You can do a restore to the same drive. You cannot do a restore to a "new" drive.
Nor can you clone the existing drive and retain the Datasafe/Backup and restore F8 capability because the recovery partition is encrypted. There is no more plain Jane WIM file that you can force feed to do a recovery.
I know this from direct experience. Tried it.
The old dell data safe 2.0 Vista would restore to as many "new" drives as you wanted including the diag and recovery partition but the new stuff will not.
Please address me by Speedstep or not at all. I find your abbreviation unacceptable.
I've done it three times (I think), so I've no idea what you're doing wrong.
Obviously, what good is a recovery disc if you can't actually recover your data? For Dell to make a recovery system that only restores the OS to the OEM disc would be a complete waste.
My experience is different than yours. After swapping out the OEM provided HDD and replacing it with a retail Seagate 1TB HDD (albeit one with an integrated 8GB SSD cache) my attempts to perform a factory restore have repeatedly met with this error.
SpeedStep,
Thank you for your explanatory note, it makes complete sense to me based on my experience today.
Enjoying a healthy dose of paranoia the second thing I did after receiving my Inspiron 17R SE was to test whether the recovery media does indeed allow me to restore my machine to the initial ex-factory state following an anticipated future catastrophe. Yes, the first thing that I did was to create said recovery media using the provided Dell Backup and Recovery (DBR) software.
Dell Representative,
I cannot see the point in being able to create recovery media if the future catastrophe that I wish to recover from involves the failure of my OEM provided HDD ... necessitating my replacing that HDD with a retail drive. The DBR created recovery media as it stands today only serves to create a false sense of security.
I am now going to see if it is possible to use alternate backup and recovery software (e.g. Seagate DiscWizard which is based on Acronis software) to create an image of the OEM hard drive and restore that image to a retail hard drive.
I know this is an old thread but this is why the information is so valuable. Error 0x4001100200001005 if problems persists contact Dell support. Some are right but some are WRONG! I created back up media, used a 1 Tb WD, all seemed to go ok. I sfc /scan now, registry errors. Ok, deal with it later. 2 months later the new HD failed.... RA'd the HD, used the same recovery media I created, 0x4001100200001005. It errored out twice. 8 hours per crack. How could I get the other HD restored to factory but not the new one??? Original HD still works, created new recovery media, boom, it ran the recovery media, again with registry errors. See a pattern? Used tweaking.com's program, unable to fix all errors. Dell will sell you a new HD with your same operating system for around $250. Why do I need a need a new windows license? What's wrong with my old one??? Interesting concept... If you created recovery media and it flew for you, great. Did you do an sfc /scannow? How long did it last? I have more time invested in this computer than it's worth. I already lost 16 hours last round, not to count the over 60 some hours trying a check disk repair to try and get a system image just to fail, failed a clone.... See a pattern? I'm going to ball park 80 hours in a $1600 tower 4 years ago. I'm out $4000 because Dell recovery media is deigned not to work on a new retail HD. See a pattern? I guess going forward on my end I need to turn down working on Dells. As a consumer what does this tell you? See a pattern?
Estimados, googleando y googleando (buscando en Google) el error, encontré en HP el mismo error, y alguien dijo que se tenia que volver la BIOS al estado original, me pareció bastante acertado, ya que había modificado esa parte, convencido de que estaban en lo ciertro entre a la BIOS y en las pestañas que había hecho los cambios las restablecí presionando F9, seguido de esto F10 (GUARDAR) y reiniciar con el DVD1 de la restauración.
Por lo menos ya va en un 97%, lo que me preocupa es que lleva como 10 minutos ahí... si resulta completamente ok, les comentare.

Speedy,
Are you saying that you cannot restore the Dell OS to a retail drive? Because I know that is not the case.

I got the same error when restoring an Inspiron 2330 Touch using the DVDs I created when the system was new.
In my case I had to boot to a Windows OS DVD, go into recovery console and open DISKPART
Perform the following steps to wipe the disk:
In recovery console, type DISKPART
At the diskpart prompt, type LIST DISK
Note the number of the disk you want to restore the OS to
Type SELECT DISK 0 (0 or whatever the number of the disk is)
It will say "Disk 0 is the selected disk"
Type CLEAN
When it finishes, exit, and retry the restoration.

Hello,
i had the same problem agian and agian. incl damaged boot-files etc....
Until: I found out that I was using the wrong repair dvd's from an other DELL-Computer. Placed the wright ones and everyting worked.
Please check the version off recovery DVD witch you are using. In my case that was the problem.
