 Plus I'm finding out, restoring to original format, like I just did for my friends tonight isn't working... his drives aren't loading properly from the factory discs given to him for his shitty Dell.

 Finding and patching software is incredibly easy.. Don't let that stop you.. Uh.. I don't support it.. but fuck.. it's not like yer going to go pay for it anyways.. shit costs like $5k
Dells are shitty but they have great support finding drivers is easy..
How old is the dell? is it old enuff that it doesn't have a Service ID Tag on the back? You can enter that tag id into Dell's website and it will show you all the info on that system including drivers.. 
Google google google..
