Using Dell PC Restore
NOTICE:
Using Dell PC Restore or Dell Factory Image 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 or Dell Factory Image 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 (Windows XP) or Dell Factory Image Restore (Windows
Vista) 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. Data files include documents, spreadsheets, e-mail messages, digital
photos, music files, and so on. If possible, back up all data before using
PC Restore and Dell Factory Image Restore.
