Alienware Factory Reset Without Disks

Instead of a recovery disc set, Dell computers are shipped with a built-in hidden recovery partition. This recovery partition houses the information required to restore your computer's factory settings in the event of a problem with your machine or create a recovery disc set. Depending on your computer model and the year it was purchased, one of two programs will be installed on your computer that lets you access perform these functions: DataSafe Local Backup 2.0 or PC Restore. Alternatively, you can use the native Disk Management program to make sure the hidden partition is still there and hasn't been erased.
