I have the above laptop, which my daughter used for school.
Part of the school policy was to have a dual boot system to keep the school profile and home profiles separate.
Now this is no longer required, I want to restore the laptop to its factory settings.
I have tried pressing F8 during the boot process, but Advanced Options does not give me the choice of repairing the computer
I tried to launch datasafe to recreate the boot media, but when presented with the option to create discs or usb, the radio button does not work.
I then downloaded the latest version of datasafe, (having uninstalled the original version as requested), but it will not install, i get the error Factorysetup error 5
I have standard windows install discs for windows 7, so i can do a fresh install if absolutely necessary, but i would prefer to retain the dell boot sector if I can.
Can someone help me out with this please?
