“ballzdeep” can you clarify please? The XPS uses a different boot recovery method compared to most other Dell laptops, which wasn’t immediately obvious (to me anyway).

the above artical makes no sense what so ever ..all it does is tell you about what is preinstalled with dell computers. No solution here

I LOVE YOU, MAN !
As a very advanced power user with a lot of experience I have seen a lot of things.
- enabeling system restore in BIOS
-pressing various combinations of keys
-booting from floppy back in the days…
…but I would never think of going to boot menu just like that.
I was googling for almost an hour now to find this MF.
Thanks for the great post.

it doesn-t work… When I start in that mode, I go to d: tools / PCrestore.exe
starts the program, but the same message…
Its not logical to format C: when you-re into windows.

HOW CAN I BOOT THE PC WITH PC RESTORE ???????????????????

I DONT HAVE THE DISC.

Thank you so much! Tried some Google searching and everything else comes up with Ctrl + F11. Would have never thought to look in the F8 menu?

Thanks!
