You can contact Dell for the restore CD, you would have to purchase it from them,or if you know your way around PC, eg, reinstallation of windows etc, you can just obtain and XP- CD, not too sure if it's XP home or profesional you've got, look at the sticker at the side of your PC to verify, once you've done that, boot to the CD, follow the on screen instructions and u would be on your way to a newly installed windows.

Remember that your HDD would be wiped clean (ALL DATA WOULD BE LOST) also if u do not have the dell restore CD, you would have to download drivers from the dell site after the installation of the O/S, once again, you would need to have some sort of experience in this area.

Feel free to contact for any other info.

Hope this was helpful.
