I totally agree with Art Ellison, just one tip more trying to help you. You can go at this official link from Dell and download all the drivers you need. I suppose that your new op. system (after formatting) is windows XP. This is because officially your laptop is not supported by win7. If this is your case the things are a bit more complicated. Post me back with any news.

When you reformat a hard drive, you lose everything. Then you reload the O/S, but drivers from the manufacturer are not included with Windows.
So--in your case, visit support.dell.com and look for your laptop model by service tag # or my model. That will take you to the page where you can download the drivers you need. Suggestion: Get the ethernet driver first, install it, and then you can go online with that computer to get the rest. That will save you time.
