For some computers, the recovery files are in the harddisk itself. I knew because last time i had a mini laptop which didnt comes with a recovery disc, but had this function. To use this function, you have to choose to boot to this function (couldnt remember how, the mini laptop i have given away so cant test for you). Pay attention when the computer starts to boot up from bios.
This function is something like restore to default factory settings, which practically means recovery everything. If it does not have this function as well, call DELL and screw them.
If the keyboard seems to malfunction, try changing to keyboard using a ps/2 port.
