is having BSOD due to driver issues.
So for weeks now I've been trying to get my laptop to it's factory default or back to Windows 8.
this is what I have so far. I have a friend that also owns the msi gs70 and I've asked him to make a recovery USB for me using the MSI BurnRecovery. The closest I've gotten was recover from it, now I am running Windows 8 with all the drivers and settings. But now my Windows 8 is not activated and is asking me to activate. Another problem I have is when I try to run BurnRecovery software from MSI it's stating that I dont have a recovery partition available and i dont have the default partitions or hidden recovery partition.
Please help...
thank you all, and happy new year

Hello riow,
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
I understand you would like to recover the C drive on your computer. If you do it properly, the D drive will not be affected. For more information on how to do it properly, please refer to this document: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7)
I would definitely suggesting backing up your files in any way possible. I will provide instructions on how to do this: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 7)
Please let me know your results. Thanks again for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Recovery of Factory Default Software

I'm trying to re-format my Satellite A100 Model: PSAAKL-00E002 OS: Windows Vista.
Upon starting, there is "BOOTMNGR is missing". I restarted then boot to CD/DVD where the DVD RECOVERY DISK is located.
I choose:
Step1. TOSHIBA RECOVERY WIZARD
Step2. RECOVERY OF FACTORY DEFAULT SOFTWARE (RECOVER TO OUT-OF-BOX-STATE)
Step3. RECOVER TO OUT-OF-BOX-STATE
(SYSTEM RECOVERY OPTIONS ARE INCLUDED)
Then, start loading/copying files. After that, this message appeared:
Cannot read from the source file or disk.
PREINST5.SWM
I chose SKIP. And it flag an ERROR: 10-FC06-002. Before this, I tried again.
What is the solution to this?
Need your help.

im having the same proplem with my A205, the excact same proplem, but i havent recieved help with that issue yet, best of luck to you.

L505 freeze at "recovery of factory default software"

I am trying to reset my L505 to factory default settings. The first part went fine. After the first restart it has froze at
"<recovery of factory default software>
preparing
Initializing the partition. Please wait..."
It has been on this screen for going on 40 minutes now with zero change. I am not tech savvy. Is it safe to turn off and see what happens? Is there something else I should try?
Thanks in advance!

Looks like you and I are in the same boat without a paddle. Just different laptop.

Help.New HDD recovery of factory default hanged

My Satellite M645-S110 Hard disk failed.I called Toshiba support and was advised to create a Recovery disk (4dvd) which I did and buy a new HDD. I bought and installed a new HDD (WD5000BPVT) and loaded the Recovery disk. It started the Recovery of Factory Default Software but failed on error in restoring PREINST10.WMM file. I tried this 2 more times and gave the same error. I assume the file was corrupted already when I created the recovery disk. So fortunately I have a set of recovery disc created when I first bought the laptop. This is what I have: 3 Recovery DVDs, 3 System Image dics, 1 System Repair disc, and 1 Windows Recovery Environment disc.
I loaded the no1 Recovery disc and the screen shows <Recovery of Factory Default Software> Preparing. Initiliazing the partition. Please wait... so far I've been waiting for 4hours. Is there another way of recovering? Please help!

Recovery of Factory Default Software or Erase the Hard disk

I'm tryiong to wipe my laptop (Satellite A305) clean and reinstall Vista using my recovery disk and the Toshiba Recovery Wizard. When I get the the point of no return I have 2 options, either Recovery of Factory Default Software or Erase the hard disk. I've tried to use the first option (Recovery of Factory Default Software) before and it didn't wipe the virus I have on my computer off so I want to try the second option (Erase the hard disk) but i'm not sure what will happen

To rid yourself of a virus, you should delete all the partitions and overwrite all of the sectors on the hard disk. Those bugs can hide even in other partitions.
See the section Recovering the original factory image (recommended recovery method), which begins on p. 62 of the User's Guide.
Satellite A300 Series User’s Guide
That Guide most likely applies to your computer. But if you reply, be sure to give us the complete model number. I've noticed that sometimes Toshiba modifies the Guide.

