Reformat Hard Drive - How Can I Do it?

[Dave G.]

I had a virus, managed to get off all my valuable files,
and now I need to reformat. How can I do this? I have my
original Dell OEM Windows XP CD available. Thanks.

Hi Dave,

You should check your system documentation for the proper procedure for your
Dell-supplied disk, it may vary greatly from the procedure used with a
retail version. Make sure you have your Product Key before you proceed. If
you do not understand the directions, then you should contact Dell support
before proceeding.
