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 Factory Image Restore returns your hard

drive to the operating state it was in when

you purchased the computer. This procedure

permanently deletes all data on the hard

drive and removes any programs installed

after you received the computer. Use Dell

Factory Image Restore only if System

Restore did not resolve your operating

system problem.

If you received an

Operating System disc with

your computer, you can use it to restore your

operating system. However, using the

Operating

System disc also deletes all data on the hard

drive. Use the disc only if System Restore did

not resolve your operating system problem.
