All drivers gone...

Hi

I just formatted my entire harddrive on my dell laptop (Inspiron 9300), and reinstalled windows xp professional. Windows seems to be working well except that all the drivers seem to be missing/lost?! In device manager, the following devices have yellow question/exclamation marks next to them:

Ethernet controller,
Multimedia Audio Controller
Network Controller
PCI device
PCE modem
SM Bus controller
USB controller
Video Controller (VGA Compatible)

I have no internet connectivity, and windows wont even let me search for a wireless network (let alone recognise that my laptop has the ability to...)

I am totally confused and have no idea what to do, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Many Thanks
