    Have you read through the support information _Dell provides for that system on the _Dell support website, specifically, the Technology Guide, User Manual, or Setup Guide for the Inspiron_1525/1526?

    Here's what the Technology Guide has to say about using the recovery partition (on pages 267-68 of the Technology Guide):
    So, if you use the recovery partition, it would appear to be the case that you get back to a factory image. Anything else I can look up for you in the Technology Guide, User Manual, or Setup Guide for the Inspiron_1525/1526?
