    press Ctrl + F11 when ur computer boots up @ the Dell screen i think. As long as you have that ~10gb RECOVERY partition of ur HDD. If that doesn't work you can boot to safe mode w/ command prompt and type in :
    path d:\windows;d:\windows\system32
    d:
    cdtools
    pcrestore

    each line indicated you press the enter key.
