    Hi all!
    i've got a quik simple question dealing with my dino-i-6000 dell. i bought the thing off my brother 10 months ago and i believe he did a format/reboot without using a xp recovery disk. i tried talking to him tonight about it and he said he'd need the laptop infront of him to dissect it. i really can't remember what he was talking about but he said it might be possible to do a format and reboot using the exsisting drivers/os on it?? is this possible?

    I assume there is a partition on the HD for reformatting. but how can i track that down without using a xp-cd?
