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 Using Microsoft Windows XP System Restore.
To reinstall Windows XP, you need the following items:
l Dell™Operating System CD
l Dell Drivers and Utilities CD
Reinstalling Windows XP

on your hard drive. Therefore, do not reinstall Windows XP unless a Dell technical support representative instructs you to do so.
