XPS Studio software problem...

I was doing a system restore and chose the wrong thing and it wiped me out when I cancelled. Anyways Im at the "Missing Operating System" screen. Ive tried pressing F8 a 100 times when booting and I was also told to try F11...nothing is getting me to the "Advanced Options " screen. All I was do is restore it back to factory now. Ive ran Diags on it with no errors so not sure what my next move is..:emotion-9:

If the PC came with Windows XP, CTRL/F11 at POST will access the Dell recovery partition (if it's there and not corrupted).  If the PC came with Vista then F8 at POST.  If the PC came with XP and was upgraded to Vista or Windows 7, it will require reinstalling with discs.
