I've got one question..I just need instruction on how to restore my compaq presario 2500 to the factory setting.

Why not remove the virus with your up-to-date Anti Virus software? Or you freeware MALWAREBYTES at : http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/ Run a FULL scan , delete ALL results, reboot. If you have a Factory Recovery Partition,You can find the Factory Recovery procedure: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=115&prodSeriesId=242213&prodTypeId=321957&objectID=c00006110

While many problems can be solved by less drastic measures, Compaq owners sometimes need to restore their computers back to factory new condition.

If the operating system becomes corrupt, or if the computer is struck with a persistent virus, restoring the PC to its original factory default settings is often the best way to deal with the problem.

While older Compaqs relied on restore CDs to restore factory settings, newer machines come with a recovery partition built into the unit.

Shut down the Compaq computer and wait for it to power off.

Press the "Power" button to restart it.

Press the "F11" key as soon as you see a black screen.

This will boot the Compaq into the recovery partition.

Follow the on-screen instructions to back up any user files before the recovery process begins.

Click "Next" to start the recovery manager and follow the on-screen instructions.

Hope this helps.

If you have a recovery CD then boot up with this CD and follow the instructions.
If you do not have a recovery CD then you can download one from this WEB site.

If u Create a restoring poit & use a original copy operating System then u restore it nahi to operating system repair kar le.
if u want to restore ur BIOS then open ur Bios from F2 & Load its default settings by its given instruction.............

there is a hiden partion on hd disk, you restore to the factory settings, when bios booting, look for "restore system" key.Press the key only bios booting and follow the instructions. If not available, well you can reinstall windows with OEM CD and Follow Instructions. Good luck

What kind of PC is it? if its a Dell, all you have to do is on start up, press F-11 and follow the instructions.

When you purchased the computer, you should have received a set of "System Restore" CD-ROMs. Use them.

If you have lost them, telephone HP/COMPAQ, and order a replacement set of "System Restore" CD-ROMs. The cost could be $20 for the set, and $20 for courier-shipping. When the disks arrive, use them.

P.S. Backup all your music/files/bookmarks/contacts before doing the "factory" reset.

use recovery disk that came with computer

Do you have the restore discs to restore the laptop into the original state? if you don't please contact compaq for replacements.
