Other Devices Drivers Missing after Clean Install of Windows XP Pro
Hello,
I just did a clean install of Windows XP Professional on my Dell Latitude D620 laptop. All of my device drivers were installed except those that are in the "Other Devices" driver category. In other words, I am missing the following drivers:
1) Ethernet Controller
2) Network Controller
3) O2Micro CCID SC Reader
4) PCI Device
5) SM BUS Controller
6) Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
What is the best way to install these missing drivers? I have the "Drivers and Utilities" CD that Dell provided, so I will try that first. But, failing that, is it better to have Windows search for the missing drivers or go to directly to the Dell website for the D620? And, if I go to the Dell website, should I be downloading drivers based on my service tag or the more generic section that provides all drivers ever offered for the D620?
Thanks!

When you reload XP you need to reload your drivers according to THIS
Go to the Drivers and Download page and use the service tag option to access the files for your system. DO NOT use the download manager. Use the download via web browser option

Dell is updating its driver site so some files are missing. This should be overcome soon but can be an aggravation.

Your disk should be fine. Install the notebook system software first and reboot and then chipset next and reboot. All the other drivers on the disk or on the site can then be loaded in any order and just boot at the end to activate them. Go to support.dell.com and yes enter your service tag if you want more recent drivers there..

Hi:
You are lucky to have the resource disk with the drivers. You need to install the drivers that are checked.
You need to install the Notebook System Software first. It is under utilities on the disk. This is important. Install it first and reboot. Next go to drivers and install the chipset drivers and again reboot. Now install the remaining drivers that are checked, in any order and when done reboot so all will be installed.
If that does not resolve all your issues support.dell.com is the Dell driver site and once there click on support for small business and enter your service tag for drivers and downloads. You will see a complete list of drivers for four your system. The network driver is usually the Broadcom.
Cheers

I have the same issue but can't find the drivers on the site and now the site wants the computer to have access to the internet to use the stupid download manager but I can't get on the internet with no drivers - this is like morons are in charge...

Use the Dell ftp website:
http://ftp.dell.com/published/Pages/index.html
Download the drivers on another computer to USB and then install in the correct installation order:
