Hello there.
You can find WinXP drivers here:

http://www.a2zdrivers.co.cc/2011/04/dell-inspiron-n5010-xp-drivers.html

I don't suggest you to install OS on your laptop, because N5010 is not designed for XP, and you may have problems.

I hope I was helpfull.

Sincerely,
Steve TM

To get the correct drivers for your Dell Inspiron n5010 I suggest you go to the link below. This is the Dell Driver download page. You'll notice that you have 3 options for getting the correct drivers for your computer. The best option is to enter your "Service Tag" number. Usually this is located on the bottom of your computer.

screen display on my
Dell Inspiron 1545 with MS XP OS-
Then I ran diagnostics and got this
result- "DST short Test-Failed-Error
code-2000-0151 Error message:
Hard Drive 1-incorrect staus 3E. Please help fix this problem. Thanks

you will have to reinstall the drivers and the sofware in your Dell. I think since the touch pad is not working if you use the cursor keys and proceed to the control panel and try to restore the laptop, then if this will reset to an earlier date, then it will solve the issue.
try this out and check to reinstall drivers. hope this helps. Good day
