USB recovery fails.
After following the directions supplied with the USB key i.e. (Boot PC hit F12 select Boot from USB) the boot process begins but I get the following message "Protection Error... Unable to continue the booting process. Some informations are corrupted or missing!!"
Information given to Dell when ordering part.

Dell, I do not like that restore disks do not come with the PC anymore. It was bad enough that PC manufacturer were putting the restore info on an OEM partition on the hard drive. Works fine if the problem is not a HDD failure. I also do not like the idea that you can no longer order the restore DVD or CD.
