Like the answers above, only most Dells don't come with recovery CD's any more.
When you first turn your PC on, the Dell logo should appear. Hit F12 when it does, and it'll beep. You'll see a menu appear. There should be an option on there called System Recovery or Restore or something like that.
And you will lose everything if you restore it.
