help restoring a dell inspiron 1545 to factory settings without the installation disks

[rivjon]

I have a Dell inspiron 1545. I do not have the reinstallation disks. I know that once before I had the disks and did a restore but no longer have the disks. When I try to do a repair there is no option for restoring factory resets. Can anyone guide me here?

When the computer starts hit F8 and select advanced options. Don't remember the rest but it's pretty straight forward from there.
