Tech Clinic / Dell Laptop Restore Settings Question!!

[quote name=\'guestolo\' post=\'364534\' date=\'Jul 27 2007, 06:31 PM\']Did you not get a Restore CD from Dell?

Do you have a Recovery partition on your laptop?
Is there a reason you need to wipe the drive and start fresh?
Maybe we can help without the need to clean install[/quote]


I don't think there is a recovery partition.  I had one one my Compaq, so all I had to do there was a destructive recovery.

I don't know the first place to start looking for a restore CD.. I moved a million times since I first got it.  How can I get another one?

I am giving it away to my family and need to wipe it clean so they won't get nosey in my stuff http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />  LOL

Tech Clinic / Dell Laptop Restore Settings Question!!

« on: July 25, 2007, 04:44:25 PM »

Hello All,

I want to wipe my hard drive on my dell latitude D620 and restore it back to factory settings, but the utility that creates the system disk keeps saying that you need a floppy drive to create the disk.

I don't have a floppy drive, just a CD/DVD combo.  Can someone please tell me what I need to do in order to restore my laptop back to factory settings?

Thanks..

Tiffany
