Another option is to go and uninstall everything that's on it, but getting an OEM disc is the best choice

Well dc....can I not format the drive, lose all of the shite that builds up on hard drives, make a system partition and say, a storage partition, then reinstall XP, using the reinstallation cd - giving me a new, clean pc, just like day one, but with 2 partitions, just the way I want it. Surely the reinstallation cd will let me do that. That crap that Dell pre-install isn't that big a deal...it was there day one as well.
