You need a bunch of drivers after you run the installation cd. They can be downloaded, but that's another can of worms I'm dealing with right now. I've got the next step...Dimension 4600.
The EXPRESS SERVICE CODE number is on the side of your computer. Its a little sticker. Your SERVICE TAG is a bunch of letters and a couple numbers and it should be part of that sticker also.

The Dell XP reinstallation CD is bootable and can be used to both partition and format the hard drive.

Hi Cbball
The windows xp disk will allow you to reformat you HD it is a bootalbe CD. Make sure you choose an ntfs partition.
