You need to use an imaging program like Acronis True Image. Simply copying the Windows files will not do it.MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!

You haven't told us what version of Windows is on this
system. Assuming XP Home edition, the backup utility is available on the
CD, but not installed by default:

I'm hoping you have an OS CD from Dell. If not,
you'll need to call Dell and see what your options are.
