How to Restore Utility Partition of DELL desktop

[eruptionjoojo]

Hello everyone,



I have a DELL inspiron 530 desktop with Windows Vista Home premium(32 bit version)................



I had re-installed the Windows Vista Operating system Using the Windows Vista DVD provided via DELL from microsoft instead of using the DELL factory image restore feature ............ after somedays i used the DELL factory image restore feature to restore my desktop to the factory image ................... the process got completed successfully .....................



after sometime for the troubleshooting purpose i wanted to run the DELL diagnostics Utility feature using the Utility partition provide on the HDD ...................

So i rebooted my system and while the BIOS was loading i pressed F12 to get into the Boot Menu options list .............. which lists all the booting options including Utility partition .................... then i selected the Utility partition from the list and pressed enter ........ then a message was displayed :--

"Booting from the Utility Partition .............."

but after that nothing happened and i had to restart my desktop ............... and i then repeated the same procedure but again nothing happened except for the message getting displayed .......................



so is there a way i can recover or restore my utility partition of my inspiron desktop ..........

thnxx in advance ...............

The Dell restore programs do NOT restore any changes made after you first received the computer, including:

• Any programs you installed
• Any Windows or other software updates you installed
• Your user data (such as files, folders, e-mails, and photos)
• Drivers for hardware added after you first received your system from Dell
• E-mail and Internet settings (including favorites and bookmarks)
