Hello,

I had Dell Factory Image Recovery files created on a USB drive, I needed that USB Stick urgently so I copied all the recovery files to my laptop HDD, then I formatted the USB to its default settings “from NTFS to FAT32″, now I need those recovery files to get back to the USB, so I can boot from it and have my laptop preloaded to its factory status but I don’t know how.

Would you please advise! Thanks.

*Dell DataSafe Local Backup is limiting the Recovery Disc creation to one time, so I can’t re-creat the Recovery USB from this software again, also tried to uninstall/install it but this doesn’t work.
*The Recovery Partition is corrupted so I can’t creat Windows 7 Image instead of Dell Recovery Disc.
*I tried creating Windows 7 Bootable USB and shifted the recovery files into it and the result was Boot MGR is Missing, I think I need to get the USB bootable / execute the same commands Dell does, which I don’t know.
*I tried the .exe files included in my Recovery Files, they doesn’t work.

Sounds like you corrupted the files when you copy pasted them into your laptop. There two ways to fix this. Take it in and have someone fix it for you or just buy windows 7 disk for $99.00 then you will not have to worry about it again. Your choice, its that easy. Hope this helps :-)

@The Clue,

Why to purchase Windows 7?, I still have the genuine code at the laptop back, I can download the setup, remove ei.cfg file from it, so I can choose the starter edition during the installation, 100% legal.

Thank you so much for responding!
