Restore Inspiron N5010 to factory condition after installing windows 7

I reinstalled Windows 7 from the disk provided with my laptop My laptop still wasn't quite right, so I wanted to recover back to the factory image, but whenever I went to the Advanced Boot Menu , the 'Repair your Computer' option is no longer available. now recover factory image was not available. Any ideas on how to get the 'Repair your Computer' option back, i want to restore my laptop into the factory installed condition.

I was unable to restore the system through Dell data safe local back up.

This was deleted during OS reinstallation.

I download  a new one from http://dslbdownload.datasafelocalbackup.com/dsldownload-en.html

Is it possible to get all the factory settings..

Please help me

Once you manually install, the automatic restore is gone.  You must proceed with the manual install.

Here is the problem ,

I tried in this way...

Dell datasafe local back up -> Restore->Restore your system to a previous date-"Your computer will be restored to the state it was on 10/21/2010 4:10 PM (Factory image).This process might take more than an hour depending on the size of full system backup. Click restart to restart your computer and automatically enter the recovery environment "->Restart

Launch startup repair->Searching for problems->select keyboard->username &password->Recovery options->Launch startup repair/Shutdown/Restart

But Same steps repeating.

This is happening now.

and this is the same problem encountered before reinstalling Windows 7.i just repair the windows 7, not a complete reinstall.

What i have to do.Is there any hope while using command promt..Anyway i want to restore.

1 more problem is ...when i starting the desktop sometimes appears in a blue/black screen.What s this?.(not now, before reinstalling Windows 7)

Is it possible to get factory settings while returning this laptop to Dell.How many days will take if i do  so and what are the procedures?

Hope that u can help me.
