Hi Jesse,
try this site I used it ages back and it worked

Thanks for getting back to me so quick, but that is actually the first site i went into when i was investigating the problem! I tried everything on there but to no avail!! The only thing i havent done that he suggested was to use the windows disk that i dont have or cant afford at the time!! I guess ill just have to wait till i can afford it unless anyone can come up with other possible solutions!! But i do thank you for what you have suggested so far!!!

 

hi jesse,
I got the same problem you just got and I still did not resolve mine yet, trying to see if thier is a way to fix this problem without buying a WINDOWS XP disc which I can't afford neither!!
keep in touch if ever you find a solution to the problem?
take care................ TONY

 

Jesse, have a look at this link:http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Windows-XP-P...ZViewItemQQptZAU_software?hash=item2558343cd9

This is a complete set of XP Pro disks which would be the answer to your problem. It's Dell suitable. Cheers Neil.
