Windows 10: My Computer did a power recovery and put my computer to factory??

I must have done something in error as my Yahoo emails started to delete "All emails" I immediately clicked cancel and forced a shutdown.. Usually this had no ill effects - Just "normal" start up afterwards. but this time something was not "normal" and it took a very long time of just balls going arround. I forced another shutdown as I have done before with no problems and expecting "normal" start up as after a power outage.

The Screen came up with Cyberlink Power Recover withe the Assuring Message Power Recover (P.R.) will back up all data
on C:\\Users to the Folder C: Backup my Data You May find it in that Folder after the Restoration is Complete.
options to click (Previous); (Start); (Abort); (OK): I clicked (OK).

After USB connecting an unused 1TB HDD (just in case).
I felt reassured, but knowing I was out of my depth to understand.

There was a Step1 Completion then Step2 Start Restoration.

The next Screen Restore Image Path : E\ RECOVER\factory .wsi (Now I am Panicking)

Current file: Initialising.... Soeed : 0 Bytes /Minute Time elapsed 02:30 Time left : Blank

Message Comes up cmd.exe - Corrupt File
The File or Directory (D:\Windows\CbsTemp\ 308729 (sine wave (~) symbol) is Corrupt & Unreadable Please run the Chkdisk Utility.

file & Unreadable with Instruction to Run Check Disk Utility (OK) I clicked (OK)

I had to leave it running after 21 minutes on checking
Re Power recovery is Now Image Path: E:\RECOVERY\ ....
Current File Recovering!!!! Speed 1.18GB/Min. ( This did Vary) Time elapsed 52.49 Time left 18.18 This also varied.

When it eventually stopped and the computer restarting

706,048 File records Processed, 861,274 Index entries Processed

Then it continues deleting Corrupt Attribute record (128,... 0 ( I am copying the screen as fast as I can)

Continues with deleting Index entries Until it NEEDS A COPY of ACTION AND A SECOND RESTART
Starting Windows
Setup isUpdating Registery etc Until It Says Preparing your Computer for 1st Use!!!
I now have Windows 7 Home Premium
I may have some existing documents in C:\ Back up my data.
But as I have had a progression of Windows Operating systems and certainly two of my previous several computers involved with links I had not updated in case they were lost. There are lessons to be learned.

Can the Forum help me to get back to just before this happened on the 9-10th March with W10 and my files perhaps with some difficult links that I could check one by one

I may have to get a new clean 1TB HDD to Copy *.* everything if possible incase I lose what I have at the moment.

Factory Reset Win 7 (without disc)

This was the answer! Thank you so much! I love this forums!

 

One computer cannot access other network computers.


So I've tried every troubleshooting step I know:

• Double checked that Net Bios was enabled
• Ran a bunch of network commands:
  • flushed DNS
  • registered dns
  • pinged and located the named computers successfully
• Reset my router to factory settings

Nothing works when I try to access via explorer. I'm still baffled by the fact that every other computer can access each other AND access this computer. It's just the outgoing connection from this machine that doesn't work.

Any thoughts?

 

Factory Reset Win 7 (without disc)

Download an ISO of the Avira AV boot CD, burn it on your own computer, and then boot from that CD on your mom's computer and run a cleanup.

Seriously, you should just download a Windows disc and format the laptop. Best and easiest course of action.

"Information:
Many Toshiba laptops come with the factory software recovery image stored in a special (hidden) area on the hard disk. From this special hidden image, you can restore your computer to its factory-fresh software condition by following these steps:

To restore the original factory software image on your computer follow these steps:

• Make sure the computer is turned off ("Shut-down" from the Windows Start menu)
• Remove any peripherals such an external mouse, keyboard, monitor, USB flash drive etc.
• Make sure the AC Adapter is plugged in and working.
• Press and hold down the 0 (zero) key on the keyboard while powering on the computer. Release it when the recovery warning screen appears.
• If the recovery process offers a choice of Operating Systems, select the appropriate one for you.
• A warning screen appears, stating that when the recovery is executed all data will be deleted and rewritten.
• Click Yes to continue.
• When the Toshiba Recovery Wizard opens select "Recovery of Factory Software" or the appropriate option for your needs.
• Continue to follow the directions restarting as necessary.

Please note that the process may vary slightly from machine to machine, that you may be asked to insert disks (multi-disk packages) and that the process may take one to two hours to complete. The recovery process will require you to restart your computer several times.

As you use the recovery process you will have several options. One of these may be to create a custom size partition. Follow the directions on screen for this and other options as prompted. When in doubt, it's usually best to accept the default, or pre-selected option."

If you are incapable, or uncomfortable with following any of the recommendations on how to restore the laptop, then I recommend you take it to your local IT guy and ask him to do it for you. Sometimes the best of us have to visit a ripoff merchant to get something fixed, or even just tested...
