Before commenting, read this:
I recieved a lot of feedback from people, with various different options. These are the plans I have:
-Google some information about the hardware that's installed.
-Mail Dell asking if they can send the correct drivers.
-Try out various other drivers listed on the page if I do not recieve the drivers from Dell.
If that doesn't work, I will install Ubuntu, just to be done with this endless discussion. Ubuntu can easily install these drivere via Terminal, but I also recieved backlash from people telling me to install Windows 7. For the record, installing Windows 7 does not fix any driver issues, in fact, it doesn't fix anything at all. It came with Windows XP from the factory, and that's what I'm trying to do here. That's how restoration works.
I will try my best to give updates through my busy days. If people come here to start endless discussions about OS'es, please leave. Once these issues have been fixed with the laptop, a post edit will be made for future reference and the thread will be locked to avoid further frustration.
Alright, gonna give these updates soon!

So I recently decided to restore an old Dell my family has. It had a ton of virusses and some private stuff, so I took that off. I then tried my best to find a proper Windows XP Professional iso in Dutch and Service Pack 3 (which I didn't find but it has to do) but I just can't find any of the drivers after that.
I never backed them up, thinking they weren't required.
This is all I could find: https://www.dell.com/support/home/nl/nl/nlbsdt1/product-support/product/latitude-d630/drivers
If someone can help me searching some sound drivers, network drivers, screen drivers (the screen resolution is not correct and doesnt go any higher) and some other drivers that I probably need for my Dell Latitude D630, then feel free to help me!
