To reinstall Windows, you need the following items:
•

media
NOTE:
The
Dell
Drivers and Utilities

contains drivers that were installed
during the assembly of the computer. Use the

load any required drivers. Depending on the region from which you ordered your
computer, or whether you requested the media, the
Dell
Drivers and Utilities

and
Operating System

Reinstalling Windows XP or Windows Vista
The reinstallation process can take 1 to 2 hours to complete. After you
reinstall the operating system, you must also reinstall the device drivers, virus
protection program, and other software.
NOTICE:

media provides options for reinstalling Windows
XP. The options can overwrite files and possibly affect programs that are installed
on your hard drive. Therefore, do not reinstall Windows XP unless a Dell technical
support representative instructs you to do so.
