Inspiron 1100 Recovery
Hello,
I am wanting to redo my Inspiron 1100 to the way it came from Dell but cannot find the proper procedure to successfully do this. I have been reading some posts here where partitions were deleted during recovery and it has caused issues.
I have backed up all my data and just want a completely new fresh Dell system. The correct procedure would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
:smileywink:

There is a diagnostic partition on the hard drive, but as long as you do not repartition the drive, it will remain there (it is hidden).
You will need to boot the XP CD, reinstall, install SP2, install the chipset, system software, audio, video, network, etc., drivers.
Then ENABLE THE XP FIREWALL before you go online to get the considerable number of post-SP2 updates.
