Ok so i bought a dell inspiron e1505 off somebody and it had windows 7 on it. It runs a little bit slow and i was wondering how i change it back to orginal factory settings?How to take windows 7 off of dell inspiron e1505?There is a 99% chance the moron who illegally installed win7 blew out your recovery partition. This means you will have to run a LEGAL XP disk (dell will send you one free, but you must pay postage) OR you can PAY for a new LEGAL win7 install. The 1505 never came with vista. When you ask dell for the OS dvd, ask for your cd burning software and your dvd decoding software (again, it's free) The drivers disk is no longer available, but you can download them free from the net
You will now have to load the drivers by hand including all the interim reboots
do in this order
notebook system software
reboot
intel chipset
reboot
video
reboot
audio, touchpad, NIC, wifi card
reboot
you do NOT need to install modem, hd or optical drive software
reboot
cd burning software
reboot
dvd burning software
reboot
BIOS FLASH to current revision
next time, do NOT listen to people who THINK they know what they are doing, but really don't
sorry, you're in for ALOT of frustrationHow to take windows 7 off of dell inspiron e1505?If you have another copy of windows, reformat the hard drive by booting from a windows disk and follow the instructions that follow. You will also need to install software for the computer after it has reformatted. This is the only way to get to original settings.
