Dell XP has reinstall boot partion
when blue bar starts across bottom of screen at boot……….
press CTRL F11
You can check to see if the dell restore partition is on the hard drive by going to control panel>administrative tools>computer management>disk management. There should be two hidden partitions(no drive letter), one is fat and is about 40MB, the other is fat 32 and is about 3-4 GB. The fat 32 partition is the dell restore image, if you see it chances are good that ctrl+F11 will work. On some computers the blue bar flashes so quickly that if you blink you miss it. When booting hold down ctrl and tap F11 every second or two should do the trick.
