factory reset without hp_tools

0
0

Hi!

I need to delete one of my primary partitions in order to install in dual boot another OS. The only two that I can delete are the Recovery Partition and the HP_tools partition.

If I delete the HP_tools partition, will I be able to factory reset my laptop using the Recovery Partition or the HP_tools is needed?

Thanks!

My laptop has been compromised by a hacker. How can I backup and store my data for recovery later?

I got this HP laptop about 3 years ago. I don't know the model because the stickers have been removed and I can't access the . 

A few months after I got it, code windows would randomly appear on the screen and then disappear. 

Later on, after blocking a Facebook stalker, the device was hacked, and the hacker took control of one of my social media accounts. Ever since the device has been acting as if it has a mind of its own:

-saying there are no available network connections, even when other devices are connecting to the network

-the screen goes black whenever I turn it on

-restarting or turning off on its own even when the battery is charged

-every time I try to manually restart the device, two programs temporarily prevent shutdown. I forgot the name of one but the other has "Broadcast Event Window" in it.

-Exiting applications such as wordpad while I am using them

-Control panel searches are disabled; the search freezes right before the result can appear

 

Recently, after getting frustrated, I messaged the person whom I believed to be the culprit behind the attack. Literally seconds later the device froze, and only pressing the power button could turn it off. Afterwards every time I tried to unlock the computer, a black or blue screen would appear. On top of this, the laptop had shown no recent signs of suspicious activity until the message was sent.

I'm not a tech addict, I can live without my laptop, but I am just going to buy another one. However, I would like to backup and recover the data from this one. Is there any way I can have assistance in doing so?

Laptop won't turn on

I just recently bought this laptop right about a month ago and it just recently started acting up for no reason. When I press the power button, an orange LED light comes on, the screen lights up with no images, and there is a noise; but the laptop doesn't turn on. I can hold the button in, but eventually the screen just goes back to black, the noise stops, amd the LED light goes off. How can I fix my laptop and get it working properly again?

Computer will not go past HP logo screen ....

Hello,

The other day I decided to reset my computer in hopes of having it run more smoothly. I don't really have a lot saved on it besides a few games, but it said I have low storage memory. I save all my music, documents, etc. on my flash drives. I've done a reset before with no problems so I am very confused as to what went wrong this time.

So I go to the menu & click reset (all drives, just erase my files as I'm keeping the PC, etc.). After a minute, I would look at it & it would be at 3 percent, then 5, but soon it would say a problem occurred while resetting. Okay, so I tried to reset it again & the same thing happened. The highest it got to was 38 percent. I tried it 2 or 3 more times & eventually gave up. When I tried to start my computer back up it would freeze on the HP logo screen then go blank (black screen). I knew something was wrong because the little symbol that rolls around while the screen loads up did not pop up.

I turned it off then tried to start it up again & ran into the same problem. I looked up some possible solutions to this on my phone & none worked (holding the power button for however long). I pushed the F11 button & was able to make it to the recovery screen. I pushed F8 for startup settings, but the screen would flicker & not go to it.

While still on the recovery screen, I pushed F8 & decided to run a system test. I ran the extensive one & saw that my computer passed it. This gave me hope that my computer is salvageable.

Please, any help would be much appreciated. Might I add, that I put I don't know the OS, but I think it's Windows 8. Again, any help in fixing this would be GREATLY appreciated.

Since I did a restore on my computer, I've not been able to store file history on the SD Card (D drive). The error message I get is '0x80028ca0 mismatch'.  Any help that is forthcoming, would be of immense help as file history is, in the meantime, being stored on the C drive!

When updating to Windows 10 Anniversery Update (1607) everything goes fine till the first restart of the computer.

Nothing happens even if you wait for about 8 hours. The screen is blank and the keyboard does not respond.

 

After having turned of the computer and started it again you get the information: "Restore the earlier version of Windows..."  (Windows10 for home use).

New Pavillion 15-AU103tx Keeps Freezing

I just bought a new HP Pavillion 15-au103tx yesterday.  Upgraded the RAM to 8G. 

 

After I switched on, it did not even last more than 30 minutes before it starts freezing.  Yesterday, it froze 6 times randomly.  Today it has frozen 2 times and as I type I do not know when or why it freezes.  Really disappointed.

Computer shuts off when loading recovery disks

I purchased recovery disks for my envy dv-7 7323cl. I start the machine with disc one in the drive and it loads completely, pops open the drive, and waits for disk two.  After inserting disc two, you could see the light flashing on the drive, but after a short while, the computer just shuts off.  Can anyone help with this?  I had some help from Riddle_Decipher of HP previously, hope you’re still out there.
