DELL 1110 User Manual

Use Dell Factory Image Restore only as the 

last method to restore your operating system. 

This option 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 Dell Factory Image Restore.

Turn on the computer. When the Dell logo 

appears, press <F8> several times to access 

the Advanced Boot Options window.

NOTE: If you wait too long and the 

operating system logo appears, continue to 

wait until you see the Microsoft

 Windows

desktop; then, shut down your computer 

and try again.

Select 

Repair Your Computer.

The 

System Recovery Options window 

appears.
Select a keyboard layout and click 

Next.

To access the recovery options, log on as 

a local user. To access the command prompt,
