If you got that message you are somewhere else. From a dead stop, start the machine and press F2 key when you see the Dell logo. A few times to make sure you got it, and you will see a message that says "entering setup". Are you there yet?

[janalise]

yes

Find the setting for boot order and make sure that CD is first (floppy is OK for second, if you have one, and hard drive third)

Hit escape with the Operating system CD in the CD ROM drive and it will boot from that. If you get that far, then follow the instructions for installing WIndows here under XP clean installing:

When you are in bios, or think you are in bios, what is written in the very top 2 lines of the screen?
What you would call the 'heading lines'.

im still paying it off.  im not going to give it away for free.  it has wireless internet and everything...im so sad

Sorry for your trouble m8 but I have found IBM PCs to be the best and most reliable and you can still get great back up even for very old systems.
Now that's what I call service.
