OK so i got everything all set on my computer or so i thought and a lot of the stuff that was origionally on my computer isn't anymore. All the stuff that Dell had on my computer isn't on there anymore does anyone know why this is?

What stuff are you refrerring to? Your documents, or somthing from dell like dell programs, dell support? Or what? If you formated your harddirve. Then it is pretty much impossible to recover anything.

It turns out i'm an idiot and all i had to do was install drivers from my disk that came with the computer, i found that out after going through the dell website.

Cool, glad you go it worked out. You can mark your thread as solved Its at the top somewhere ;).
