Dell PC restore fail..
Well, i got windows 7 Pro x86 installed on my dell vostro 3700.
Lately, i want to restore it to its factory settings..
On the support site of Dell, they said i should boot with F8, select "restore system" and then keyboard settings etc. and that the recovery image (Dell factory image) should replace all files currently on the HDD.
The problem starts with the booting..
I can get into the andvanced boot with F8.. but clicking enter on "system restore" just makes windows 7 boot as normal..
And, when trying to start up Dell backup & restore program (standard) it says that winRE isnt installed, so it cant work..
I do have a hidden partition "recovery".. it's about 14GB it think..
how can i still restore it?
