If the computer is now inoperable, you have little choice but to use
whatever recovery mechanism Dell provided with your computer. It's probably
a recovery partition on your hard drive which should be described in your
documentation. That should restore the OS to the state it was in when you
took delivery. You will then probably have to reinstall any programs you've
installed since you got the computer.

If the computer is operable, and you need to resolve specific issues, you
need to:

1. Post in an appropriate Windows group, like
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general, and

2. Post details of the issues, including full content of any error messages
you are getting and the circumstances under which the error messages appear.

Assuming the machine still boots OK you might try a recovery tool.
Probably not highly like to work but it saved my Dad's bacon when his
machine died on him. (Nagged him for years to take backups. Now he knows
why.)

Try searching for "file recovery" in Google.

Here's a couple of sites :