C855-S5190 restored via recovery to factory defaults, ran the Toshiba updater, no Windows Update

I'm desperately searching for help! My elderly father has a C855-S5190 and after trying the update to Windows 8.1 from the store, the laptop doesn't boot all the way up - kept giving various errors. So, he dropped if off for me to try to fix. I couldn't get around it so I did the restore to factory defaults from the restore disks.
After that all finished, I tried the Toshiba service station and it gave me about 7 updates that I installed. After that, I rebooted and then wanted to see about doing the Windows 8.1 update. Went to Windows Store - it says I need to do Windows Updates. I went to search, and now there's no Windows Update showing anywhere. I checked settings, and everything is empty under there as well. What happened??
If someone could tell me how I can possibly do the Windows Updates. I tried this once before trying the service center, the updates either fail, or they install, then it reboots, can't configure them, and gets stuck in a loop of trying to roll things back. That caused me to have to do another restore to factory defaults - I've had to do it 4 times so far, and I just don't want to get stuck in that loop again. So, I need to know what happened to my Windows Update, how do I get it back, and how the heck do I get this thing updated to 8.1?
I booted a Linux live media before starting and was able to recover the files, etc., he had on it to a USB flash drive since I knew doing the restore would wipe that all out.
Any and all input is GREATLE appreciated!!
Dave

Here's the link to the Microsoft page, I had to do this to get Windows Update to run. The Windows 8.1 upgrade would not let me do the upgrade until Windows Update was run, and I kept getting this error. It takes a *long* time for this to straighten out if you've done a factory defaults restore - several reboots, etc..

Satellite L645D - S4040 Recovery of Factory Default Software error 0x80070456D

I am trying to assist a friend with her L645D. It would not boot up, regardless of which option I chose or what I chose under f8. So I used 0 and began the Recovery of System Default Software. It started fine, but after awhile gave me this error: 0x80070456D. A tried to say "try again" but it gave me the same error. I considered using "skip" but was afraid it would crash and it has literally taken me days to get here.
The notebook would say..windows loading.. starting windows (with the little windows picture) then just a black screen. It wouldn't even boot up in safe so I can't get to the start or a dos prompt that way. Any ideas? Please help.
She has had this system for about 9 months.
Thanks

Ok I didn't have anyone respond, so I bit the bullet and told it to skip the error. I held my breath and it went through a bunch of windows, starting over and over, but eventualy did a recover back to original configuration. I tried some programs AND I restarted it over and over but couldn't ever detect where the program error was. In short, I think I am ok, unless it blows up after she gets it home... so if you are getting that error, try skipping. If you are in the same boat as I was, it couldn't get much worse.
Thanks

Windows 7 will not install after formatting partition

i am currently trying to install windows 7 on my mac mini, I am running on OS X version 10.7.3 and have a Window 7 OEM system builder pack. When I get to the point in boot camp where I select the partition i get the standard notification can not be installed because it is not NTFS. I proceed as setup guide describes and click advance and format. When I click next another notification comes up and wont intall Window 7. I attempted a couple of hard shut downs only to get to same screen. Unable to capture screen and post. Any thoughts out there, I can only think this system builder pack is not a full version however it say to be used on new CPU's. my thought new partition = new CPU?????

Okay,
I had removed the Windows 7 partition and just went back through my original steps to get the error message. I have a mac mini with one 400gb drive. I partitioned the drive and gave windows 7 100gb. After formatting the drive and clicking next, I get this message "Setup was unable to create a new partition or locate an existing partition. See the setup log files for more information." This is were my ability to problem shoot ceases.

MSI GS70 20D Touchpad not working after login when I upgraded to 8.1

Short situation: I upgraded my laptop to windows 8.1, and the touchpad stopped working on the start/desktop screens. I could move it before I logged in, and after it would work for a few seconds, but then it would just stop. An external mouse works just fine, but I still don't want my touchpad not working.
I looked on the MSI USA technical support page, and it said to delete the old drivers for the touchpad and download new ones. I deleted the drives, but every time I try to download the new ones, I get a window that says my touchpad isn't plugged in, and that the drive isn't compatible with my touchpad, which doesn't make sense to me because I looked up my product specifically and tried all three touchpad drivers. None of them worked.
Now I can't use the touchpad at all because I deleted the drivers, so it would seem that the computer doesn't know it has a touchpad because it won't register the touchpad in my devices tab.
Does anyone know what I can do to solve this? Or to at least get the touchpad to register again? I just got this computer for Christmas, I've treated it very well so it hasn't banged up against anything or been dropped or mistreated, so I cannot understand why this is happening. It worked before the 8.1 update, so I'm pretty sure the issue has something to do with that.

UPDATE: So I managed to fix the touch pad by deleting the driver and rebooting, which is weird because I removed the driver completely and never reinstalled it, so the computer shouldn't really know it has a touch pad. But every time I reboot the computer after fixing it, the touch pad goes back to it's old problem and I need to redelete and reboot all over again.
Also, My computer has begun to randomly freeze and not respond to anything, with one such event leading to a blue screen with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR message. The computer has frozen a total of 6 times, at different moments; when I'm typing on microsoft word, at the login screen, even right when it starts up and the msi loading screen is up. 5 of these times have required a forced shut down, the first time the computer shut off on it's own because it ran out of battery power.
Finally, my computer has begun to periodically for long stretches of time stopped detecting wireless networks and is asking to be plugged into an ethernet cable to connect to the internet. This has never happened to me before, and I know I haven't turned off my network sharing center.
I'm not sure why this is all suddenly happening. It's not like I'm banging my laptop against walls. I'm very careful when I move and use my GS70, so these problems are greatly concerning to me because I just got this computer at Christmas.

