How to restore automatic system recovery functionality on Dimension 9150?

Question

Hi there.   At the time, when I bought my Dell Computer (Dimension 9150) there was this automatic restore function on it. I don't know exactly what the correct term is, but it was the function where you could press some F - key when the Dell Logo and BIOS comes up, and then it would start restoring the entire harddisk with the default XP installation, without the use of a system recovery cd.   Now I managed to remove that :smileysad: , and I would like to have this function back again, so that I don't need to find the cd everytime I try a re-install.   Is this possible to do yourself, and if it is, can someone please tell me how to do it?   Thanks in advance,   /Bahr Message Edited by bahrdk on 02-23-2007 09:42 AM Message Edited by bahrdk on 02-23-2007 09:43 AM

if you deleted that partition that hols the restore then it's gone. if you reinstalled windows xp and did not remove it you can go here.   http://www.goodells.net/dellutil/

You can also use imaging software such as Ghost or TrueImage to capture, save and restore your own images of the C: partition. The Dell PC Restore feature is a rather limited example of this type of software.
