you could probally try a repair install of windows 2000 if you have the disc, get more opinions though
Ok the blue screen, what does it say? it could be an operating system problem, when it did the disk clean-up did you interfere with it at all? you need to get hold of a windows preofessional disk and use the serial number that you have used for your own machine.
check the warranty on it aswell, because if it is still in date then you should be able to send it back to them to save you self some time.

Yeah, just put the disc in when it's starting up. You'll need to make sure it boots from the CD, which is in the BIOS screen. With your laptop, you'll probably get there with F2 when the black Dell screen first shows up. You should find it in the boot sequence list, or something similar.

I've seen that blue screen all to often, but usually when I pushed my system to hard trying find its over clock sweet spot. For some reason when system memory is stressed both Win2k and XP will sometimes run a chck dsk looking for errors and then it begins deleting a bunch of files that it shouldn't delete which results in a seriously corrupted operating system. When it gets to that point my experience has taught me to go for a clean reinstall of windows. If you have a laptop then it probably came with a Restore disk.
ok it says the following list shoes the existing partitions and unpartitions space on this computer
Use the up and down arrow keys to sleect an item on the list. to delete a partition press d so set up windows xp on a partition press enter.
i have one partition currently with a os on it and should i delete that one ? i tried to make xp on that partition but it says since it has another os on it its not reccomended

It says that because, the computer thinks you are trying to install another operating system rather than replacing an old one, so I would install it on the same partition that the old one is on and it will over write all the old stuff, just make sure you have all the required disks you might need to get your computer going again before you do it.
