So i followed the link and went through all the links once again only more carefully this time but couldn't find:

1. Where to place an order for Dell Recovery Media.

2. Maybe a download link from where i could get a copy of Recovery Media based on my service tag.

3. So i downloaded Dell Windows Recovery Image together with Dell OS Recovery Tool. Followed the instructions and got a very basic copy of windows now running on my system "which also wants me to activate windows either online or over the phone" with most of the drivers missing including Network Adapter therefore i can't get connected to the internet wirelessly. So i thought its time for the Dell Drivers and Utilities DVD, which i created while making the Dell Recovery Media, to come handy but guess what? Its as pathetic as the Factory Restore DVDs. It won't even load the Bluetooth & Wifi driver correctly. Now i am to do a whole great deal of research to get the wifi working!

Note: In my case i shouldn't really be looking into all these options because i followed the instructions my system came with to make Dell Recovery Media which should ideally restore my system to its factory settings.

I understand that my system warranty Start date was July 15, 2015 and end date was October 15, 2015 which gives me 3 months of DASP Parts Replacement only. But was it a three month warranty for software also? Shouldn't i be able to restore my system to factory settings anytime during the life of my system?

I did my part at building a dell recommended backup and if that backup is not enough to restore my system to its factory condition then Dell Must Say So in the First Place.

Dell recovery stops on 51%,disc 2 not detected

The subject Dell System was running windows 8.1 at time of making the backup and the day i decided to restore it to factory settings.

However i do have another Toshiba laptop  running windows 10 free upgraded from windows 8.1

When I look at the download page for that system, I see two check boxes which require a submission to Support.  I don't know what it does after that, but it does not nave a Win 10 download availability I can see.  It sounds like you used the built in utility to create the recovery media which may have a problem if your system had a problem prior to creating the media.

But two points, in some instances the second DVD needs to be used first.  That is how many backups to DVD used to work but I do not know if you have that situation.

Secondly, Win 8.1 will not normally be allowed to install over Win 10.  If that isn't your situation, some recovery media needs partitions already on the drive..  Is at least one of your DVDs bootable?  If it is bootable, what options are you given?

Same as problem here...... So otherwise  you can find solutions? ...... Well ask me immediately my email address here:
