If it has a recovery partition, you get to it by hitting CTRL+F11 at the
initial Dell screen before the OS boot starts.

Running this will restore the machine to the "as shipped" state.

The following link has more than  you ever want to know about the Dell

If you really need a Dell XP OS disk, contact me off-list.
