Laptop Help: Not working...

Hi
 
I have a dell laptop and i have a problem with it. It worked fine few days ago but now my desktop won't load. The laptop turns on fine but when i logon to windows the desktop won't show up. I asked for some help in other places and they said i have to reformat my laptop.
 
But i don't have a windows xp cd for the dell laptop or a restoration cd...Do u guys know how i can get a cd to reformat my laptop? Reply back...thanks

    supposedly if your computer isn't too very old...no more than about 7-8 months you can press ctrl f11 at the system bios screen to open a hidden partition on your hard drive that restores your comptuer to when you first got it.
