Tech Clinic / Dell InspironB130 Factory restore! HELP URGENT

OK, I'll post my responses here. Sorry.

I'll try bootcfg /list

Yes I can choose Windows XP Home Edition. But, isn't there a way for it to just load up without asking? I'm going to try the recovery console again. Thanks for all your help.

http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' /> I have the same problem.....(Dell Inspiron B130)
I already reinstalled windows XP on my laptop. During the installation it said some things could not be installed. After it was all complete the start menu option: Connections, wasn't in the start menu. I called dell and they said something about drivers. I don't know what that means. I have built in wireless. I was just trying to clean it for the upcoming college semester. And the only thing on the new user desktop was the recycle bin.
I'm just trying to regain the essential components of windowsXP and the dell ones. I need step by step beginning to end help. Thanks!
I DO have a restore CD.

Also, I made a new thread about this as well. Just thought I would mention it here. Sorry........... The title of the thread is....

Tech Clinic / Dell InspironB130 Factory restore! HELP URGENT

Today I tried to reistinall windowsXP to clear everything off of my laptop for the upcoming college semester.
I have a Dell Inspiron B130. During the installation it said some things could not be installed. After all was complete I noticed that in my start menu, the option: Connections(to connect wirlessly or using a local connection) was not there. Also, there was only the recycle bin icon on my desktop. My latop has  a built in wireless system. I called Dell and they said something about installing drivers. I have no idea how to do that.
I need extreme help. With step by step instructions that will help me regain the essential components my laptop came with. Security(mine came with mcafee), start menu options and programs, just everything. My stomach is in nots. Can someone give me instructions so I can start from the beginning and end up with everything installed. I do  have  a Dell/Windows XP service Pack 2 CD.

If possible: Is there something I can do with the CD now to regain what was lost without starting over?

PLEASE HELP ANYONE! http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />
