The whole purpose of a factory reset is to wipe all data, settings, everything. Trying to do a factory reset with the disks removed will achieve nothing.
Why do you want to reset things back to factory default?

Have you tried a different web browser?
Have you downloaded the logs zip and checked the logs for clues (you can send the logs in if you like, see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?- xuco80Aug 27, 2018Tutor

The logs zip would still contain relevant logs. Some of the logs are generated on demand and others even if they were "erased" would quickly be repopulated with info useful for troubleshooting. It would still be worth looking at those.
Depending on what the problem is an OS Re-install might help. It leaves your data intact.
