    Hiya. My boyfriend has a Dell Inspiron 1520 notebook, and we're reinstalling Windows on it because it's gotten really screwed up. He's currently running XP, but I have a disc for Vista Home Premium (32 bit) laying around so he figured he'd upgrade. Only problem is, Dell doesn't seem to have the drivers listed for Vista, so we're sort of at a loss as to where to get them. If anyone could point us in the right direction for which drivers to download that'd be great.

    Alternatively, Windows can fetch and install most of the necessary drivers automatically through Windows Update.
