Hello,

I am trying to factory restore my Optiplex 755 that is running Vista business. I am told that if I restart the computer and press F8 that I will get an Advanced Boot Options menu and then I can select repair computer. I do get the Advanced Boot Options menu but not the repair computer option. Is there a way for me to factory restore this computer? I don't have recovery disc either.

Thanks,

Ac3

"Using PC Restore:
1. Turn on the computer.
During the boot process, a blue bar with www.dell.com appears at the top of the screen.
2. Immediately upon seeing the blue bar, press <Ctrl><F11>.
If you do not press <Ctrl><F11> in time, let the computer finish starting, and then restart the computer again.
3. Click Restore and click Confirm.
The restore process takes approximately 6 to 10 minutes to complete.
4. When prompted, click Finish to reboot the computer"

WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!this will delete all files on the drive including personal files according to the manual and restore it to new state
