Clean Install On An Old Dell 4550 W/Dell - CD-ROM
Jul 22, 2006a friend has a Dell Dimension 4550 (P4-2Ghz, 60Gb HDD, 784mb RAM- added 512mb and a NEC DVD+/-R, circa 2002 I think?) and needs to do a clean install. He has the CD that came with it. We looked all over google and the Dell site and can't seem to find out how to do a clean install. We pressed F12 and tried to boot from the CD-ROM and thought it was going to work, but it said that we were trying to install XP on a partition that already had XP on it. I saw no option for full/clean restore.

Feb 26, 2010Our Dell XPS has been freezing up. You have maybe 10 good minutes before it happens - it doesn't seem to matter what you were doing - we have been using firefox, or IE, or any number of other non-web browser programs when it happens. It will suddenly freeze up and there is nothing you can do but shut it down by pressing the power button.The only thing different that we did recently was download and install the latest Norton 360. After that the freezing up started, but in all honesty, it was seeming a little sluggish before that.

Dec 14, 2005I want to run the Dell Diagnostics from my ResourceCD that came with my computer. I suspect a problem with my video card and I am trying to check it out. I've been trying the following steps but it doesn't work.
This is exactly what it says in my Dell Handbook:
1. Insert the resource CD.
2. Shut down and restart the computer. When the Dell logo appears, press F12 immediately.
3. When the boot device list appears, highlight IDE CD-ROM Device and press Enter. This is as far as I can get. When I select the CD-ROM to boot from, nothing happens and Windows loads normally.
4. Select the IDE CD-ROM Device option from the CD boot menu...........

However, after putting in the XP disk and starting up the computer I am not getting the hit any key to reboot from cd message I expected. (from what I've been reading maybe this is because XP was preinstalled) in any case I can hit F4 or F12 and am given options, but don't know the right way to reboot from here. I can easily follow instructions if someone can give them to me.

Mar 7, 2006Ever since I reinstalled a few weeks ago, I'm still having problems.No doubt it's because I chose not to install all the Dell disks (since for crying out loud - who wants so much extraneous junque?Some of my problems:(1) Attachments I receive in webmail don't work. for example, someone sent me .doc attachments and when I tried either download or preview or saving to WordPad (as well as text-file) - nothing worked. All it displayed was either one line of gibberish or nothing at all.(2)Whereas prior to reinstall, my Nvidia Color-Correction tab used to display(complete with popout tab) so that I could dim my screen via Contrast/Brightness/etc., now it fails to display.This is affecting my health due to my photosensitivity!It's definitely related to my reinstallation. There's definitely stuff missing.My question is:Since the Dell Darlings failed to be so kind as to thoroughly label each CD, perhaps someone here can enlighten me re: how I should proceed in order to regain the above functions?

Oct 16, 2009A little background to the problems I have had. At first I had the 1 2 3 diagnostic lights lit green and it would be a black screen (when I power on) and would not load windows nor the dell screen (could not access bios). I took the cmos battery out and this time it flashed the dell screen so I went into the bios and disabled the floppy drive as there is not one and it fixed the problem...(booted fine) but then something else went wrong. I got the flashing amber light. I had a 500W psu I bought for this system anyway so I put that in and again was able to get back to windows. I decided to do a windows clean install as I was also getting explorer.exe and drwatson errors. During Xp setup I selected L to replace the windows folder with the files on my windows installation cd. Apparently doing this removed my ethernet adapter and controllers so now the windows cannot access the web to update the installation. Now the Windows installation freezes and will not continue. I tried restarting the computer and it went right back to the windows installation and froze again. I restarted a 3rd time and this time I got a black screen that says x300xtbios p/n 113-a33-437-102. What does this mean and how do I fix this... I tried popping out the cmos battery again (not sure what I was hoping for there but figured it couldnt hurt) and now I am back to the 1 2 3 green lights being on and the computer makes 2 beep sounds on start up. Only problem is this time I cant seem to get the dell screen to come up so I cant get into the bios again like I did last time. All I wanted was a clean windows installation. What does the x300xbios stuff mean..why did that come up and what should I do now?
