yeah, that is the one gotcha for dual-booting, Dell's for sure. You lose
the restore option, even if you left the restore partition on the HD..
I have not figured out how to make an ISO to restore the HD to original
windows, after doing the dual boot, but thankfully I have never had to
do that. maybe the thing to do would be to put a second disk in, clone
it, then make it dual-boot.. ah next time:) windows 10:)
