First off I am a bit confused.

Was the old problem solved?

If this is now a new problem I will probably just move it to the XP section.

I will look up that Dell model but just for now I will say you should use the Dell recovery CD or partition.

If you are saying for example there is Vista on this laptop and you want to overwrite that OS then that is a different question altogether.
