    Don't use driver magician, you don't need it. Just go to dells website and download all the drivers you need for your computer and burn them to a disk prior to the reinstall of xp.

    If your laptop is licensed for XP pro (which it probably is) then you can use that xp pro disk you have from your desktop to reinstall xp on your laptop.
