Dell restore by Symantec???
I have an answer?
I just bought an Inspiron 9200 but I need to restore it to the original configuration (Adware and Spyware came to visit me...).
With the Dell System restore I will return to the configuration of the first day? Also softwares included will be there (I mean, Dell Media Experience... Del NEtwork ... All was installed and ordered)? Otherwise, where I can find the original software about Dell Porgrams, Utility, etc.
Thanks

- You should also have any resources necessary to reinstall following a hard drive replacement or other situation that may leave the Dell Restore process unavailable. CDs for the operating system and any applications included with your purchase should be included with your system. Dell drivers and utilities are available in the Downloads section of the Product Support area, accessable through the tab at the top-left of these pages. Also of interest are the User Guides, Reinstall Guides, and System Configuration utility in the Product Support area.

I wish I would known this before I freaked out and used the Dell Restore Disk. I'm over here having a heck of a time locating the proper drivers. Going to try this after updates.I tried using the Symantec Restore on my 1150 but it isn't there anymore. The blue bar. Could it be possible when I reformatted my hd with win xp cd that shipped with my dell it wiped out that option forever on my laptop? Is there a way to restore this option again?Message Edited by reyestduran on 02-19-2005 08:37 PM

Yep. All you have to do is, whenever you're starting up, you should see a blue bar across the top of the screen that says "dell.com" in the middle. Its fast but when you see it, press Ctrl+F11 and it'll load the utility. Just choose restore.
PC Restore will format your hard drive, reinstall windows, reinstall all the drivers, and reinstall all the applications. It will be just like you turned on the system for the first time. The best part is, a normal reinstall usually takes about an hour, this utility takes about 10 minutes.
