machinegun,
See the following article http://support.dell.com/us/en/kb/document.asp?DN=1081757
Also, backup any files you wish to keep before you begin the reinstallation procedure.

1) Boot into your bios and make sure your CD-ROM is the first book priority
2) Save the bios changes and restart
3) You will get brought into WinXP Home setup
4) Choose to install Windows XP Home
5) IT will detect a previous installation
6) Delete the previous install and format using NTFS
7) Follow the rest of the setup from there
