XPS 420 - Reinstall Factory Image
I have a Dell XPS 420. If I want to reinstall the factory image, do I do that from boot up off the hard drive or did my pc come with a disk? I ask because I cannot find a disk and the owners manual states at bootup and go from there. Also, I have since changed video cards so I assume that even though the factory image has the wrong video drivers, I will at least be able to boot up after the factory image is reinstalled with standard windows vista drivers...correct?
Thanks in advance!

F8 at power on (for Vista/Win 7) will get you to the Dell PC Restore. It will install wrong video drivers but you should still be able to see what is happening and install the correct drivers.
HERE is the Dell PC Restore Instructions.
