Quick question on reinstalling drivers.

motc7 · Sep 8, 2010

I got a Dell Inspiron Lappy 5150 at home with XP on it that someone gave me. I had to do a repair on XP due to it not starting right, and then I noticed that I needed to install some drivers for the network card, etc.

I downloaded those onto a USB, but when I tried to install them, it said "Unable to open...."

After awhile I noticed that my XP install was on the D: drive and that the C: drive was an unformatted partition.

Is it possible that it couldn't install due to it looking for the C drive, but not seeing it?

I can't help with your C and D drive problem but I will point this out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lundell_Settlement
Make sure all the problems are fixed before you spend much time on an Inspiron 5150.
