Restoring Your Operating System

System Recovery Media

CAUTION: Although the system recovery media is designed to preserve the data files on your computer, it is recommended that you backup your data files before using the system recovery media.

You can use the system recovery media, created using Dell DataSafe Local Backup, to return your hard drive to the operating state it was

in when you purchased the computer while preserving the data files on your computer.

Use the system recovery media in case of:

•Operating system failure that prevents the use of recovery options that are installed on your computer.

•Hard drive failure that prevents data from being recovered.

To restore the factory image of your computer using the system recovery media:

1.Insert the system recovery disc or USB key and restart the computer.

2.When the DELL™ logo appears, press <F12> immediately.

NOTE: If you wait too long and the operating system logo appears, continue to wait until you see the Microsoft® Windows® desktop; then, shut down your computer and try again.

3.Select the appropriate boot device from the list and press <Enter>.

Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the recovery process.
