Hello,

That model Dell does not have a restore partition on the hard drive. You will need to get a restore disk from Dell. The restore disk will format the hard drive and reinstall Windows XP on the system. After the restore disk is run them you will need to use the supplemental disk to load all of the drivers for sound, video and network. You can also download the drivers for the video, sound and network from the Dell website but you would have to use another PC to do it because without the network drivers the system will not have internet access. If you need to get a Dell restore CD we have the Windows XP Pro disks available at our web site at: http://www.ccl-la.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=27&products_id=52
