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.
