When you order from dell, make sure you order
under small business as the prices are cheaper,
and request nothing on the system except the operating
system. They will do this for you, or at least
they have done this. Make sure to order the backup
cd's, otherwise you will just get a restore partition
on the hard drive, so if your hd goes, you are
out of luck.
This is the way I order all of my machines. They will remove everything for you. Like TCA said, make sure to get the OS on CD, not the image partition on the hard drive.
