After Re-installing Win XP Pro - Software Drivers??
OK -
First I MUST
THANK ALL who responded to my other problem and provided me with the slipstreaming to take my XP PRO to XP PRO SP2 and the IMG to boot the CD.
Now my XPS400 is running AGAIN!! BUT...
All the software that was is on the PC is not linked into the Windows/system32 directory for the DLL's.
QUESTION:
Is there some way to install all the drivers I need from some site so I do not have to re-install all the software over again? We all know how long it takes to Install Office Pro 2007!! Not to mention photoshop, the other adobe products I have as well as every thing else on the drive.
I have been very please with the assistance I have received on the Dell Forum. Thank you!!

If I understand you right though, you're looking to make a quick install CD of windows, the drivers and your programs. If that's what you want, I'd recommend using Symantec/Norton Ghost to take an image of your system after you've installed everything and gotten it just right - it's proprietary software (not free) but it's the best one I've used for that purpose.
One of the things Microsoft actually did right with Vista was build that kind of functionality into it by default - if you've got Premium or better, that is.
