Re: Reinstalling OS on Inspiron

BigJim,

Thank you for your comment. What is the difference between the drivers that
are in a folder on my hard drive and the drivers that are on a disk Dell
sent to me that is labeled Dell Inspiron Drivers and Utilities disk that
includes Device drivers and Diagnostics and Utilities.

Thanks again for your help and comments.
