Back up any important data. Clean install. Make sure and delete the partition,format and clean install. Did it come like this? Make sure you have all the drivers handy.
The XP install key will be on the computer, if you are using the Install CD from Dell. The directions for install will be on http://support.dell.com/us/en/home.asp just click configuration under your Asset tag.

Obviously, for some reason your install of XP was incomplete. Did anyhing strange happen during the install? Have you tried running SFC, or doing a repair installation?
