    Are you trying to open the application from the Start menu, or are you already there and trying to launch a recovery?

    at 4:30, they should have said to press F11 until you see the black screen saying windows is loading files. keeping pressing after is silly, cause its actually loading the recovery for you, you just have to wait

    Why indeed go back to the defaults, with all the crapware? For me, No thanks.

    its a fail safe. just in case your recovery partition fails, since it’s on the same hard drive, this is plan b.

  15. SlashBlastMichael

    where did you download windows 7

  16. SlashBlastMichael

    what happens if i delete the partition saying recovery?

  17. starkist1480

    Then it’s gone, you have to order a recovery disk set.

  18. SlashBlastMichael

    but will that add memory to my C drive, or do I have to delete the content inside the partition that says recovery and then in coomputer management and extend it to my c?

  19. starkist1480

    When you delete the recovery partition, then you can extend your C partition to the max, by using Disk Management, or a third party partitioning software. But I wouldn’t recommend it without making a recovery disk. So in the future your computer wouldn’t boot, or start. Just pop in the disk, with a 15-1 hour then you’re back on business.

    ok, thanks a bunch

  21. lones1324

    HELP! after i pressed f11 on my compaq v3000 laptop the pc restore wizard wont show up, its just a blank light blue screen.

    i tried it from the recovery disk and from the hard drive, still wont show up.

    how can i fix this? regedit?

    i can still get to the desktop but its really slow due to a lot of programs so i want to restore it.
    i can still access regedit, how do i fix it to show the restore wizard?

    thanks

  22. dezzra78
