Using the Operating System CD
Before You Begin
If you are considering reinstalling the Windows XP operating system to correct a problem with a newly
installed driver, first try using Windows XP Device Driver Rollback. See
Using Windows XP Device Driver
Rollback
If Device Driver Rollback does not resolve the problem, then use
System Restore
to return your
operating system to the operating state it was in before you installed the new device driver. See
Restoring
Your Operating System
NOTICE: Before performing the installation, back up all data files on your primary hard drive. For conventional
hard drive configurations, the primary hard drive is the first drive detected by the computer.
To reinstall Windows XP, you need the following items:
•Dell™
Operating System
CD
•Dell ResourceCD
NOTE: The ResourceCD contains drivers that were installed during assembly of the computer. Use the
ResourceCD to load any required drivers. Depending on the region from where you ordered your computer, or
whether you requested the CDs, the Drivers and Utilities CD and Operating System CD may not ship with your
system.
Reinstalling Windows XP
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: The Operating System CD provides options for reinstalling Windows XP. The options can overwrite files
and possibly affect programs installed on your hard drive. Therefore, do not reinstall Windows XP unless a Dell
technical support representative instructs you to do so.
