Try F9, F10, or F11 Can't remember exactly which it was might even have been
F7?? on the boot up..I had to repair a Dell last year, didn't have a clue
that it had the hidden partition either,. Called Dell support and he told me
to hit the f key to access the hidden partition and rebuild back to day
one... no $$ back guarantee but it might work for you too,

I do not know how to access them. You do not need to isntall W98. Run the
upgade and put the w98 cd in when prompted.

Subject: [CTS] dell laptop reload question
Hi guys, long time no post.
Merry Christmas to all.
I think this is my first post since moving out of my Dad's apartment.
I've been given a dell laptop, it has XP on it, no recovery disk.
The copy of XP crashed, I think I need to reload windows...
I only have a upgrade copy so I'd have to put win98 on it first...
My question is this- do dell's have a hidden folder on thier hard drives,
if I format the disk, will I be hatein' life?
Can I redownload what ever is lost from dell?
It's a Dell Latitude, originally came w/ win2000
thanks
