hi ken
if i can't find another dell the same, & if i could get a winxp cd, could i
just install it?
Yes, assuming that you buy a *retail* Windows XP CD or a generic OEM
one. Probably not, if you buy a brand name OEM CD, which will very
likely be BIOS-locked to that particular maker's computers of a
particular model number.
And note that your product key will only work with an OEM CD, and must
also match with respect to whether it's XP Professional or XP Home.
if i put it in the cd drive and boot up
Yes, you have to set the BIOS to boot from the CD first, not the hard
drive.
would it just load the new winxp?or do i have to format first?
No, don't format first. Just tell it, when asked, to do a clean
installation from scratch, and it will do the formatting as its first
step.
If you buy a CD, I recommend the retail upgrade version, not an OEM
one. Read the following to find out why:
The single biggest disadvantage of an OEM copy is that its license
ties it permanently to the first computer it's installed on. It can
never be moved to another, not even if the original one dies.
For that reason, I think OEM copies of Windows XP are very poor value,
and I always recommend the retail upgrade, which usually costs only
slightly more, instead. And despite what some people think, an upgrade
copy *can* do a clean installation as long as you own a CD of a
previous qualifying version to show it as proof of ownership when
prompted. Most people have a Windows 98 CD around, but worst case, if
you don't, you can buy one inexpensively someplace like eBay.

is only good for 1 year. i know what u mean by emergency recovery, but that
don't happen.
so i suppose the ? now is do i just throw it out or is there another option?
You certainly don't need to throw out the computer. Worst case you
might have to buy a copy of Windows XP.
Do you have the product key on a sticker on the computer (probably on
the back)? If so, find a friend with the same model Dell and ask the
friend to make a copy of the restoration CD for you (that's a
legitimate copy, since you own a license to use Windows XP as proven
by the Product Key sticker). You'll enter your key when prompted to do
so.
