Re: PLease how can I erase everthing on my hard drive and start as new on me Xp Dell Com.

You should have a recovery CD or windows installation CD that came with the comp. You want to start the comp, put in the CD and walk through the step-by-step process to reinstall. It is fairly self explanatory once you get the CD in. If your comp does not have enough time to read the CD, reboot it while the CD is still inside.

Hope that helps

You will need to contact Dell for a replacement recovery CD
