OK, what you have to do is turn on the computer, when you see the Dell Screen, press immediately the Ctrl+F11 this will prompt you to PCRestore by SymantecIn there you'll get the options to restart or to Restore, the one you need. Click on Restore, and that's it... That's how you reinstall Windows on a Dell computer without the CD... This will let your computer as factory settings, and you'll lose all your data (documments, pics, music) so be aware of that.GioAguilar

And SP1 & SP2 are for the Service Pack 1 & 2, important Windows Updates...
