it is not legal to make copies of microsoft windows cds and sell them as
this person is offering. any windows xp will work to reload the
operating system on your dimension 3000 and all the necessary drivers
are available for free download from support.dell.com.
the windows activation code on the side of your system is not required
to be entered if you boot and install windows from a dell branded
windows xp cd (which sell for about $5 on ebay delivered if you do not
have one). if you used a generic windows xp cd the product code will be
needed and will only work with oem (as opposed to retail) editions of
the windows xp cd.

There is no such thing as a Recovery disk. You get to the partition by
pressing CTRL+F11 at the Dell logo on startup (i.e. before the OS). If
that doesn't work, go here:

For instructions how to fix it.
