I can't say for sure about the 1000. I got an Inspiron 600m in February and ran across the restore instructions in the user's manual. You press CTRL+F11 at boot to initiate it, and it restores from a hidden partition on the hard drive.
I went to my laptop and did a screen capture with the full instructions (attached). You might want to double check Dell's site to see if the same procedure applies to the 1000. Good luck! |

| It worked perfectly.
I thought that the key was f10 or f11, but I would have never guessed that you would have had to press the ctrl key also to activate it.
thanks again -- You can't live for today when you've got to study for Tomorrow. |
