    I used the 'FORMAT C:' command in CMD to reset my laptop as it wasnt working & now it just...


    I had a laptop which needed to be reset, the normal methods such as resetting via the windows repair screen, or using a bootable USB to wipe and reinstall windows 10 wasnt working, so i just reset it using CMD and the FORMAT C: command.This completed fine, but now when i boot the device, it is just stuck in th 'automatic repair' menu. I have tried the other troubleshoot options such as startup repair, using a USB stick with a windows 10 installer from MS, but the device doesnt boot to it for some reason despite changing the boot settings in BIOS, so i am abit stuck?How can i re-install windows

    :)

    How To Format A Write Protected Flash Memory ?

    ¿You already tried this one?...

    Run CMD


    1. diskpart
    2. list disk

    Then in the 3º step, put the correct number of disk in the list for the usb flash (if it's listed in disk 3, then you'll have to write select disk 3).

    2. select disk #
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    with that commands you will format the flash drive in fat32, if you have a large drive you can select also "format fs=ntfs" in step 7.

    good luck!

    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".
