Locating Drivers on the Dell site for a Windows Reinstall

How to locate and download the Drivers on Dell's Site
This is best done before the reinstallation if possible. Download the drivers and burn them to a disk or save to a USB flash drive. The quickest way to find your drivers would be to go to http://support.dell.com/ and click on the drivers link " I'm looking for Drivers and Downloads" and then enter your service tag.
Be sure to double check which version of Windows is displayed. The site gets this wrong sometimes.
Once you are on the correct page, the one showing driver categories, you will need to click the "+" symbols next to the categories to expand them and then you will see the links to click on to start your files downloading.
A guy on youtube put together a nice video showing how to do this:
