  Hello

  Do a clean install of XP with the XP disk provided by Dell, if you.

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/OperatingSystems/SS/instxpclean1.htm

  If you do not have your XP disk, you can contact Dell and ask them to send you a XP disc.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the order of startup and startup disk:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  Vista installation was able to destroy this option of relocation:

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall XP back on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  A Dell must rely on Ctrl + F11 at STARTUP to reinstall XP
