Hello

I suggest you do the following to reformat a Dell computer with windows XP

a. disconnect all external devices such printer, digital camera, player MP3 music or any other device connected to your computer.
b. place your CD recovery Dell Windows XP (usually purple or blue) in the hard drives. (CD player or DVD is running the software).
c. restart your computer into the Windows XP Setup screen. Press the F12 key immediately when the computer starts up.
d. Select option 4 when the menu appears.

NOTE: Press the SPACEBAR immediately or Windows start and you need to repeat these first three steps.

e. find the blue screen that takes care of the INSTALLATION. In this screen, press the F8 key and don't try the repair option. We go for a clean install. Then, press the ESC key in the corner.

f. partition __ (usually more large one), (d) to remove (not the FAT32 than NTFS choice with the highest volume on this subject). Press ENTER to execute your choice.
g. press L to complete and C to create.
h.Select "new raw format" (quick format) will work fine. Unless you have a lot of time on your hands.
i. go to the indicated such Windows configuration screen. Remember, you want to only 1 partition.
j. access Windows screen where it says "Setup is copying the files" on your computer. It will take about an hour to get through this Windows Setup on your Dell computer (or less).
k. let the computer automatically restarts. It will ask you before the reboot.
l. take note of the screen, "Preparing installation". Once Windows is ready to be put in place, follow the guests to the screen Configuration for the Internet zone, and other customizations. You shouldn't have to register with Microsoft, since you already have.
Mr., you must also reinstall the device drivers using the internet CD Dell support to address blue if they are not properly installed such as network cards, wireless, USB driver, sound card and more. Always test your computer to ensure that they work properly.
