Dell Restore for Windows XP:

1. Turn on or reboot/restart the computer.
2. When the Dell splash screen appears during the computer startup process, press and holds CTRL key and then press F11 key . Then, release both keys at the same time.
3. In the Dell PC Restore by Symantec window, click Restore. Alternatively, press to highlight Restore, and then press.
4. When a warning message appears stating that all data will be lost, click Confirm.
The Progress window will appear. Once the restore process starts, Dell PC Restore by Symantec usually takes about 8 to 10 minutes to finish.
5. Click Finish or press to highlight Finish and then press to restart the computer.

Since Pc restore leads to Data loss, I would suggest you to back up your data before performing the above steps.

Hope this helps.

Thanks & Regards
