Well Dell keeps all their drivers for download at support.dell.com - you can actually open two windows and have your original system configuration open in one and the driver list in the other so you can make sure you get all the right ones, then burn your own driver disk.
If I understand you right though, you're looking to make a quick install CD of windows, the drivers and your programs. If that's what you want, I'd recommend using Symantec/Norton Ghost to take an image of your system after you've installed everything and gotten it just right - it's proprietary software (not free) but it's the best one I've used for that purpose.
One of the things Microsoft actually did right with Vista was build that kind of functionality into it by default - if you've got Premium or better, that is.
That is what I thought - will have to make my own cd and then re-install everything and then GHOST it for the software. Will have to be sure to use CDRW since always changing/adding software.
