Alternative Guide for Dimension based Dell products.

Hit F11 to access the boot menu.
Select "Repair my PC" from the menu that follows.
You will boot into an environment with diagnostic and repair tools. Select "Factory Image Restore".

The model that I have doesn't have an F11 key, at the Dell screen there is an option to hit 2 for Setup and 0 for Boot Options. Not sure where to go from there.

Greetings all,

I happened across a Dell Inspiron laptop that would not respond to hotkeys to access the restore partition, I was however able to trip it into startup repair mode which by stopping that I was able to access the retore GUI and set it back to factory shipped state.. Maybe that will help some who cant access the restore using conventional methods. 😉

With this recovery method, you can recover your system literally within minutes. It uses a separate section of your hard disk called a partition that contains a system image.
