fresh xp install
Well I finally got stupid and reformatted my Dell Dimension 2350. I am a
newbie so be gentle! When I install Windows XP Pro the hardware drivers cannot be found for the Ethernet, video etc. Is there a place I can download these drivers or am I screwed as I did not make one of these infamous recovery CD's. I guess I got a little hasty in my formatting. Help is appreciated. Rob |

You got a drivers disk with your machine. It
is called "Resource CD. Any updates can then be downloaded from Dell and/or the makers web sites. "Pgatoo" wrote in message ... Well I finally got stupid and reformatted my Dell Dimension 2350.

It can be found on your Dimension Resource CD or downloaded over at www.support.dell.com ...... |

Your system should have come with a drivers CD. IMHO, that's the easiest
way to get it working (how will you download the Ethernet drivers, otherwise). If you don't have it, you can get all the Dell drives from http://dell.com/support using another system.... -- Regards, Hank Arnold "Pgatoo" wrote in message ...
