Inspiron P24T - Factory Reset Interrupted; how to recover?
My niece attempted to do a factory reset on her Inspiron, but forgot to keep it plugged in and the battery died mid-attempt. Now when we turn it on we get an error about the Windows installation being unable to proceed and needing to restart the installation. I do have access to F2 Bios and F12 Boot manager. But F8 Advanced Boot Options doesn't seem to work. F12 doesn't have a Repair or Recovery option.
Any thoughts? Options? Friendly and helpful advice?

You're going to need the recovery media you (hopefully) made when you received the system. If you did not prepare that, see here
