Go here: http://support.dell.com/support/down...D=INS_PNT_6000 And download the drivers for your network cards, video card, sound card, input drivers(trackpad), etc. Put those on a flash drive. Give your computer a once over, and make sure you won't miss any documents or anything. If you need something, copy it to the flash drive as well. Don't forget your internet bookmarks and address book and such if you want those. When you're content with everything going away, just put in the op system CD, and reboot the computer. When it first starts up, tap the F12 key repeatedly until you see it load the Boot Selection screen. This will be a DOS menu that allows you to choose what device you want to boot to. It will list your HD, the CD/DVD drive, network boot, etc. Choose the CD/DVD drive. That will boot to the op system CD. Once that loads, just go through the setup process. Be sure to tell it to erase the HD before installing. That option will be available when you choose which drive to install Windows on. Otherwise it will install over the top of your current install, and that will be a mess. If you need any additional help, just start a new thread about it so we don't clutter this up with reinstall posts.
