Yes, remove the CMOS 3V battery to restore the default boot order, then boot from the DELL service CD or USB image and erase/renew the service tag.
Or, remove the drive and put a clean DOS bootable HD, with the programs copied from DELL service CD and try on.

Hope this helps.

I have posted the USB bootable memstick variant, some while ago:

Plug in a USB memsitck, run it then copy the files from there to your bootable HDD

Thanks Bob,trying now to cheat the d820 to boot from usb ( i am a lucky one,i can acces windows)

Must be a bootable DOS drive with MSDOS 6.0 or above. (MSDOS 6.22 or WIN98 DOS will be just fine). If you can't boot from anything else than the HDD, then use another drive and make it DOS bootable and put the files there, as Victor suggested above
