I'm desperate to get my dell inspiron back to what it was like when I first got it. I have no system image or restore point and I only have the dell drivers and utilities disc. would be so grateful if anyone knew how to get an image from somewhere or knew if I could download anything to launch on turning on my laptop to reset it?

Thanks, jack
