    What do I have to do to make my INSPIRON mini 10 notebook like it was when I first bought it.
    With default settings and factory programs only.
    I remember it was so fast especially on boot up.

    You should have a hidden partition if it wasn't deleted on your hard drive. In the Windows menu, I assume it's Windows 7, look for a program called Dell Backup and Restore. You first need to backup any personal data as the restore program restores the computer to out of the box i.e. factory settings.

    The operating system is Windows XP and I cannot see any program called Dell Backup and Restore.
    I have already removed all personal data files on to a separate hard drive.
