Reinstalling XP Media Centre (DELL PC)

mr kr0nik · 2008-05-09 15:12:45

I got a DELL XP MCE PC in Dec '06. Its fairly slow booting up now and I want to reinstall the OS. I got a CD off DELL which doesn't seem to be the OS CD but seems to be a system recovery CD (I'm in work now so it mightn't be called that exactly). It has the OEM license key on it though. Can I reinstall the OS with this CD…

Can I reinstall the OS with this CD or do I need to contact DELL.

Thanks in advance.
