How to Reinstall Windows XP on Latitiude C600??

[seatofpants]

Help!! My Laptop is riddled with something and so need to wipe computer. I have visited the Dell website where it says to Hold "Ctrl" key and "F11" key on startup but nothing happens when I do that. I want to get it back to factory settings.
Any words of wisdom appreciated.

slow down there,

First, what happened to the computer?

Second, how old is the computer? Is it still under warranty?

Third, Dell does not provide full Windows installation CD's - you will have to contact them directly for specific help with the Windows install they gave you.

give us some more info on the problem, then we will gladly help you.

Thanks for reply tdbs, fortunately I calmed myself down and fixed the problem by downloading a new anti-virus package which has done the trick.
