Hi....New to the forum here, thanks!  I recently received a Dell Optiplex GX260 from my boss for my son, it was working fine but the HD just crashed.  We purchased a 160 GB HD and installed it last night......Also used a Dell OS disc from my laptop along with our XP upgrade disc.

 

I have no drivers installed now, but the CDROM, HD, etc. are being recognized.  My boss said we need a clean Windows XP disk that would have the Dell drivers embedded into it....We have 2 Dell's but have always received them with the OS installed.

 

I have been looking at the Dell driver downloads, and have the list of the order in which they should be installed.  I put the service tag info in and found the system info, but it's not specific enough to tell me exactly which drivers I need.

 

I have no internet connection due to the driver issue so I can't scan that computer.....I'm on here with my Inspiron 5150 looking for help.

 

Can I at least get the driver for network access?.....Or does anyone have a solution for me?  I'm not too bad with computers, but we have never installed a new HD in this manner.  The old HD went very fast (and I was out of town), so we couldn't do a backup (I still have the HD though).

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
