Restoring Your Operating System

NOTE: If Dell Factory Image Restore is not available on your computer, use Dell DataSafe Local Backup (see”Dell DataSafe Local Backup” on page 58) to restore your operating system.

Use Dell Factory Image Restore only as the last method to restore your operating system. This option restores your hard drive to the operating state it was in when you purchased the computer. Any programs or files added since you received your computer— including data files—are permanently deleted from the hard drive. Data files include documents, spreadsheets, e-mail messages, digital photos, music files, and so on. If possible, back up all data before using Dell Factory Image Restore.
