I have a new Latitude E6400 with Windows Vista Business SP1 just out of the box yesterday.  I haven't done anything but poke around in Vista.  I plan to dual boot XP so I've been reading plenty in these forums.  Before I do anything, particularly changing or removing the drive letter of the D: recovery partition, I wanted to make sure I could quickly restore to the factory settings if necessary.  Following the instructions in Restore Your Computer's Software to the Factory Settings I used F8 to get to the Advanced Boot Options, chose Repair Your Computer, and logged on but there is no Dell Factory Image Restore option in the System Recovery Options dialog.  Where is it?  Isn't that the purpose of the recovery partition?  These are my options in the System Recovery Options:

Startup Repair
System Restore
Windows Complete PC Restore
Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool
Command Prompt

I called Dell technical support and the rep said I had to create a system restore point.  What?  I have to create a restore point before I can restore to factory settings?  Any ideas where I can find the Dell Factory Image Restore option?  Thanks.
