Restoring Your Operating System

You can 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.

Starting Dell Factory Image Restore

1.Turn on the computer.

2.When the DELL™ logo appears, press <F8> several times to access the Advanced Boot Options window.

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 Repair Your Computer.

The System Recovery Options window appears.

4.Select a keyboard layout and click Next.
