How to reset hp G56 to factory ?

Performing an HP System Recovery Windows 7

Do you mean to do a Factory Reset?
HP Recovery Manager can be accessed from the Start Menu, or by tapping F11 key as soon as you power on the laptop. Recovery Manager is used to reinstall back to factory specs_also used to make a Recovery Disk set (or to a Flash Drive)

A system restore is actually as per factory setting. You will or should end up with the laptop just like the first day you got it.You won't have any of your stuff on it any more though. you will lose your picture and other documents during the process. If you are thinking of a system rollback which some versions call a restore that un-installs updates and other bits that might be causing problems.


To do a factory on an hp you just press F11 during boot or select it from the boot screen if that is set to show. It then asks if this is what you want to do and wipes everything out before setting up the operating system again. You can also boot from your restore dvd. This can either be a factory provided or ones you did when you first got the system. If you have Vista you may find the boot restore and the restore disks are useless. I've had several hps with that problem happening on top of the original issues. There were defaults in the files and the only way to fix was to order a new dvd from HP.


Past these basic things you can do you may have to take it to the shop as more software/tools will be required.

Click Start and enter Recovery in the search field. Select Recovery Manager from the list when it becomes available. Allow the action to continue, if prompted.

When the PC restarts, select the System recovery option and click Next .

If prompted to use the Microsoft System Restore program, click No , and then click Next .

When prompted, select the Back up your files first (recommended) option, and then click Next . Follow the on-screen instructions.

When prompted to Recover without backing up your files , please STOP before clicking Next .WARNING:This is the final opportunity to change your mind about recovering the PC and deleting all the files and programs. Once you click Next , the restore process cannot be stopped

If you are satisfied that you want to begin the recover process, click Next . The PC immediately begins formatting the hard drive and destroying all data.

a router does not make the notebook freeze. My cursor freezes up also on my almost new HP G56.

1. Do a BIOS memory test, to check your notebook memory.
2. If OK, make a system backup of your current installation on an external medium.
(just in case you want it back later)
3. Recover the factory setup installation and check the keyboard if it is working OK.
4. If not, the mainboard of the notebook is probably faulty.

There are two ways.

If you bought a new SATA and get a blue screen when you install win. server 2003, you have to go to BIOS and change HD setting. (not on 1st page for sure. I have to what option you have.)

Or

You have to get it from HP, but I don't know whether they have or they will give you for free.
