Caution!!! This will Erase your Data and return your computer back to like it was just shipped from the Factory.
Also, go to support.dell.com and type in your service tag #. This should confirm if you have the hidden partition on your drive. |
And if it came with Windows XP any Dell Branded OEM Windows XP CD you can use this to boot from to reload the O/S without entering your key.
