Still screwing around with my new Dell Inspiron laptop. Apparently the PC restore functionality is crushed if/when you repartition, reinstall Windows, etc. where it wipes out the master boot record (MBR).

Inside the Dell PC Restore Partition

This guy has a site that has incredible details about the MBR that comes on the system from Dell, and how he hacked around to get it back. A bit too gnarly for me to try...so I guess I'll never have my factory installed OS again... :(
