I have a dell latitude d600 laptop. For many months I have been trying to find step by step instructions to wipe out everything to the point of no return and just keep the factory settings. I have been having no luck with this at all. Can anyone help me PLEASE!!!!! I was not given any discs.

Hello,

If you received no disc with the system then it is possible that the system shipped with

a recovery partition installed. This will restore the system back to factory settings.

At the Dell logo press CTRL+F11 and it will start the process.
