Replacing Vista with XP Pro

I just received Inspiron 1501 laptop with Vista installed.  I wanted XP Pro to be consistent with other computers.  I did a clean install using XP Pro disk from Dell computer I damaged.  Win XP works but lacked proper drivers.  I downloaded all 28 XP drivers for the 1501 and transfered them to a directory on C: drive of the 1501 (couldn't download directly to 1501 because of lack of drivers).  When I try to install drivers using Device Manager they can't be found.
 
What do I need to do to install the drivers?
 
Thanks
Dave B

    you need to find which drivers you need then double click on the file and they will install.
