reinstalling windows xp

I need help going about reinstalling windows xp. I want to swipe off my
entire computer and reinstall windows xp for a fresh start to erase a few
viruses infecting my system. I have an inspiron 6000 labtop and did not
receive cds with it. Can i reinstall it on this website and if so how??
Thanks for your responses.

My Inspiron 6000, and I suppose yours as well, has a repair partition.
The instructions in the fine manual (cleverly contained on the hard drive)
will tell you
the steps to access this partition. Be aware that this partition restores
your computer
to its as delivered state.
