Dell factory reset

[felicity_fizzy]

How to factory reset a Dell Dimension 2400 that came with Windows XP on it? It has the partition, no disk.

I've never had to do a reset using a computer with a partition, always had computers that came with system restore disks. This computer is how it was when previous owner bought it (original Windows never upgraded to another version).

I want to factory reset it to get rid of all the previous owner's stuff, make it as if it were new.

Use the restore Partion? Should be some software installed that allows that I think, if not, buy the WIndows XP restore disks off ebay.

They can give specific instructions for that system. having the Serviced Tag # is usually a good idea there.
