Vostro 3700 will not boot -- need to restore from factory.wim
I cannot boot my pc and Repair Computer hangs. I see that the recovery ISO from Dell is not available for my computer. Thank you, Dell.
But I was able to get a copy of the factory.wim file off the Recovery Partition onto a USB stick before Final Failure occurred.
Two hours later after much searching I have no idea how to use this image to restore my machine to factory settings. I even made an ISO version of the file in case that would be needed to make installation media.
