I am trying to restore a Dell Inspiron, running Windows 7, to factory settings. Following on line instructions, after I get to the screen showing REPAIR MY COMPUTER and press enter, the next screen has a graph showing files being loaded and then the computer reboots back to Windows. Help

This sounds like a hardware problem. Perhaps you need to replace the hard disk. You can order a new disk from Dell that contains the recovery partition.

Good luck
