DellFactory Image Restore (Microsoft Windows Vista® only) returns your hard drive to the operating state it was in when you purchased the computer. Both permanently delete all data on the hard drive and remove any programs installed after you received the computer. Use Dell Factory Image Restore only if System Restore did not resolve your operating system problem.

Any changes that System Restore makes to your computer are completely reversible.
