Most often, among the user to restore windows 7 asus (others also) rollback to the previous state is applied.
To do this, create a save point on your computer / laptop. By default, this feature is enabled.
I will not describe this method here, since detailed description this procedure is in the article.
How to make an asus restore to factory settings in a laptop
Restoring the operating system to the factory settings of the laptop, this site is also described.
For acquaintance. Only there is a general description.
Below is purely for asus. To do this, turn it on and click on the F9 button - you will see the download window.
The program will prepare the files necessary for recovery, after which you will see a request.
The system will ask you whether to perform this operation and that after that all your files (data) will be completely deleted.
Next will happen reinstalling windows 7, vista or another, moreover, automatically, without your intervention.
During the process, the computer will restart several times - you will be warned about this.
Only such an operation is possible only if you bought your asus laptop with a pre-installed operating windows system 7 or any other.
Then on the hard disk there may be a hidden “recovery” section for recovery.
Another way to recover your asus laptop system from a hidden partition
Open in your Windows 7 "", go to the "system and security" section, click "administration" and click on the "manage disk partitions" line.
A window will open for you. There will be a list hard sections drive. In it, right-click on “RECOVERY” and select “make the partition active”.
After that, your asus laptop will reboot and the process will start from the hidden partition recovery windows 7.
The only trouble is that not everyone has the RECOVERY system recovery disk - many buy asus laptops - they are clean, and they install the operating systems on their own (friends, specialized centers or even sellers).
In such cases, it is advisable to immediately buy external hard drive and save on it the image of your OSes.
Then at any time you can quickly restore the laptop system to the original healthy state. Successes.
Many owners of Asus laptops encounter a problem when the OS starts to work unstably, as a result, the computer can either “slow down” very much or completely shut down. The modern operating system Windows 7 has a number of functions that prevent damage to the hardware, software and user data of the laptop. But it should be noted that with a fatal failure of the OS itself, there is a need for full or partial system recovery.
Five ways to return the OS to working condition:
- Rollback to the past. It is required to select from the menu: “Control Panel - Recovery- Launch system recovery. " Then you need to set the date by which the OS will be returned and finally complete the rollback. After rebooting the laptop, the working environment will have a state corresponding to the specified date. This method is relevant in cases where the OS has small interruptions with possible unstable operation of the laptop, but the key system files not hurt;
- Resuscitation through an image. This method performed by restoring the main working files through boot image Windows 7. This is the fastest and easiest way to return the working environment if there are damaged system files;
- Application special programs. Returning workspace to initial condition Through third-party programs, such as Acronis. They emulate the OS image on the hard drive of the Asus laptop itself. The resuscitation process using third-party programs is described in the instructions for these programs;
- Using a hidden section. Recovery through the "Hidden partition", which is present exclusively in the beech of the model in question;
- Reinstall. Completely restore the system by new installation Windows 7 on Asus laptop.
All laptop models asus, including the Eee PC 1001px netbook and the ultra-thin ASUS K56C ultrabook, have hot keys that will be needed when restoring a workstation. Most laptop computers of this brand have a Phoenix-Award or AMI BIOS, where a button for invoking the BOOT menu (a list of media connected to the laptop from which the user needs to boot the operating system or boot sector) Is the F8 or Escape key, and the Enter Setup call button (BIOS control menu) is the F2 or Del key. The key we need to call up a certain menu is also displayed in white letters on the black background of the monitor, this happens as soon as the device’s power is turned on.
Regardless of the type of Asus laptops, the difference between installing Windows is minimal. May vary:
- some menu call buttons;
- bIOS configuration with individual hierarchy of items and partitions.
If necessary, the buttons can be assigned the required functions. Everything else for the distribution installation process does not play a key role.
What happens during resuscitation through an image
When recovering by resuscitation key files OS in the Windows / System32 folder, you need an installation CD / DVD or flash drive with the OS. IN standard settings The BIOS of some laptops has a boot control lock control that must be disabled. To do this, in the BIOS management menu, go to the Boot submenu, and next to Launch CSM, set the value to Enabled. Next, go to the Secure tab and set Secure Boot Control to Disabled. Now it is possible to boot through the Boot menu from a specific medium where the installation image of Windows 7 is located. The next step will be careful monitoring of the OS step-by-step recovery through the boot image. After the “Restore system” item is selected, the bootloader will perform the work of transferring files. Corrupted files on drive C will be replaced by the reference from the boot disk.
