I finally got around to looking for this utility. I have no utilities folder under the c:\Dell\ folder. Also, a search for DSRIRRemv2.exe in non-indexed and hidden folders does not find it. Any other ideas? Thanks, Dave

Hello Robin: Thanks for the reply; that is good information. I plan to use Norton Ghost to back up a current image of the drive. If I place data on a separate partition, it is then easy to back this up much more frequently than is necessary for the OS/drivers/programs which will still be on C:\.

Hm! Seems like if one has a data backup solution, that might be also OK for the OS and programs backup and restore too. I like Norton Ghost for both. It has saved my skin quite a few times. So, if I want to deviate from my factory condition much I might be better off just dumping the rhe restore functionality and going with ghost... Thanks for the reply. Dave
