i recently found out that you could reinstall your OS without needing the CD’s on a dell.  this system is embed to almost all dell laptops for sure.  it uses norton ghost in order to restore your system to the way it was at the beginning.  i am not a 100% sure if reinstalls the drivers, but it might.

  1. turn on your laptop
  2. quickly hit ctrl+F11 before “windows boots up”
  3. then follow the instructions in order to reinstall and fully format your pc
