I just reinstalled XP from the original CD on my Dell D620. For some reason, most of the drivers did not install, and this on the second attempt. When I go to Dell's site, they will only download the drivers to the original computer, which would be sweet if I could get this one online. How can I get at least the network driver to install from a usb drive?
 
Really you can not download the driver onto another computer. That is the dumbest thing I have heard of.

You can get the motherboard model number and search the internet and try to find what chipset it is using and hope to get a working driver.

Or you can use a usb wifi stick or pci wired or wireless card to give you internet access so that you can download the drivers
