How to format a Dell laptop with Windows 7

This article provides the information you need to confirm you need to recover your system and how to format a dell laptop with windows 7.

Introduction

Uninstalling the installation disc will not work on a Windows 7 laptop that does not have a recovery partition. Most major computer companies, such as HP and Dell, sell recovery partitions as an alternative to the installation media for laptops and tablets. If you're not sure if your Windows 7 laptop has a recovery partition, you may wish to consult the user manual for your particular model or your Windows programs for a Recovery Manager application provided by the manufacturer. Manufacturer-specific instructions for initiating a factory reset without a disc vary.

You need to recover your Dell PC to the Factory Image

Recovering a factory image is where you access a partition on your hard drive that restores your PC to the way it originally shipped from the Dell Factory.

Note: Please be aware this option is only used as a last resort, as it will wipe your entire HDD (Hard Disk Drive) of all your programs, settings, and information. Please remember that once your system has crashed, it is too late to attempt a backup. Backups should be done on a regular schedule while your PC is in working condition.
