HERE is the Dell instructions for a complete manual reinstall.
However, many Dell's have a Recovery Partition on the hard drive that will restore it to the factory setup. On XP systems it's CTRL/F11 at initial boot up. On systems that were delivered with Vista it's F8 at initial boot up. If your PC has this, it's best to use the Dell PC Restore (and it does not require any discs).
