Inspiron 1545 - F8 restore factory settings not working

Hi,

I have an Inspiron 1545 laptop that I bought in November last year. I restored the factory settings a while ago to solve an issue and would like to do it again but when I try the F8 on the boot menu and choose repair my computer option it goes straight to the normal log-in and I don't get the option to restore.

Is there another way I can restore my laptop to the state it was in when I got it? Any ideas greatly appreciated!

You would have to install from the reinstall disk. You should have mentioned your operating system since the directions to restore are different for each. Read this.
