manually installing win xp on new hard drive

Hello,

I just ordered a new hard drive to replace my failing one in my Dimension 9100. I have the Windows XP reinstallation CD.

- Do I need the "Dell Resource CD/DVD"? I did not receive one with my system.

- When I reinstall Windows XP on the new drive, will this also install the hidden partition so I have the option to reset to the factory settings? If not, is it possible to create that hidden partition and how do I do it?

- Any other tips are appreciated. I was just going to follow the article How To Restore or Reinstall Microsoft® Windows® on a Dell™ Computer.

Thanks!
