System Recovery Problem
I have a Dell desktop Inspiron 530S with Windows Vista.
The PC is still operating but the Windows has corrupt files.
I have backups made but no Recovery CD for the OS.
I'm trying to do a recovery of the operating system.
When I hit F8 and go to the repair screen, I do not get the option to recover.
The option below is missing.
The Recovery is on the HDD, shown as " (D:) Recovery.
Click the "Next" button, log in with your Administrator username and password and click the "Dell Factory Image Restore" option.

If the Recovery Partition is gone or corrupted you will have to do a manual reinstall. You can request a set of discs from Dell HERE if you are in the US.