How to launch factory image after format of hard drive

I have an HP TouchSmart600 PC that had a nasty rootkit. I've backed up the Factory Image partition, and then deleted all partitions and formatted the entire drive. I will restore the Factory Image partition from backup. NOW.... how do I access it and use it to restore the PC to it's factory state?

You don't really perform a HP Recovery in that manner. It is very unlikely to work as the system links pointing to the recovery partition will be missing. You should have created a set of HP Recovery Discs when you first setup your computer. Please locate the complete model and/or product of your computer and enter it HERE.

MSI GS70 - Battery light blinking amber after Windows update

As the title says, but in a bit more detail, I was doing fine with my computer and didn't have this problem at all before the update. The battery charge indicator would either be a solid white for charging or off when it was at full charge. Now after a recent windows update that I did, it seems to charge fully and keep a 2 hour charge that it normally held, but now at full charge it blinks an amber color. I did a bit of looking into and apparently it means I have a defective battery that isn't holding much charge anymore or something, though it seems to be holding the charge just fine.
Is there a fix for this or am I required to send my laptop to MSI to get it repaired under warranty?

Hi, you can try MSI Battery Calibration:
http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GS70-2QE-Stealth-Pro-Silver-Edition.html#down-utility&Win8.1 64
And update BIOS, EC may help.
If battery is still abnormal after these actions, forward the problem to the repair center, good luck.
None of that worked, awesome. Guess I gotta ask the repair center, thanks for helping anyway.

How can i restore the factory setteings after formatting my ipod ?

I faced some error while trying to sync new songs in my ipod , so i did format the ipod from the windows 7 system , then itunts couldn't recognize it when it's plugged , and re-plugging the ipod many times didn't work ... so the situation now is my ipod is not recognized by itunes , and i only see message recommending restoring to factory settings , while itunes is always failing to connect to apple server (known that my connectivity is perfect) , and restoring the settings from my ipod doesn't seem to work .

Using Windows 7 and installing latest iTunes is very problematic, please read these iTunes posts, which describe a few correct steps to reinstall iTunes 10.5 if it is not working correctly.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16665727#16665727
I have been fortunate that iTunes 10.5 can't run off my OS X 10.4.
Good luck.

PCs won't recognise my HDD after formatting partition for TIME MACHINE

Hi,
I divided my WD Passport HDD in 2 250GB partitions, to work both with TIME MACHINE and also as an archive to share files and folders with other computers. Time machine has now backed up my system, but as I plugged the HDD in my PC it won't recognise it... I mean, it recognises that a USB storage device has been connected, but then it won't show in My Computer.
What can I do? does anyone know if there is any ways that I can keep my archive partition compatible with Windows?
thanks,
Fra

Hi Fra and welcome to Discussions,
I assume that your archive partition is using 'Mac OS Extended (journaled)' as file system, correct ?
If so, only MacDrive http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/ can help Windows to see and use this partition.
If you use FAT32 (a.k.a. MS-Dos in Disk Utility) or NTFS as file system on your archive partition, there are reports of Windows PCs not being able to see/use harddisks that uses GPT (GUID Partition Table - standard on Intel Macs).
You could solve this by reformating/repartitioning your external harddisk using MBR (Master Boot Record) as partition scheme, but not only will this erase all informations that are on your external harddisk right now, it will also prevent Time Machine from using this harddisk.
So, this is not a viable option for you.
Regards
Stefan

T520 Ultranav buttons reset to default after reboot

I love the touchpad and make extensive use of its capabilities. Nearly half of the programmable functions were reinitialized to factory default after reboot when I first bought my t520. Most of the problems were resolved little by little with subsequent software releases. The only problem that has not been resolved is the reinitialization of the left and right buttons. I have set them up to execute pre-recorded keystrokes. After I reboot, the left and right buttons are reset to left and right clicks respectively. Interestingly, the keystroke sequences are retained. I just have to highlight the "Record and play....." text and apply the change. It's livable but it's annoying. My drivers are up to date, windows is up to date, computer is clean as I am very selective as to what I install. Anyone else have initialization problems like this?

go to the folder /library/preferences/audio and delete everything in it. then restart and see if sound preferences hold from now on.
note: that's the library at the top level of the drive, not in your home directory.
