download the ultimate boot cd and in the hard drive tool use the wipe command, also check online and see if you need to slipstream the SATA drivers on to a installation disk to do an XP install

hi and thanks for your reply. Please note i do not have a cd or dvd with xp on it . xp window was on the dell laptop when i bought it.
i have recently purchased window 7 and i am having problems with it. i just want to remove window 7 and reset it to xp or xp factory settings. Thanks in advance.
please note, f11 and ctrl does not give an option for factory setting

^Hi, your dell laptop must have the label of win XP on the reverse, just borrow a XP CD from a friend and install with this CD and the key that your laptop label have.

You need a Dell Windows XP Home CD.

^+1, you need a CD of the same version that you key label, in this case, a Win XP Home Edition.
