Precision T3500 System Restore
Weive recently had a Precision T3500 delivered and had a play around with it, but, before we get serious with it, I'd like to do a system (factory) restore. I can see the recovery partition in the Disk Management app within Admin Tools so I know it's there, but nothing I do seems to get me to a screen that lets me do the Dell System Restore.
Going into the advanced boot options finally gets me to the System Recovery Options Screen, but there isn't a Factory Restore option on there, similarly, Dell Backup Management isn't installed within Windows (apparently that I can see, shortcut or using 'search'), so I'm a little confused on how best to achieve a 'Factory Fresh' restore...

Why would you do that on a computer that already is factory fresh? Windows 7 does not require reinstall to remove anything you don't want. Just use Add-Remove programs in Control Panel to remove anything. Factory Reinstall is an exact copy of what you have now. Make sure you make all the Recovery Disks before making any changes to a new computer.
