9.3 Recovering Using the Recovery USB
Disclaimer: This wiki is not official Dell documentation but is compiled by Philip Yip (Dell Community Rockstar natakuc4).
In order to do this the Recovery USB has to have been created see Creating a Recovery USB Using Dell DataSafe.
Power down your computer. Hold F12 while powering up your computer (at the Dell BIOs screen).
Select boot from CD/DVD or from USB respectively.
Press any key when prompted such as "h" when it says Press any Key to boot from CD/DVD.
You will get a black screen that says "Windows is Starting Files" then one that says "Windows is Loading Files." These should disappear pretty quickly. Next one that says Starting Windows
Select recover from your USB and follow the onscreen instructions to factory restore.
