Thread Starter 
I did this because I hate .exe driver installations for my XPS Gen 2. It clogs the system with extra files, for no reason. The process is simple.
1. Install your Windows XP.
2. Open your device manager.
3. Right-click on each unrecognized hardware and select Update Driver.
4. Select the apropriate folder.

Download file:
http://www.savefile.com/files/8719425

XPS Gen 2 Driver Contents:
- audio
- bluetooth (not tested yet, using the default XP SP2 ones)
- ethernet
- modem
- video (NVIDIA Dell original)
- wifi (2915)

This download will be deleted in 15 days, from the moment there is no more download activity.
If anyone can mirror it, it will be apreciated.

I dont know if a lot of peeps will grab this because you can unpack the files yourself also.
And if they grab them from the Dell site you are 100% sure that they are original and not edited.
Not saying that you did anything with them though, i made my own install folder with the unpacked files.

Let me just get back to my computer where my FTP is setup.

I would like to put it on my new site I'm starting up... http://extremelaptopguide.com. But the link you gave is timing out.
I'm trying to collect all the good info I can find on optimizing the Gen 2 and 9300 in one spot. Still a work in progress.

Something is wrong with their site, I was downloading the file yesterday at 350k/sec.
Wait a little.

Yes, I would really like to have access to those files as well. I hate all the bloatware on Dell's systems. If you can get those files up, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would appreciate it! =)
