Right, you'll need to boot off the windows xp cd, and then it'll run the setup, basically you want to do a fresh install of xp, and after that it will give you the options of formatting it

Thanx Dan,
I Now have my PC back up to speed. Just one other thing you maybe able to help me with? Since reinstalling XP, I can no longer get any sound from my speakers. It's a dell pC with inbuilt sound. Harmann Kardon Speakers with Sub connected to the green sound output socket on the PC. Any ideas mate? As it did work OK before i reinstalled.
Help much appreciated.
Regards
Andy

If you right click on my computer and select manage.

Then select device manager and see if any devices have yellow circles with a ! inside.

If so, go to the Dell site and download the latest drivers for the sound card.

If not, you may have a resource CD that was supplied with your machine. If so, the drivers will be on there.

You'll either need to install the drivers off the cd, or as Adrian said, off the dell website, I think on the dell site, you can put in your pc's serial number, and it'll tell you what you have
