You have run into the Windows XP SATA hard disk problem.
The Dell PC has a hidden partition with a full copy of Vista. to Restore your system to factory settings:
You must press <F8> before the Windows logo appears on the screen. If you press <F8> after the Windows logo appears on the screen, the Advanced Boot Options menu will not appear on the screen. If you do not see the Advanced Boot Options menu, restart the computer, and then repeat this step until you see the menu on the screen.

sounds like you erased the restore partition. Call Dell and order a restore DVD