Hidden Section Function
When restoring a system in a new generation of Asus laptops, a characteristic feature is the function of the so-called “hidden partition”, which is turned on by the F9 button immediately after being turned on via the power key. When pressed, a special menu opens, where you need to check the Windows Setup (EMS Enabled) option. The next step is to mark the language present in the list, after which the Next button opens a list of three actions, the essence of which is to choose the recovery path: either this is section C, or the whole hDD, or the same section C, but with the subsequent deletion of all other sections hard drive. It is important to know that to save information on a computer that is located on all partitions except C, you must select the first item “System Restore to the first partition”, in which case the data on other partitions will not be affected. This method is equivalent in its functionality to the standard return of the OS to its original state. But he has a huge advantage - this is a download in the style of " safe mode»Windows 7 with the ability to fix settings without downloading it directly. In fact, it determines the paths to the recovery files, and the bootloader built into the Asus laptop replaces a full-fledged system resuscitation program.
Full reinstall
And the last way to return the environment to working condition in Asus laptop computers, which is used in case of severe damage to workers windows files 7 or with a serious virus infection, is a complete installation of the operating system with formatting drive C. Here there will be the same manipulations as with resuscitation of the OS through installation disk or flash drive. To do this, you must first boot from the boot drive, by selecting it in the Boot menu via the F8 or Escape key, then follow the step-by-step installation. The essence of a full recovery through a “clean” installation is to format drive C. The formatting dialog will appear before the installation itself, it needs to be completed and waiting for the installation to complete.
Three stages of installation
- Downloading the installation CD / DVD or flash drive with the boot kernel of the operating system;
- Preparing the hard drive for OS installation by formatting the C partition and selecting the partition for installation;
- Follow the step-by-step instructions during the installation of Windows 7, after which the manual installation of all necessary drivers and other software is carried out.
It may be necessary to restore the factory settings of the laptop in many situations, the most common of which are any Windows crashes that interfere with the work, and the system is “clogged” unnecessary programs and components, as a result of which the laptop slows down, plus sometimes in this way they solve the problem “Windows is locked” - relatively quickly and simply.
In this article, we will examine in detail how the factory settings on the laptop are restored, how this usually happens and when it may not work out.
When to restore the factory settings on the laptop does not work
The most common situation in which restoring a laptop to factory settings may not work - if Windows was reinstalled on it. As I wrote in the article, many users bought portable computer, delete the bundled OS Windows 7 or Windows 8 and install Windows 7 Ultimate, simultaneously deleting the hidden recovery partition on the laptop’s hard drive. This hidden section contains all the necessary data in order to restore the factory settings of the laptop.
It should be noted that when you call “computer repair” and the wizard reinstalls Windows, the same thing happens in 90% of cases - the recovery section is deleted due to the lack of professionalism, unwillingness to work, or personal conviction of the wizard that the pirated build of Windows 7 is good, and the built-in recovery partition, which allows the client not to go to computer help, is not needed.
Thus, if any of this has been done, then there are few options - look for a recovery disk or image of the laptop recovery partition on the network (found on torrents, in particular, on rutracker) or take on a clean install windows on a laptop. In addition, several manufacturers offer to buy recovery discs on official sites.
In other cases, returning the laptop to the factory settings is easy enough, although the steps required for this are slightly different, depending on the brand of the laptop. I’ll tell you right away what happens when restoring factory settings:
- All user data will be deleted (in some cases, only from “Drive C”, everything will remain on drive D as before).
- The system partition will be formatted and Windows will be automatically reinstalled. Key entry is not required.
- Usually after the first launch windows automatic installation of all system (and not so) programs and drivers that were preinstalled by the laptop manufacturer will begin.
Thus, if you carry out the recovery process from start to finish, in the software part you will receive the laptop in the condition it was when you bought it in the store. It is worth noting that this will not solve the hardware and some other problems: for example, if the laptop itself turned off during games due to overheating, then most likely it will continue to do so.
