System restore Eee PC

Solved
Hello,
I hope to find a solution to my problem here. I have an Asus Eee PC and I wanted to connect to Wi-Fi knowing that I am a subscriber to Alice:
First, I contacted Alice's technical support, who could do nothing on their end. Then I was directed to the ALICE forum. At first, I logged into this forum to find out how to connect to Wi-Fi with my EeePC
I found a procedure that I followed on my Eee PC:
You open a console (CTRL + ALT + T)
You type: sudo bash (entering pseudo admin mode)
You type: sudo kwrite /usr/bin/startsimple.sh
(editing the file to modify)
You add the command just before exec icewm: sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling=0 -->
(is it zero[u] or/u an "O "?)
You save the modification
You close the console
You restart your EeePC and .... Miracle NOTHING WORKS NOW? I only have a flashing black screen.

Then I was told to launch the recovery with F9, which I did, but it’s still the same.
With the help of the support DVD by pressing F2, I get a table written in English and I don't know what to do! It mentions "USB:DVD " is there a cable to connect? If so, which one is it?

I don't want to launch with the USB stick yet; I know it's complicated unless I can't find other solutions.
In the user manual, it says, "Don't hesitate to contact us, but WHERE?"
PLEASE HELP ME, thank you! Configuration: Windows XP Firefox 3.0.1

  1. Hello,
    follow this procedure:

    Restoration from the hidden partition Eeepc

    At startup, you need to press the F2 key several times quickly. You will then be in the BIOS; using the keyboard arrows,
    navigate to the Boot tab, select Boot Booster, press the
    "Enter" key, choose "Disabled" and press F10 to exit the BIOS while
    saving the changes.

    During the next startup, you need to press the F9 key several times
    quickly. Then, on Windows Boot Manager, choose Windows
    Set Up and press enter; a window "Asus preload wizard" will appear, validate
    with "Enter" (or Next...), choose the third option, validate (Next...), you
    will initiate the restoration.

    Make a backup of your data before proceeding with the
    restoration, as you will erase everything on the hard drive.

    restore your Asus Eeepc

    2. Hello, I have the same kind of problem but with an Asus series 6000, model A6VC. I currently have 2 Windows installed and 2 hard drives that are full. I would like to repartition my hard drive into a single disk, but I have several issues:
      - my recovery CDs crash (especially the 2nd one): I’ve tried several times, no luck
      - I'm not sure I have a backup partition on the D drive.
      - the F11 key does not respond at startup
      - I don’t have the boot booster

      I can't take it anymore; I sent it for repair to a computer shop but the guy supposedly didn't understand what I wanted.... Can someone help me before my computer goes out the window? Thanks in advance!

    4. F9 or Shift+F9 does not work on my EEEPC 901
      if I managed to enter the setup with F2 to disable the Boot booster, the rest does not work.

      1. I disassembled and reassembled the Asus EeePC 1015PEM, but when I turn it on, the disk doesn't spin and the processor doesn't either. The power supply voltage is fine, the light is on, and when I press the power button, the board is powered, but the fan and disk do not spin.

        Does anyone know the trick to start this machine?
        Thanks in advance to everyone.

    3. My radical solution for the new EEE PC running XP:

      Restore a restore point!

      Of course, on a PC that was only a week old, I didn't lose much data, but my connection fixed itself.

      1. lol I hope it works today!!! But it doesn't help anyone when XP doesn't start.

      2. Hello everyone, I have an EeePC and every time I turn it on, it shows something like "license agreement". I follow all the instructions, but when I restart, it brings me back to the same thing (License agreement). Thank you for helping me.

        Good evening,
        If I remember correctly, it is at the first startup that there is this license agreement, and after accepting the license, it should no longer display.

    5. Hello
      I completely understand that some people are lost!

      Some talk about their Asus Eee running XP while others respond based on their Asus EeePC running Linux!

      STOP!

      There is an excellent post from Asus support a bit higher up for Asus XP.
      For Linux, a few interesting addresses.

      And I drown in my disdain for the guy who comes to mention his Ubuntu in passing! If one day he happens to have a breakdown with a Renault diesel, he would have a funny look on his face in front of a guy praising a petrol Peugeot instead of helping him fix it!

      I am writing this after restoring an Asus EeePC running XP by following the (useful) support post.

      Good luck!

