Default Vista Restore

Hi,

I have the Vista Business operating system on my Dell Latitude D830 and am
looking to restore my machine back to its factory image, I was under the
impression that if you pressed F8 and selected the top option and select your
language and then you could select from a selection of restore options. I
can get as far as entering the language but just get an option to restore to
a previous point in time which is not what I am looking for as I have done
similar on other machines. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong, I have
also checked and I do have the partition drive so it should be possible.

Thanks Phil
