The Dell OptiPlex 170 L User Guide includes a section on re - install XP from page 8.

The link above has a tab where you can download the drivers if you can't find the driver CD (or you want to load the latest drivers). Reference Dell have an agenda that is recommended for the installation of the driver...

Print what you want from this Web site that you can access on the PC hit after the new installation. After the installation you're using IE6 that this site does not work with!

Get these downloads and have them on a CD or a USB key (ignore warnings from Microsoft gives you need to be an IT pro or using Windows updates in place)

SP2 (only if your CD is pre - SP2)

SP3 (only if your CD is pre - SP3)

IE8 (do not leave Microsoft direct you to a later version, IE8 is as good as it gets for XP)

Make sure you have your favorite antivirus practical too (CD/download) solution.

Disconnect from the internet (remove the cable Ethernet or a wireless device?)

Disconnect all devices except the screen, keyboard and mouse.

Do the clean install

Install the drivers

Install the SP2 and SP3 if necessary

Install IE8

Install antivirus/security

To connect to the internet

Update antivirus/security

Windows Update

Install remaining desired hardware/software

Do not use Windows Update until SP3 is installed.

Do not install IE8 until you are at SP3.
