Upgrading Hard Drive on a DELL

Upgrading Hard Drive on a DELL

I'm helping a friend of mine replace her harddrive for a Dell she has at her business, her old drive crashed. I have succesfully replaced the drive, formatted, and installed Windows XP on the Dell. But now all the images on the display are HUGE, and im pretty sure this is because I have to re-install the drivers for her DELL. She cannot find her Install Disks and we cannot access the internet with her machine. So my question is: Can I download the necessary drivers with my Mac to a thumb drive and then install on her machine?

"There shouldn't be any problem with saving the drivers straight to a thumb drive and installing them from there.

You can identify your laptop and download appropriate drivers here."

Yes, that will work. I've done it before with the same system. Just grab the drivers from Matt's link.

Dell's website has a driver identification feature which will tell you which drivers need to be downloaded and updated. It's at Dell's website under the Support tab.
