There is no Dell restore CD for this laptop. It came on a 4.5 gig partition. If things weren't this messed up, I could have used the 'ctrl-F11' and restored from the HD. I have access to the Dell ghost image (one image cut into three files), but first attempt only "ghosted" the first file. I thought it would at least prompt me to point to "file2", then "file3".

I have another copy of XP I can use, but I'd like to try and get this laptop to its OEM state.
