reinstalling windows

[nygiants]

I currently have a Dell Vostro 1500. I am running windows xp. i am interested in reinstalling windows and am wondering what to do and how to do it. What drivers will i need to reinstall? i have backed up my important files and have 6gb of space for anything else i might need. I dont have any of the factory cd's/drivers

as soon as you turn on your computer start pressing F11, you should see a screen shortly after the BIOS screen disappears. choose restore and the laptop will return to the same state that it was in when you got it from the factory.
