If you know someone with a similar Dell computer, you can copy their driver disk, otherwise you'll need to contact Dell support and order a replacement set (usually a modest charge for the CD's and shipping). If you are just looking for the drivers and not the Operating System Restore disk, go to the Dell site (www.dell.com) and go to support, put in the service tag number (located on your dell computer) and you can download the drivers there.

The usual means of installing the operating system on a new hard drive is by using the Dell Windows XP reinstallation CD (or whichever operating system you had ebfore). If you do not have one, the only chance of getting one is by contacting Dell Tech Support for your region. It may not be free, but if you never received the CD due to Dell's media reduction initiative (and tell this to the representative) they may send you one.

Getting a copy of the operating System cd for Dell Inspiron 6000

Dell not being provided with system operating disk aka Windows nor drivers disk needed for their systems. This always poses a problem when these people are advised to do a repair install or other system repair, only to discover that they have no disks. The normal solution recommended is to contact Dell support and ask for the disks. Dell has a support site where you can order disks for your system as well as other important links to updated drivers. On the site Dell states:
Dell Customers can now request a set of backup discs containing the factory-installed operating system as well as the device drivers and utilities specific to your system.
Requests are limited to one (1) set of backup discs per system purchased.
The backup discs requested must match the operating system that was factory installed on the original order.
Please note that Dell will provide you the most up to date Resource disc available, containing the latest drivers and diagnostic tools currently being shipped on new systems. Due to the frequent updates, this Resource disc may not have all the drivers needed for your specific system, especially if it is over one (1) year old.
Complete details here.

Good Luck / Please dont for get to Vote.Thank you.
