reinstall original windows with dell drivers

Question

I just bought a new hard drive to replace my old hard drive and I want to get the new hard drive to be exactly how it was when I got my computer which was with Windows XP with all the dell software and drivers installed and also get that 31 mb diagnostic partition on there too. Does anyone know how I can do this?

u can install win xp and the drivers but not the 31 mb diagnostic. Anyways the diags can be run using the resource cd it self. so u dont have to worry abt it. u have to boot to the cd and from the dos mod goto the cd rom drive and tyoe diags32.
