Restore factory settings problem (Inspiron 1525)
I want to restore the factory settings on my Inspiron 1525. I followed the instructions on this site by pushing F8 at startup, and the Advanced Boot Options did appear, but "Repair your Computer" was not an option on that list. What now?
Incidentally, these are the options I was given:
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Enable Boot Logging
Enable low-resolution video (640x480)
Last known Good Configuration (advanced)
Directory Services Restore Mode
Debugging Mode
Disable automatic restart on system failure
Disable Driver Signature Enforcement
Start Windows Normally
"Directory Services Restore Mode" sounded promising, but it just took me to Safe Mode.

Press F12 and boot from the CD/DVD drive. Then follow the prompts.

Thanks for the response--
I did put in the Vista disc earlier, but I wasn't sure what to do from there. I didn't get any prompts or anything. Do I have to do the F8 thing with the disc in?

You won't be able to do a quick restore - you will need to install using your Vista DVD.
