I Would like to reformatt my computer, though I'm guess my hard drive is split into 2 partitons because it never came with a windows xp disk, anyone know the command on start up to reformatt?

Try F11 as this tends to be a favorite with Dell for recovery.

No luck with that, I remember doing it before but can't remember the command, was something like Hold shift or ctrl and push one of the F buttons :(

It should be F12 to go to the boot menu. Then boot from Utility partition.

You need to press F12 quickly as soon as you turn on the PC.

Click on start then Run and type in "Format C:" and press enter then follow on screen instructions. (leave off the " marks.) when the Format command is used.
