Hi all Have Problem

Just received my new 4600c with  17" lcd. System worked great for about an hour then started messing up. Called dell support they told me to reinstall Windows xp so I tried. Now all it does is Windows Xp logo comes up,then says instalilation is starting,then screen goes black, cursor flashes and system starts all over and just keeps repeteing and won't let me do anything else.

Please any help would be appreciated thank you

See if the following document can help you reinstall XP

http://support.dell.com/us/en/kb/document_print.asp?DN=RG1060556  

  http://support.dell.com/SoftwareReinstallGuide/Results.aspx?CatID=0&OSID=47&SysID=DIM_P4_4600C&_ctl69.x=27&_ctl69.y=10

If this is your first reinstall and it's within the 21 day grace period [from the invoice date].  You could also phone Dell's Technical Support and request them to "talk' you through the reinstall.

that would be ridiculous. you should probably just send back the system if youre within the 21 days.

Yes Dan I did and even had dell's support tech help me step by step and now they are sending me cd disks to set it back to factory specs    but they are also  trying to charge me $57.00 for these disks and I don't think it's right after all this is factory default in my book
