Restore emachine factory settings

As soon as you see the eMachines logo appear on the monitor screen, press the "left-Alt" and "F10" keys simultaneously. Wait a few seconds for the Windows boot screen to appear, then press the "Enter" key. Click the "Restore Operating System to Factory Defaults" option after the eRecovery Management window appears. This is the default for most eMachines. If this doesn't help please let me know the exact model number and I will check if there is a different method than the one I wrote. Good Luck.

Some emachines can be restored by pressing ALT+F10, but not sure on your model. Turn on the computer and keep pressing the ALT + F10 keys at the same time.

You need to press the keys that correspond to your computer to restore.Dell XP = Ctrl+F11
Dell Vista = F8
EEEPC = Esc
Compaq = F11
HP Desktop Vista = F11
Emachine = F10
Acer = Alt+F10

It looks like you'll have to either return it or perform a default factory recovery. These instructions are from their site but proceed knowing that this will erase any data that is stored on the primary partition (meaning if you have anything on it, it's gone...). Esentially it resets it to a point as if you just picked it up in the store (which you did.. :( )

How can I restore my computer with the backup discs I created?
With user created backups you are able to restore your computer to the factory default settings. If backup discs were created instead of factory restore discs, these can be used instead and will restore the system to a user backup point.

1. Ensure that the computer is completely shutdown, then turn on the computer.
2. When the eMachines splash screen appears, tap the Alt and F10 keys simultaneously. A screen stating "Starting eMachines eRecovery" should appear.
3. From the recovery options, choose Restore system from CD/DVD.
4. Insert either the first Recovery or Backup disc that you created.
5. From the on-screen options, choose a backup.
6. Click OK and the installation will begin.
7. Change the disc as necessary when prompted.
   
   
   If you do not have a recovery disk:
   
   
8. Restart the computer.
9. When the eMachines logo appears on the screen, press the Alt and F10 keys repeatedly.
10. If you are prompted with a Microsoft Windows boot screen, press the Enter key.
11. After the system recovery application has loaded, follow the prompts to reinstall the Operating System.

Usually e-machine and other pc's have a factory restore setting set up in case of an error. You can; according to emachine tap the "Alt" and "F10" keys at the same time when the eMachines logo appears. Press "Enter" and follow the directions on the screen to recover the operating system back to factory condition. I hope that helps, if those keys don't work try F11 at the emachine logo. Good luck.

If your windows installation has no damage and you can access your desktop,emachines should have a utility that you can access the recovery wizard from there. If not ,during boot you should have a message for a sort period of time that say "hit F10 or F12 to launch the recovery utility)

Hi! Normally the emachine came with an eRecovery Disk that you can use to restore the PC back to factory settings. To do that follow this steps:

1. Press F2 to enter BIOS Setup during Power-On Self-Test (POST while the eMachines logo is being displayed).
2. Using the keyboard arrow keys, arrow over to Boot.
3. Refer to on screen instructions to set the first device to CDROM.
4. Press the CD-ROM drive eject button and insert the System CD.
5. Close the CD-ROM tray.
6. Press "F10", then press "Enter" to save the changes and reboot the system.
7. The computer will boot from the eMachines Recovery Media, follow the prompts to reinstall the operating system.

I have this disc, and will make a copy for You if You still need it.
