I just purchased a Dell 8400 with Windows Media Center Edition 2005 installed. Dell sends these computers out with so much extra junk on them, so I would like to restore the OS before I put any programs or files on it. I'm looking at the instructions from Dell, since the conveniently sent me a paper showing me how to create my own backup disk instead of sending me one.
The path they tell me to go to is not there (Start->All Programs->Dell Accessories->Dell OS Recovery CD). Does anyone know where this shortcut leads to on the hard drive? The Dell "Tech Support" person had no idea. He is shipping out a cd to me, but who knows how long that will take to arrive.
Does this program simply take you to a website to download the OS or is the restore already on your computer?
