I have a Dell Desktop running XP. Bought it about 3-4 yrs ago. Still an awesome computer. But now it is just running slow and is bogged down. it is now a secondary computer and I want to start with a clean slate an format my hard drive.. I have done it before on XP and Win98, but forget the details.. Can someone provide me with step by step instructions? Thanks

Best thing to do is go to the Dell website, drivers and downloads, and look at the manual for the instructions on reinstalling your operating system. It's not the same for every model.
