UNSOLVED
RE-LOAD SOFTWARE
I am having system problems and would like to blow it away and reload it. I have my dell disks including the OS.
My question is are these bootable and if so will they reload the OS. If not should I F-disk the drive after I create a DOS disk with the CD rom drivers?
I am afraid if I just try and load the OS over the older copy I will still have junk laying around in the register.
What is the best approach for doing this.

I would go through it once NOT doing it, so you can see all the steps.
Here is another link with similar instructions that (for me, anyway) are easier to follow....

When you reinstall Windows XP using the above procedures (booting from XP CD), it deletes everything, so Fdisk is not necessary.
