Do these video clip things work for your laptop.

It's basically the same video but one fella might sound clearer.

No new shows last night there will be some this week.
Thanks, I have watched most of the first, so far he has not mentioned what to do without a recovery disc, he has just shown the ones that come from M'soft.

Survivor - ep 12

Episode 13
Thanks

I'm not sure why you want a recovery disc.

I am often a bit slow.

There is no mention of a recovery disc on video two I think they are no longer fashionable.

It is possible that the reset goes wrong, recovery discs needed to reinstall Windows and other software and drivers that came with it from the factory. It came with the stuff on a partitioned D: drive, the reset could wipe or damage that. I have always paid extra for disks when buying new since they stopped coming for free.

Resetting to factory settings like the chap in video two is quite safe well as safe as anything can be. I have done it a few times although with different makes of laptops there is a different F key to start the process.

They stopped issuing disks with computers in roughly 2009.

My son has done resets as well but always with back ups if it all goes wrong. So far, all attempts at normal updates etc have gone wrong or not worked so a reset without recovery discs is just asking for trouble. He is here for only a few more days, I want it sorted before he goes.

Once the process starts of resetting it normally goes smoothly it can take a while but when finished it will be as you bought it.


I did it to my laptop last in June I decided there was no files or TV shows I wanted saving on it so restored it.

I haven't used a back up disc for many years.

This laptop has hardly been used but it hits error messages whenever I try to do anything, even HP and Windows diagnostics cannot get to the root of it.

Would you like to see what Grandma Sue is up to in Samoa?

My advice would be to take the plunge and restore it even if it means not having a back up. The machine won't just go black and stop working.

OK for 3:34.

We can catch up with granny Sue after.

I would not be too sure about that!

I have seen links to sites offering recovery downloads when I was searching for solutions.

Pablo has power.

The factory recovery is designed for when nothing else will work because it wipes the computer clean and virus free.

I wouldn't trust any site offering a solution.

Pablo has been reunited with his large son.

They could drag out his time on the run for this series then recapture next one. The title Narcos does not limit them to Escobar but he is the one with magnetism.

The actor had to gain weight for the role to get that burger and chips diet look.

I had forgotten about the porker son.

I bet they are wishing they didn't include so much in the first series or pushed the dates forward so quickly.

Netflix should supply him with a gym membership when the show or his part finishes.

At the time they did not know how well it would be received, it was up against another on the same subject.

It looked brand new, he will not wear it out.

All the better to enhance his paunch.

The security man was wasting his time with Jaime.

Berna has the bulk but Pablo has connections and more money.

Jamie was so sure of himself he should know not to go up against a man in knitwear.
