It all depends on how you reinstall the OS,
did you deleted all the partitions?
Normally for Dell computers there are three partitions,
a. media direct
b. recovery drive
c. your C drive.
If you have deleted the drive D: , say goodbye to the recovery drive.
The only way for you to have "the Dell Recovery option" again is to ask for a
pre-loaded harddrive(image harddrive) from Dell,
which they wont replace just for the sake of "the Dell Recovery option"

Hi once more:
I have checked out the partitions on my disc.
They are 3, one is the C:\ but 2 of them don't have a name...
One is 47 MB and the other one is 3 GB (Primary partion?)...
Is one of them the Recovery partition?Waiting for help.
Thank you very much for your patience.Bye.

I don't remember doing it, but maybe I did! :SHow can I come to know?
Does it say partition 2 recovery? something like that?
Normally the recovery partition default is the drive d.
i doesn't say nothing...Just a blank space where the name is supposed to be.
I don't remember formatting the D: drive...
Maybe it is the one which is of 3 GB...You think so?
