Clean Install of XP. Is it possible to do a clean install of XP using the OS cd provided by Dell currently being mailed to me?
I have downloaded all the drivers and utilities for the hardware, but I'm wondering if I'll need to install those for the BIOS and chipset? Lastly, does the Dell provided CD support drive partioning? I ask because I have my own Windows XP Pro CD that I purchased to upgrade my desktop computer, but I'd like to use the Dell provided CD for this clean install in order to retain the changes that Dell made, for example the provided support information stored on the C: drive, support information tab provided under "General" tab in System properties of the control panel, etc.

It contains no drivers or software that you are looking for, and it functions just like a retail CD with full ability to partition during a CLEAN install.
You will "retain" nothing during a CLEAN install, and will have to install all your programs and data. This utility restores the computer to an "as-shipped" condition.
They can tell if you they can send you a new CD. It may cost a few bucks, but it would be worth it. Chances are, if they have Dell systems, they have CDs to spare. Or, they may make a copy for you. ISO files, it supports a wide range of other image file formats, and it's free. After you enter user name and password you will be asked to: 'Type your Windows product key', do not enter a key.
Also located just below the box where you would enter the key is a box with a check mark to 'Automatically activate Windows when I am online', remove the check mark and click 'Next'. Support Wissensdatenbankartikel. Artikelinhalt Artikeleigenschaften Diesen Artikel bewerten.
