Hello, I am normally an Apple user and system maintenance is a rare occurrence.

I have a Dell Inspiron that is running very very slow. My choice first thought to fix this was to reinstall XP but on doing so I get the message "The file nvrd32.sys cannot be found. Press any key to continue".

Any suggestions for a fix appreciated.

How are you restoring Windows? Have you created a restore image from the restore partition and using that? Or using the HD restore partition directly? Or someone else's DVDs?

Most of times it caused by a damaged disk(scratches on the disk which causes some data lose) or maybe your optical drive had it's time, can't read all of the information from the CD properly. Try another disk or use an external optical drive will normally solve the problem, if still the same, it may caused by some bad tracks on the hard disk.
