Read the manual and it will tell you the process. Get online
and got to www.google.com In the google search box type: "IBM
Support" or "Lenovo" (without the quotes and put your manufacturer name before Support).
Look for downloads and drivers. Enter your model number and operating
system when requested. Look for Manuals and search them for Factory Restore or System Recovery. Why not consider another option?
System Restore will allow you to select a Restore Point
(date and time) to set your system back to when it was working ok. It
does not delete any of your data, documents, music, pictures, videos or
programs (unless the program was installed after the Restore Date you
selected).
System Recovery (sometimes referred to as Factory Restore) will set your system
back to when you first purchased it. It Deletes Everything. Most
times the System Recovery does not work unless there is a recovery partition on
your hard drive created by the manufacturer. If you are trying to recover
from a set of cd's most times it does not work.
Instead of doing a System Recovery it's much easier to just Reinstall
Windows. Look on your computer for the Certificate of Authentication
(COA) Sticker. It will tell you what operating system is on your computer
and it will give you the Product Key Code (a series of 5 letters and numbers)
that you will need to activate windows. If you don't have an operating
system disk, borrow one from a neighbor, friend, relative or co-worker. Just
make sure it is the same as your COA Sticker's operating system or it will
never activate. Also make sure you get the COA Product Key Code for the
disk you borrow because sometimes the system will ask for the one that is on
your system and sometimes it will ask for the one from the installation disk.
If your Lenovo desktop is pre-installed with Windows operational system, press one-key reset key when your laptop is power off. Or press Shift + B to come back to factory setting instantly when Lenovo desktop is open.
Or press F2 when your Lenovo desktop is powering on. Few seconds later, a dialog pops up with several options, one-key reset and reset factory setting. Follow the operation wizard to reset factory setting is OK.
