Create Cd-Rom System Disk for Inspirion 4100
Would someone please tell me how to create a bootable CD Rom disk with System Files so that I can reformat a Hard Disk and perform FDisk and Scan Disk for Windows 98 or Windows XP or 2000 Operating Systems? I need to reformat and test my Inspirion 4100 Hard Disk.

To run the Dell diagnostic you need to boot off of the Dell utilities CD.

Unfortunately I don't have the Dell Diagnostices CD neither do I have the full version of XP I have full version of Windows 2000 however it trys to start Windows on the Hard Drive which stalls for hours. Is there a way to download Dell Diagnostics Files to CD? Or do I have to order it for delivery by snail mail?

If your hard drive is an IBM/Hitachi one then you can use Drive Fitness.
