Using Dell PC Restore in Windows XP
CAUTION: Using Dell PC Restore
permanently deletes all data on the
hard drive and removes any programs or
drivers installed after you received your
computer. If possible, back up the data
before using these options. Use PC Restore
only if System Restore did not resolve your
operating system problem.
NOTE: Dell PC Restore by Symantec and
Dell Factory Image Restore may not be
available in certain countries or on certain
computers.
Use Dell PC Restore only as the last method to
restore your operating system. These options
restore 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.
