I don't know what the other site said but I just did mine. One thing you will want to do, probably, is run FDisk or a partition utility and repartition the hard drive so Dell's partition for restore is usable for data.

I agree, your most def. better off Running FDISK or some Partition Utility. I work with dell computers everyday. Ive formatted some 200 dell PCS. Your best bet is to delete all partitions then clear the MBR. I found out that after deleting partitions it is not necessary to create a partition at all. But if you feel the need just partition enough that you think you will need.
