msi recovery mode. Restoring a laptop operating system without a disk

Home / Operating systems

Recovery - what kind of program is this? Translated from English language into Russian "recovery"- This "recovery". Recovery is a program preinstalled by the manufacturer on the laptop’s hard drive or in internal memory smartphone, which allows you to roll back the device (laptop, phone, tablet) to its factory state. On smartphones, this program is launched from the off state by simultaneously pressing and holding the power button and the volume button (usually “up”, but sometimes “down” or both at once) for a few seconds. There is no such uniformity for laptops.

When the laptop starts to slow down terribly due to a bunch of installed and incorrect remote programs, system garbage, a lot of temporary files and other unpleasant things, the most logical solution is to roll back the system to its original state. In this article we will figure out how to return a laptop to factory settings, using the example of all major manufacturers.
Many users will argue that it is easier to reinstall Windows. But a system rollback has the same consequences as a reinstallation, but it is much faster and does not require boot disk. In addition, users are freed from the need to search and install drivers - after returning to the original state, they only need to reinstall the programs necessary for operation.
Each laptop manufacturer equips its devices with proprietary recovery utilities. However, working with them is carried out according to the same scheme and requires compliance with a number of rules:

During a system rollback, the adapter must be inserted into the laptop so that the power is not interrupted. Interrupting the rollback procedure can lead to more serious problems than just a lagging computer.
All important data from hard drive It’s better to first transfer them to removable media - after successful recovery, you can return them back.
In some utilities you can only restore system partition(drive C:) or all sections of hard disk. It is recommended to do full recovery(in this case, all data from the hard drive will be deleted, so transfer it to another location - see point 2).

Accordingly, in all cases, to restore it is necessary to have a) LiveCD with Ubuntu Linux b) External HDD USB drive We boot into Ubuntu Linux, copy all the important data (you can install midnight commander under it - an analogue of far manager by running the command apt-get install mc and copy it to the mounted /media/device_name) to another disk And only then do we boldly restore it.
