Using Dell PC Restore by Symantec
 
NOTICE: 
Using Dell PC Restore permanently deletes all data on the hard drive and removes any applications or 
drivers installed after you received your computer. If possible, back up the data before using PC Restore. Use PC 
Restore only if System Restore did not resolve your operating system problem.
 
NOTE: 
Dell PC Restore by Symantec is not available in all countries or on all computers.
Use Dell PC Restore by Symantec only as the last method to restore your operating system. 
PC Restore restores your hard drive to the operating state it was in when you purchased the computer. 
Any programs or files added since you received your computer—including data files—are permanently 
deleted from the hard drive. Data files include documents, spreadsheets, e-mail messages, digital photos, 
music files, and so on. If possible, back up all data before using PC Restore.
