Guys,

does anyone have a Dell XP Home ISO or a trusted link to a genuine one? I've got a Dimension in that needs a reformat, but have had problems with a normal XP Home OEM disk previously..

Hanx in advance :)

    Have you tried returning to factory settings?

    Press Ctrl + F11 on bootup and if the hidden restore partition is intact it will give some options, one of which is to auto format and reload xp.

    that's ok for the drivers, but not the XP recovery disk....or at least I couldn't find it, either with tag or manually through the site.

    As it happens, the install went smoothly with my OEM disk anyways, so didn't end up needing a dell-specific one...just had to pick up the last couple of drivers manually :)
