Dell has restore cd that can reinstall the operating system. You can buy them on ebay or amazon?

Well I have 2 options for you:
Option 1: If u have ur windows disk then just boot ur computer, and then put in the discs to reinstall widows and it should be restored to factory setting
Option 2:Press and Hold "ctrl-F11" and it should be restoed to factory settings
,let me know if this works, hope it does
: )

When the computer is turning on, if it is windows 7 press f8 and select Repair. You will see the factory reset. Otherwise press f11 (or ctrl + f11), it will take a couple of tries.

Do you get a prompt to press CTRL F11 at startup?
What prompts do you get? You should be prompted to enter setup or hit F12 (I think) for boot options. If you are not prompted to enter system recovery, then you might be out of luck.
If the computer was refurbished, it is possible that the previous owner reformatted the drive and wiped out the recovery partition.

The question I would ask is why are you trying to do a system recovery?
Can't you just uninstall the stuff you don't want?

Press Ctrl + F11 While booting
The moment you see the dell logo Press the Ctrl key and start tapping the F11. If it has the restore image it will take you to the restore page. If there is not restore image it won't work

Try this...right before it boots up hit Ctrl key-F11 key. This works for my dell PC. Restores setting to factory default. It may work for you since it's same vendor.

When the computer is just starting up, press the 'delete' button. That will take you to 'setup'. Go thru that to find your 'reset to default', it may be in more place than one. It would be really good if you could get the install disks for your computer, then you could do a re-install of Windows. That will get rid of everything but Windows, so if you want anything else, you will need that disk too.
