Device reinstallation. XP over Vista

I installed XP over Vista and therefore I need to reinstall the devices.
However, I do not have my resource installation disc that includes the data
to reinstall the devices.

Am I am to purchase a new resouce installation disc or obtain one anywhere
to reinstall the devices for a Dell Inspiron 600m?

Thanks, Joe.

You are to go to the Dell website and find all the drivers for your
system.

I certainly hope you ran the Vista Upgrade Advisor before you did all
of this.

Why can't you just download the drivers and software from Dell at

You mean the XP Downgrade Advisor, don't you PD43?
