How do i Restore my Dell Dimension 2200 to factory defult with no disks for the xp or drivers?

I have an old Dell Dimension 2200 XP that works really slowly due to various bugs and viruses that i just can't get rid of. I would like to restore the whole system to Factory Defult but don't have any of the disks for the xp or drivers. I just want to clear the whole machine and start again.|||without the disks it is going to be impossible.


You will need at least a Windows CD to match the XP CoA (licence) on the side of the machine, the drivers you can download from the Dell website.


IT does not matter where the CD comes from (borrow one from someone else will do) but it does need to match the licence or it will not install the CD key on the CoA. All the CoAs have a code number, so do the CDs, it is the only way to ensure you have the right code for the type of disk. For example if your CoA has the standard 25 digits (5x5) there is also an X number something like X08-12345 this determines the disk that the code works on, you cannot use an XP SP3 CD to install and expect it to accept an SP1 code number.
