Restore my dell laptop to factory settings

[Dquinn8]

For my dell 1564...i I am looking to restore it. I read previous posts. I get to "system recovery options" and tried the first 3 options for restore/ repair, but nothing..its all restore to previous point, which apparently I dont have even though I made them, and dell cds dont seem to want to load up, in safe mode, reg, hitting f12, f2, f8, ctrl f11 and so on...pls help?!?!

Look on page 267 of the manual ( ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_laptop/esuprt_inspiron_laptop/inspiron-1564_Reference%20Guide_en-us.pdf ). Easy to find under "Restoring Your Operating System (Using Dell PC Restore...)"
