hey, i have a dell inspiron 6000, and my hd puked so i reinstalled xp pro. dell decides not to include driver disks yadda yadda, i went to dell support, input my express service tag, yadda yadda, downloaded the drivers on my second pc, burned them to a disk, (really boring typing this all again) and now i can't get my inspiron to recognize the files as drivers. i have no ethernet, network controller, vga controller, sound controller et al. from dell there are 2 options for download, an iso image, and the actual driver. tried both to no avail.

if anyone could point me in the right direction, i guess my issue is once i download the files, and burn them to a disk, put them on my inspiron, how do i install them in a way the add new hardware wizard will recognize them as drivers??

hope this is enough info
