Trying to do a factory restore without discs
I have a Dell Inspiron 1525, Late 2007 version. I am a complete noob when it comes to talking about computers, so I would appreciate it if any answers will be as simplistic as possible.
So, I'm trying to sell this old laptop, but I want to restore it to factory default. I don't have the CDs, the F8 procedure to go to Advanced Booting Options doesn't show the "Repair Your Computer" Option. Is there anything that I can do or can someone refer me to Dell Techs who will send (if they have it) the repair discs?
I don't know it if it matters but the hard drive was screwed up, so a newer one is in this laptop.

Hi Araya,
The Integration between Windows startup repair screen and Dell Factory image is corrupted that is the reason you are not able to use the PC restore option. Performing manual reinstallation of operating system using the disc is the next ideal step.
