When i did it the first time, The "foreign help" guy helped me reinstall all my drivers. Its not a system restore cd, because i have a built in system restore.

thanks for your help, ill do that and call them... ..just the foreign people are hard to understand :?

words from disk... Operating system Already installed on computer Reinstalation cd Microsoft windows xp home edition including service pack 1a Only use this cd to reinstall the software DELL 1996-2003 dell comp corporation 1985-2001 microsoft corp allrights reserved for distribution only with a new dell comp its a home edition The words when i try to USE the cd... Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on your computer is newer than the version on the CD

Both systems are windows XP, so im not entirely sure about how i either one could be older or newer. I do have an automatic upadte thing from windows, that adds security updates and what not.

Its the actual copy. But it says the windows system on the disk is more previous than the one im using now on my computer.

Ive done it once before. The computer came with a new system reinstallation cd. But i just recently tried it again, and says i have a newer version?? So it wont let me do what i did last time.

Is there any way to completely "wipe out" your hardrive, all info, games, and what not from your computer? I just want to compltely start my computer as if i just plugged it in for the first time. Ty if you leave help
