Off Topic:New Notebook hard disk and installing Windows XP

General discussion

I need to install a new hard disk in my Dell notebook. I have a new Windows XP CD and need some help on how to install it . I donot have the drivers CD with my notebook so should I copy them from my file/ folders and install when the XP is installed or how else can I do it? Would I be able to download from Dell website once I installed Xp and connect to the internet?

I would appreciate some advice because I have never done this before, can anyone give me any tips and is it fairly simple to do this. Thanks

Your best bet is to go to the Dell support web site. There will be documentation and downloads for your laptop, including instructions for replacing a drive and restoring Windows and drivers.
