    Microsoft failing after factory restore


    Hi all,I recently did a factory reset of one of my PCs. After the reset, I got a User Profile failed to load, and I can no longer log into my PC. I have tried to restore the pc, factory reset the pc again, use various bootrec.exe functions, chkdsk functions, repair from recovery drives, and start up repair processes. The computer fails to enter safe mode, so that's a no go. There is only one user profile, and all these avenues have lead to some sort of error code. Path C: not found in the rebuild bcd. Startup repair fail due to an srstext file error. I have tried to fix the mbr, and nothing ha

    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".

    Factory Image Restore Option Missing After BCDEDIT Windows 10 Home 64

    As the title suggest, I no longer see the option "Factory Image Restore" in the Advanced Boot Windows 10.

    Laptop
    Dell Inspiron 7559
    Processor: 6th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-6700HQ Quad Core Processor 2.6GHz
    Memorry: 8GB Dual Channel DDR3L 1600MHz (8GB x 1)
    Graphic Card: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 960M, 4GB GDDR5 video memory

    Back Story


    1. Two days ago I tried to install hackintosh on the laptop while Windows 10 Home is intact. I installed it in a different partition on the same harddrive. So the Windows was at C and the Mac OS Sierra was at E while D is used for data storage.
    2. In the process of installation, I press F4 while highlighting the Mac OS installation and then tried to boot it. But I couldn't boot it. The hackintosh failed.
    3. I gave up, and then boot from the Windows 10 but it also failed. It showed that there is no bootable device.
    4. I made a usb bootable windows 10 to recover the bcd using the command prompt option in the installation but it still failed to boot.
    5. I ended up installing the new windows 10 on the E drive (wiping out the failed hackintosh). After doing this, I succeeded.
    6. I am able to boot to the new windows as well as the old windows.

    To keep things clean, I want to do a factory image restore. The problem is that because I used bcdedit before (see 4), I couldn't find the option to do the factory image restore.

    I read online that I can fix the bcd using the visual bcd editor. I have no clue how to use it.

    Here's a screenshot of the bcd visual editor on my computer.

    I wanted to be able to do a factory image restore.

    How can I do this using BCD Visual Editor?

    Thanks in advanced.

    Windows 8 Acer will not factory restart or refresh. Fails automatic repair.

    I have a Windows 8 Acer, I was trying to factory reset it. It failed the reset and also failed the automatic repair. It says Log File: C:\system32\logfiles\srt\SrtTrail.txt after failing. I tried the following in command prompt as I've seen it suggested
    and it didn't solve anything.

    • bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd
    • bootrec.exe /fixmbr
    • bootrec.exe /fixboot
