Inspiron 7000 and Quantex TS30I

I have a Quantex TS30I2-14 notebook that needs some upgrading.  I was told that it is the same machine as the Dell Inspiron 7000.  Is that true?  I did get a used Dell Inspiron 7000 battery and it works fine in the Quantex, but what about other components?  Specifically

DVD/Floppy drive

Hard Drive

RAM

Keyboard

Display/Screen

AC Adapter

Can I upgrade the preceding components on my Quantex notebook with Dell Inspiron parts?

I bought this machine used so I'm not sure of the "specs".  Tell me what info is needed and I'll try to find it.

It says the processor is an Intel Pentium II 366 MHz

I also found that the Hard Drive is a Toshiba MK6409MAV and the DVD drive is a Matshita DVD-ROM SR-8171.

Where, then, do I get the Driver for the "DVD-ROM" so that I can read from it after booting the formatted hard drive (or floppy) and install (setup) Windows 98 SE again ?

The internal Parts for the TS30I2 and the Inspiron 7000 are IDENTICAL. If you open the ram port on the 7000 and look at the motherboard it says TS30I2 on it. Some of the outside plastic parts and display parts are slightly different.

The Compal TS30i or Inspiron 7000/7500 series are quite similar and the battery is interchangeable with all of them.
