Hello,

I've been trying to restore an inspiron 17 that is running vista, the recovery partition is intact but when I hold F8 there is no repair option in the menu, Anyone know what I should do next?

As the computer restarts, press <F8> until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen. Press F8 repeatedly rather than holding the key down if you have problems.

NOTE: You must press the <F8> key before the Windows logo appears on the screen. If you press <F8> after the Windows logo appears on the screen, the Advanced Boot Options menu will not appear on the screen. If you do not see the Advanced Boot Options menu, restart the computer, and then repeat this step until you see the menu on the screen.

Press <Down Arrow> to select Repair Your Computer on the Advanced Boot Options menu, and then press <Enter>.
