Second hand Latitude 3400, formatted the whole disk to reinstall XP. Many hardware devices have no drivers (inc ethernet and wi fi so I can't get it online).

Try to download necessary drivers with a different computer (mac), but can't due the site requiring you run a system check program.

Is there anyway I can get the driver files.

Or failing that, just get the Dell online to get the other drivers itself.

Try opening up your dell and finding out the model number of your motherboard and then going on the motherboard manufacturer website on your mac to download those drivers and put them on a flash drive. That should get the ports to work and then you'll be able to download the rest of the stuff through your dell.
