Recovering Windows Media on a Satellite Laptop
This was done on a model L505-S5990 and L505D-GS6000
These machines are not shipped with any install media. You can recover to an out of the box state with the following steps.
- turn off
- remove battery
- remove AC power
- wait 30 seconds
- install battery
- connect AC power
- hold the 0 key
- while holding 0, press the power button
It should then give you a black and white screen with a status bar and a message reading "loading files". From here you can restore the system.
