Hi chegar,

Please share the operating system installed. If you are using Windows Vista, you may refer to the link http://dell.to/164LYPF. If the system came installed with Windows 7 you may refer to the link http://dell.to/1bHqmtN.

Note: Please backup the data as this process leads to data loss.

Hope this helps. Please reply if you have any questions.

I have a Dell Inspiron 537 with Vista Home Premium.  I saw all the posts that say press f8 to get to the advanced boot options.  when i get to the screen, I have not option for repair your systems.  Anybody have other ideas on how I can access the recovery partition to restore to factory settings?
