I was given a Dell Insprion b130 laptop that has no drivers (thus no internet access) after the previous owner reinstalled the operating system...

The previous owner is an Physiologist and told me he had no idea what he was trying to do. LOL. He ended up buying a new laptop.

Looking into the system it appears he wiped everything off the hard drive as he installed from a cd.

So I am unable to use wireless or rj45 to go online to download drivers.  This Dell has Windows XP Professional.

I have a Toshiba Windows7 laptop.  How should I go about obtaining drivers and getting them into the Inspiron b130?

Will the b130 recognize and read the drivers from a usb,cd or dvd if I download them from Dell?

Or do I need to order a recovery disk from somewhere?

Or was I given a paperweight? I was interested in having the xp laptop as a first computer for my 5 year old twins.

Any step by step advice would be appreciated since I am no genius either. 

Thank you.
