  1. Can't Reset My PC! and Various Problems!!


    Hi,

    So the problem is that I want to Reset my PC and Start Fresh!

    but I CAN'T.....'

    When i use the built in Settings app to Reset My PC, they tell me that they 'Could not find the Recovery Environment".........

    So i created a Recovery drive from a different computer since i want to enter into Advanced Startup to Reset My PC!!!!

    The usual Winload error pops up...when i boot from a recovery drive i created from a different computer....(can that be the issue??)


    Recovery

    Your PC/Device needs to be repaired

    The application or operating system could not be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors.

    File: \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe
    Error code: 0xc0000225

    You'll need to use recovery tools.


    Press Enter to try again.
    Press F8 for Startup settings.


    My PC is all fine, some stupid errors here and there....therefore i want to Reset my PC.....

    ..........

    So, Please help me!! I want to Start Fresh.... i dont mind if my pc deletes any file whatsoever, .....all my files are backed up....

    :)

    router logs DoS attack from a local PC....

    Well you did not say that you don't really know what you are doing. It's not a problem of course, but it changes things a little.

    It's not even clear if the PC or the router is the problem at this time, so I suggested that you disable some unnecessary things which are usually known to cause many problems, sorry if those were too complicated.

    • You could reset some network related stuffz on the PC as a next step. Open an elevated command prompt (run as administrator), and enter the followings on the PC:
      netsh int ip reset reset.log
      netsh int ipv6 reset
      netsh winsock reset
      netsh branchcache reset
      netsh advfirewall reset
      (note: You can export your current firewall rules in the "group policy" before the reset if it's needed for some reason)

    • Btw, Would it be a problem to reset the router to the default settings if the things we are trying will not help? There is a menu point for that called "factory settings" (and also a little hole on the back if you prefer that one).. the Administrator username in the router after the reset would be admin and the password is probably on a sticker at the bottom of the router (special settings needed to go online with your ISP might be also necessary)
      This is not needed now (not yet), but perhaps the source of the problem is at the router and not the PC in question, so we may come to that eventually.
    ps.: Do you have a second network card you could test in that PC and a different cable to rule out some hardware issues on the PC side?

    How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

    Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


    First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

    I will assume that these devices belong to you.

    step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
    step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
    step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
    step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
    step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
    step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

    Break command list: Break Commands

    Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

    If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".
