    If you bought the computer with Vista and upgraded to Windows 7, that restore partition may be history.

    Try this:

    1. Click Command Prompt from the System Recovery Options window.
    2. In the Administrator window, type the following lines, pressing <Enter> after each line.
    path d:\windows;d:\windows\system32
    d:
    CD Tools
    PCRestore
    3. In the Dell Factory Image Restore window, click Next.
    4. In the Confirm Data Deletion window, click to select Yes, reformat hard drive and restore system software to factory condition, and then click Next. The message Factory image successfully restored! appears when the process is complete.
    5. Click Finish to restart the system.
