Answer 1

You might be able to download the drivers that you need, but you will surely get flagged by Microsoft's WGA. You cannot register two copies of the same licensed Windows OS.

Your Dell computer may have a partition on the hard drive with the operating system files on it. Check it out at Dell's website.  

Answer 2

download the drivers for your network adapter or wireless adapter from dells website.
