    Hi Everyone,

    I'm a technical person but I can't figure out how to add the "repair my computer" options in the Adv. Boot Options menu (F8) when I start the computer. The RECOVERY (10 Go) partition is there with everything on it.

    By the way, this is an Inspiron 1525 with Vista Home Prem. preinstalled.

    I can access the PCRestore.exe utility through the Windows RE of the Vista DVD but I want to give a functionnal system to my client.

    I've called DELL, useless, they want me to format the entire drive...

    I do WinRE on disks all the time but I don't know what's specific with DELL so I didn't figure out yet how to get it back on the F8 Menu.

    Thanks in advance,

    Philippe...
