XP

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. 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.

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 Drivers and Utilities CD

NOTE:

The Drivers and Utilities CD contains drivers that were installed during assembly of the computer.

Use the Drivers and Utilities CD or go to the Dell support site to load any required drivers.

NOTE:

The Operating System and Drivers and Utilities CDs are optional and may not ship with all

computers.
