Glleos,
To Restore your computer using the Dell PC Restore program you can start the computer and TAP the F8 key. Once you have the Advanced Options on the screen choose Repair Your Computer" and follow the prompts to restore the system. Restoring the system will put the system back to when you first setup your computer.
CAUTION:
This utility formats the operating system hard drive partition prior to restoring the factory image. This means data on that partition is deleted and cannot be recovered.
If the customer creates a second partition with a third-party utility, Dell Factory Image Restore is not affected as long as the image partition is not removed.
Thank You,
Dell-Jesse1
