Used the Win XP Prof disc and now restore utility dissappeared
Around a few months after purchasing my Dell Inspiron 6000 I used the windows XP professional reinstallation disc that I bought with it. Going through all the options and installing windows over again went well, but I have a few problems:
*On the Hard Drive (C) there is 35GB of space already taken, which is the amount of my old documents, and I can't seem to access them
*I cannot find the Dell Restore Utility anywhere to delete all saved data on the laptop, and restore factory defaults.
It would be hugely appreciated if someone could tell/show me how to get the dell utility back to restore factory defaults: being my main motivation. I'm worried that I've ruined the laptop's abilities....

You haven't really 'ruined' your PC. You've just made it more difficult to recover from a crash.

Thankyou very much for your help, I'll look into it, but I would actually like to gain access to my old documents. Is there any way I can do this too?
I'll make a reply after I look into the link you gave me. Thanks again
