But first, what is the make and model of this PC? What OS did it come with? For all you know, purchasing an XP installation CD would be unnecessary (that is, you might have a hidden recovery partition on your hard drive that will accomplish the same thing). |

If a Dell has a hidden recovery partition, it can normally be accessed by pressing Ctrl+F11 immediately after turning on the PC. I went to the Dell site, and I see no evidence of that model number. Was that a typo? Your best bet is to go he http://support.dell.com/support/index.aspx?~ck=pn Click on Drivers & Downloads. Then enter your Service Tag number. After you select your model and number, you can click on the link for Manuals on the left-hand side. Eventually, you will find reinstallation instructions. The Control+F11 option may or may not be there for you. If not, that means Dell shipped you your PC with the Reinstallation CD (or a Recovery CD). Look harder for it! Or if you know anybody with a Dell XP Reinstallation CD, that's good because that disk will work on your PC, too. There is no need to purchase XP again (at least for this particular Dell); you already have a license to run it. |

Advice on restoring from Dell site: http://snurl.com/h07fp [support_dell_com] This next link described as for a Dell Inspiron 2650, was offered in response to a search for Dell Dimension 2650 + Manual http://snurl.com/h086s [support_dell_com] It clearly infers that for your model a disk was provided and not a backup copy on a hidden partition. -- Hope this helps.
