reformat question

I am planning on reformatting my computer and have a few questions. This is the only CD that I have, I do not have any recovery disk or anything like that. Is it possible to do a reformat with just this CD? I saw on the CD that it does not include any drivers, so I will need to get those from somewhere in order for the drivers to be installed. I went to the Dell website and typed in my service tag and all the drivers popped up for my computer. Do I simply save those to a disc and load them once i reinstall windows? Or is there an easier, better way to do this? Do i need all the drivers listed or are there only a few i need? Sorry if this has been discussed before...I tried searching and could not find my specific question. Let me know if any more info is needed.

Windows XP with SP3
Computer Model no. is Inspiron E1505

Basically everything you said is correct. Should you have any issues along the way, just post back.
 
I read somewhere that there is a specific order drivers need to be installed in order to work correctly. Do you have any helpful info about that?

Thanks again
