If it's from Dell and you've never formatted the hard drive you should still have a recovery partition on the hard drive. You probably have to press something like F11 or something when your computer is first turned on. There should be something on screen for a sighted person to tell them what to press for recovery.
Once you run that you will likely have the option to do a full restore i.e. sysstem partition and data partition, or just the system partition keeping your data in tact.

Hi. From yesterday onwards I have discovered that my desktop is not performing at a standard speed. It takes for ever for the OS to load up. From there on the PC will be very slow to respond to a keystroke or command. Items wil load up and then I will get a Windows Error message. It's really taken a turn for the worse over the last couple of days and I don't know what caused this. The only thing that's been deleted is a user account which I had setup for the children. I thought that would of had an opposit effect. I've had the machine for nearly 3 years now as I had bought it from Dell. I don't have the original recovery CD so I can even perform a clean re-install.--Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network.
