Make sure the chipset drivers are installed first:

Dell will tell you that they provide the drivers in a folder on your hard disk, but they don't tell you that before you format the drive, thus erasing the drivers, so it does very little good. I think their policy of not providing a drivers CD is s t u p i d. If they are going to do this, they need to make it clear in their documentation that one needs to make a backup copy the drivers folder as soon as they get their computer. This still won't solve the problem, since there are too few people that read any documenation, but it would help a little bit.
Glad you got your system back up and running.
