Restoring Your Operating System
You can restore your operating system in the following ways:
•System Restore returns your computer to an earlier operating state without affecting data files. Use System Restore as the first solution for restoring your operating system and preserving data files.
•Dell PC Restore by Symantec (available in Windows XP) and Dell Factory Image Restore (available in Windows Vista) 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 PC Restore or Dell Factory Image Restore only if System Restore did not resolve your operating system problem.
•Operating System installation media can be used to perform a reinstall of your operating system. However, using the Operating System installation media also deletes all data on the hard drive. Use the media only if System Restore did not resolve your operating system problem.
