To factory reset a Dell Inspiron 9400 (model PP05XB), follow these steps:
  1. Turn off the computer and unplug it from the power source.
  2. Press and hold the "F8" key on your keyboard while turning on the computer. Release the "F8" key when the "Advanced Boot Options" screen appears.
  3. Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to select "Repair Your Computer" and press "Enter."
  4. Select the operating system you want to repair and click "Next."
  5. Click on "Dell Factory Image Restore" and then click "Next."
  6. Follow the prompts to complete the factory reset process. Keep in mind that this process will delete all personal files, so make sure to back up any important data before proceeding.
  7. Once the factory reset is complete, the computer will reboot and start the Windows setup process.

Hold down the F8 key on your Dell as the computer restarts. Be sure to hold it down before the Windows logo appears. If you are using Windows XP instead of Windows 7 or Windows Vista, hold down Ctrl and F11.
