Need help completely re-installing Windows XP Media Center Edition (like when it was shipped)
Hey guys, I've been having troubles trying to re-install Windows XP Media Center Edition. I know there is a thing already on my computer called Image Restore, I just don't know how to use it. I have a re-installation disk but when I use it I really don't know what to do. It won't let me delete the biggest partition in order to re-install. I want to completely wipe everything off my computer and restore it to its original state when it was shipped to me.

If it applies, it is installed on your system in a partition.
Then read this article.

Link that Fudgieguy takes you on a long ride, and the one above is better in my opinion. I hate it when Dell messes around and makes it harder to find stuff on this site....
