How to Restore Dell Inspiron 1525 to origonal factory settings ?
As instructed to do by many forums I press F8 to bring up the advanced boot options as my computer starts. From there I am told to select "repair my computer" the problem is this option isn't available and I'm having trouble finding other optionsseeing as all my software was pre installed and i have no disks, for clarity when i open the advanced boot options page this is what I see
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Enable Boot Logging
Enable low-resolution video (640x480)
Last Known Good Configuaration (advanced)
Directory Services Restore Mode
Debugging Mode
Disable automatic restart on system failure
Disable Driver Signature Enforcement
Start Windows Normally
I don't know if this is relevant but I recently upgraded from vista service pack one to SP2

Since the quick restore isn't in the boot list, you will either need to do a manual install or invoke the restore from a Windows DVD.
For the latter option, see

For a manual install
