You should have made the recovery media with Dell Backup and Recovery before attempting a dual boot. Even if it was successful it would have hindered your ability to restore to the factory image. You cannot reinstall Windows 7 because Microsoft have removed all the Digital River downloads replacing them with a non-functional tool which blocks Dell OEM licenses and you failed to create recovery media, Your only choice is to call Dell Technical Support or install Windows 8.1 properly.
Dell Inspiration 3847 First of all, I created a new partition and thought that when I in stalled the Windows 8.1 from the disk that came with new computer, it would be a side-by-side, dual installation along side of the factory, preinstalled, Windows 7 Pro. WRONG!!! What did happen is that it over wrote Win. 7 Pro. and deleted all it's files and preloaded apps.I've emailed Dell to see if I can get back to the factory setup state condition with the Win 7 Pro. and all the pre installed apps. but have not recieved a reply yet.I,ve tried the restore to factory condition but all it does is instruct me to reinstall Win. 8.1 from the disk.HELP NEEDED!!!! Thanks from Randy
Windows 8.1 wiped out all of win, 7 Pro. UNDO help need!!
