System Repair Option

[Noel S Pamfree]

Following advice from the group I tried to do the following:

Boot from your Windows Vista DVD,
select the System Repair Option
on the setup screen, select 'Repair Computer
Select your installation of Windows
select Startup
Repair option and follow instructions

Here is my problem. The Vista disk I have came with my desktop from Dell.
When I insert it the only options I get are to install or update Vista.

I have tried to solve this my self and I found an idea on the web to push F8
key during start up and I would get an
additional option in Vista to 'Repair Your Computer' but I only get the
standard menu of Safe mode options nothing about repairing.

Thanks,

Noel

Check with Dell support for the procedure to get to the "Repair you
computer" option.
