By installing an OS outside of the DELL recovery, you have lost access to the recovery partition, which would be the easiest means to revert back to XP. But, depending on the model of the DELL, you can recover access to that partition. Is your system one of the following? Being an XP system, I assume it is older.

Dimension 1100, 2400, 3000, 3100, 4550, 4600, 4700, 5000, 5100, 5150, 8200, 8300, 8400, 9100, 9150, B110, E310, E510, E520, E521, XPS 400, XPS 410, XPS 720, XPS Gen 4.

Inspiron 500m, 510m, 530s, 600m, 630m, 640m, 700m, 1150, 1200, 1300, 1501(AMD), 2200, 5100, 5150, 6000, 6400, 8600, 9300, 9400, B120, B130, E1405, E1505, E1705, M710, M1210, mini-10v, XPS, XPS Gen 2, XPS M1710. Vostro 200.


If one of these is yours, then go to Inside the Dell PC Restore Partition for the Dsrfix.
