Question

I recently purchase a new 80gb HDD for my Dell Latitude D610, due to a total HDD crash! no data saved. This Laptop will operate as a secondary laptop...it has a Intel Pentium 1.60 GHz processor. OK I loaded the XP Pro recovery software, then plugged a ethernet to the wireless router to get on the internet to try and get everything updated...it will not connect. I went into the system properties/hardware/device mgr and discovered several yellow ?! aside Ethernet Controller, Multimedia controller....etc...etc. I am assuming here is the problem....I can't get on the internet due to no driver installed si how do i go about getting the dirver installed and WHERE do i go to get the driver i need! I can use this laptop to get on the internet....one idea is burn a driver to a CD using this laptop, then install on the other laptop.....I'm a novice about this stuff so bear with me.....   RodenyP

All I've installed is the XP Pro, and the two Dell reinstallation CDs for sonic RecordNow and Cyberlink PowerDVD...
