Dell Dimension 8400 - Reboot Discs
I was wondering if an where I could order reboot discs for my Dell Dimension 8400.
P4 3.0 GHz w/HT verification?
Is there ANY way to verify I indeed have P4 3.0 GHz w/HT an not just P4 3.0 GHz?

If you did not receive a CD for reinstalling Windows XP with your system, call technical support and advise them of this fact. They will provide one.

Hi, I have a Dimension 8400 purchased just last week and my computer came up with a windows protections files message that requested the Windows XP CD-ROM. I contacted Dell who told me that Dell do not send computers with the CD ROM disc anymore.
Instead, the hard drive 'apparently' has a partition on it, where Windows XP is stored and accessed. I was advised to ring (In the UK) Dell Software support to be told how to access it!

Supposedly the procedure here may produce a reinstallation CD, but the documentation is not clear that it will do so and the one user who has tried it was unable to make it work. If it works for you, please post that fact and confirm that it does produce an XP reinstallation CD. (Of course, if the error you received prevents you from booting to Windows the procedure is clearly useless.)
The other alternative you have in the UK is to call the number in this post. It has worked for others who have tried it.
In either case, please post your results.
