masbcubsta,

Below is information on restoring the system to factory conditions.

* Restart the PC

* When the Dell splash screen appears, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen

* Press the Down Arrow on the keyboard to select Repair Your Computer [press Enter]

* Specify the language settings that you want, and then click Next

* Click Restore my computer

* Click Next

* Click Factory Image

* Click Next

* Click Restore without preserving new or changed files

* Click Next

* Click Yes, continue

* Click Next

* When the restore operation is completed, click Finish to restart the 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,
