Hello, I know that a segment of my hard disk holds a back-up of Windows XP, but I don't know the command to activate the reinstall using this back-up.
Can you help?
Many thanks

I don't have a Dell myself, I just searched www.dell.com for "inspiron 6000 restore", so make sure the instructions make sense to you and don't blame me if you Smurf up your system.

I've checked elsewhere, and you're right!
Will use it in due course.
I've already read elsewhere that the pre-installed software on the Inspiron 6000 amounts to bloatware, i.e. it actually slows my system down. Well, for one thing, I have no use for Media Center. And the Sonic DVD player application is a real pain, auto-starting every time I insert a DVD. Haven't worked yet how to uninstall the thing. Will write to Dell for a Windows CD; will format my hard disk and install Windows only!
Thanks again for taking the time to find this out for me.
