Well, if you are not even seeing the partition, then F11 will not work - even if you could "fix" F11, there would still not be a recovery partition to use. If you don't have some unknown partition on your disk, then you cannot use the factory restore and there is no way to restore that partition.
If you already used the CD/DVD to restore, then the Recovery Partition is no longer usable - if it even survived. From here on out, your only recovery choice is to use the CD/DVD. No Windows software or factory image is downloadable from Dell.

Ahm I see... :(
I have an image of Recovery partition made with Acronis True Image, but hotkey bind at boot doesn´t works.
There are any possibility to restore from command line (I did it more times) and reactivate the hotkey on boot?
Thanks!

I don't know to what "hot-key" you are referring.
