Hi Patrick, There are 2 support journals that will help you get your OP and drivers on your system. The first HERE is for your Operating System, and the second HERE is for your drivers, and what order they go on. You wont have to boot off your drivers Cd to get your drivers on, also after you have your system up and running, HERE is an link to your drivers page.

This is a really good reply, it tells me exactly what I need to know. It is a shame this information is not easily accessible from my Dell Home Page.
Many thanks, much appreciated. :emotion-1:

The following may help you to reinstall XP, if you don't a floppy drive, or are not using RAID.
Enter the setup, scroll down to drives, press Enter or + to expand the drive menu then down to "SATA Operation", press Enter.
Change the SATA operation mode to "RAID Autodetect/ATA" press ESC to save and exit the BIOS.
