    After reinstallation of drivers on my Dell Inspiron E1705 after a reformat, im getting a yellow question mark next to :
    OTHER DEVICES:
    1.Base System Device
    2.Base System Device
    3. Base System Device
    4.Network Controller
    5.Video Controller (VGA Compatible)

    as in drivers are not installed.It seems the driver cd doesnt have model specific drivers and by default the cd installs drivers meant for some other model.

    Please help!!
