Factory Settings...

[DefiantAsh]

How do you restore a laptop/netbook to factory settings?...

Im asking this because my Acer Aspire One D255 Dual core Netbook didnt come with any re-store dvd's inside the box, which was Acer Sealed and bought brand new :/.

I am wanting to restore to factory without having to stick another OS on.

Current OS - Win7 Starter 32bit

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Tarr.

Look in the start menu for Acer eRecovery software or something. Jut run it from there.

Got it

Will leave it for the next few weeks as it will still be in use for College/Uni.

This removes all my data and personal information like emails and passwords stored in FF?

Cheers.

It will do. There's usually an option to keep/backup your files first. You should be able to access it from bootup aswel, pressing an "F" key.

I really wish they would supply some sort of install/restore dvd

Even if they spanned a recovery image over two discs or something

Yup, i had read reviews and saw videos, didnt realise at first until it arrived.

It didnt bother me, until i wanted to sell up and save for a new one - Asus Transformer

At least now i can restore it to factory settings and see where and when i can get rid
