        my question is how do i get to the screen to choose what type of format i need to do, i only got f2 and f12 as options by the computer.
        hope u understand my question.
        i need to make the computer brand new type, i don't need to anything from that, no need of back up, \

        i just need everything in that to be erased and should do a cleaanup

        siby_1,

        Maybe there is a wrong  understanding.
        Formatting is the  same as restoration.

        Did you restore Windows 7 to your computer?
        Other than being slow, does nit work?

        siby_1: You need to boot the laptop into the pre-configured recovery partition. To do this: Restart the laptop and after the dell logo appears then disappears press the f8 key repeatedly until you see the "Advanced Boot Options" menu. Then highlight "Repair your computer" and press enter. Click next then it will prompt you to enter the administrator account/password (the first account created when the computer was turned on for the first time). After you enter these click "Dell Factory Image Recovery and DataSafe options", then simply follow the prompts that are provided.

          Here is what I would do: Go find a friend who has the same OS as you, and a disc for Windows 7 Home Premium. Then insert their disc into your computer, restart and boot to the disc. Then go through with the new install up until the point where it asks for your activation key. DON'T use the key on your friends' disc packaging, use the key on the Windows OEM sticker on the bottom of your laptop

          i want to make my computer just like got from factory

          The easy way to do that would be to use the restore partition.

            no, it only got the dell drivers in a disc,
             windows 7 home premium was already installed in it when i got the computer brand new

            my friend also has the dell, he also stated the same thing as you people do,
             but i didn't even get any ble screen which normally come when doing a formatting, which erases all in the c drive,
            this reinstalling windows didn't have any effect on computer. i wanted it to be in a brand new condition