      1. For Linux, I can't say anything since I don't have it on my eepc, but what is certain is that none of the proposed solutions work on the eepc 904 hd. The hard drive is in a capable and bad status, and Windows XP is corrupt. None of the function keys or key combinations yield a result on the screen, the keyboard seems unresponsive, but the USB ports recognize the connected devices, including storage! I will try to boot using USB, but I don't think I'll make much progress. I believe I will end up replacing the ASUS OEM with a clean XP Pro.

    6. Press F2, it will give you a table in English. Press F9: OK then F10: OK.

      1. I have an Asus Eee PC 1008HA, and I wanted to restore it, but the battery cannot be removed, and there’s no small hole... etc.

        However, a combination of the F2/F9 keys allows you to launch the recovery program. I believe it’s F2 followed by F9 at the beginning of the start-up; you might need to test the timing, but I pressed F2 and then F9 right away.

        That's it.

        1. Thank you, it works F2 F9 on startup.

      2. I own an EeePC 1000H.

        After reading your suggestions, I tried a bit of everything. In the end, it simply worked by doing:

        Pressing the reset button under the computer
        Starting the PC with the reset held down
        F9, with the reset still held down

        The restoration started on its own.

        1. I read your post correctly, but I'm having trouble. I downloaded the file onto a USB stick, but I can't open it because my eepc doesn't ask to open it with a program or use the web that I don't have.
          I think there's something I didn't do because I feel like it's an image file, but I honestly don't understand, I thought it would just launch and that's it... but no.

          I need help, I'm at my wit's end.
          I'm so frustrated, my PC is unusable.

      4. Hello

        I have the same problem with my Asus Eee PC 900, no internet connection at all (it keeps loading and closes the window after 30 seconds, like a virus, well I'm not a pro), this has been happening since I tried to restore it following the examples from different people above. Because before I at least had my connection. However, I don't have sound anymore, nothing at all (well that's my fault, one day I wanted to make space because there was no capacity on this computer and like an idiot...yes yes I know!
        I obviously don't have the CD to reinstall and I don't have a CD drive on the computer.
        I would like to restore it to factory settings but I have the feeling it’s really an impossible mission!!!
        Does anyone have a solution for me....not too complicated as I am certainly not a computer expert....after messing around with this computer that was brand new at the start, I messed everything up.

        I just want to restore it to the way it was when I bought it and especially not to touch it anymore....right now it’s really annoying and unusable...

        Thank you for your help.

        1. Hello,
          to see your recovery partition, right-click on 'This PC' and go to 'Properties/Manage/Disk Management'. There, you should see a partition with a total of about 4 to 9 GB.
          So, if you do not have this partition, you cannot restore your Asus.
          1
          1. Hello,
            I think we need to see if you already have a recovery partition in order to perform the restoration.

            To visualize this partition, you need software, which I can't remember. It's a recovery software.

            1. Un "soft" peut désigner plusieurs choses en fonction du contexte, mais généralement, cela fait référence à un logiciel ou à un programme informatique. Dans d'autres contextes, notamment en marketing, cela peut aussi désigner un produit ou un service qui est moins agressif ou plus agréable, souvent en opposition à un "hard." Si tu cherches une signification spécifique, fais-le moi savoir !

              1. Hello everyone
                I have an EEE PC running Windows XP, with a wireless connection via my Neuf box, which was working properly until this morning. After a system restore, my PC no longer detects any network, fortunately I had a wireless USB WiFi adapter and that works but I don't understand where the problem could be, does anyone have a solution?
                Thank you in advance.
                P.S.: I'm not very skilled in computer science :P

                1. First, try pressing (at the same time) the Fn key (bottom left) + F2 (this key usually has a small WiFi logo, which is used to enable or disable WiFi). If that doesn’t work, check if your hardware is installed correctly. To do this, go to "Start," right-click on "Computer," and choose "Properties" from the options that appear. A window will open with several tabs; select the "Hardware" tab. In that tab, you will find "Device Manager." Click on it, and a page will open showing all the hardware on your computer. If your hardware isn't installed correctly, there will be an exclamation mark next to the network card. Right-click on it and select "Update Driver..."

              2. After 250 different manipulations, I finally succeeded....
                So to restore, you actually need to turn off your computer... press and hold the reset button underneath, and at the same time you turn it on, keep holding shift+F9
                and then you choose the third option: factory reset....
                And there you go!
