INSPIRON E1505 LAPTOP CRASHED AND BURNED

Hi,

This is kind of a complicated post.  I have an E1505 laptop which I purchased from Dell about 5 years ago.  It has worked well over the period, but a day or so ago the laptop wouldn't load XP to completion, I guess.  Once loaded, which took about 5 minutes, the XP software wouldn't work properly.  After playing with the laptop for several hours, I decided that the software load was corrupted and reloaded the XP O/S.  I reformatted the hard drive to do this.  Unfortunately, I am missing hardware drivers (I think) that I need to get the system to connect to the Internet.  I was hoping to find recovery disks for the laptop, but after 5 years, I could not find any.  Do these disks actually exist?  I am not sure.  If they do, does anyone have any suggestions of how I might find and potentially buy them from Dell or someplace else?  I know this is a little hazy, but I originally purchased the laptop for my daughter for college (she gave it back to me a couple of years ago), and if she has the said disks, with all her moves since college, I fear they have been lost.

Thanks,

Matt
