    Default Reseting M1530 to factory setttings

    How would I go about doing this? Do I just change the Drive number of the recovery partition to C and the other one do E or something else? I want to restore it to factory settings and destroy all other data.

    Cheers

    You have to restore the .wim image.

    Way down near the bottom of the page is a section on
    "Restoring the Computer to the Default Factory Configuration"

    1. Restart the computer. To do this, click Start ® ® Restart.

    2. As the computer restarts, press until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.

    NOTE: You must press the key before the Windows logo appears on the screen. If you press after the Windows logo appears on the screen, the Advanced Boot Options menu will not appear on the screen. If you do not see the Advanced Boot Options menu, restart the computer, and then repeat this step until you see the menu on the screen.

    3. Press to select Repair Your Computer on the Advanced Boot Options menu, and then press .

    4. Specify the language settings that you want, and then click Next.

    5. Log in as a user who has administrative credentials, and then click OK.

    6. Click Dell Factory Image Restore.

    7. In the Dell Factory Image Restore window, click Next.

    8. Select the Yes, reformat hard drive and restore system software to factory condition checkbox.

    9. Click Next. The computer is restored to the default factory configuration.

    10. When the restore operation is completed, click Finish to restart the computer.

    I'm stuck at step 3. There is no "Repair Your Computer" option in the Advanced Boot Options menu.
