Getting an Alienware Aurora 7500 running again?

I've had an Alienware Aurora 7500 for a while now, but I had to wipe it clean, and re-install everything, so I got Windows XP running again, but the Alienware support CD that came with the computer does not work past the start-up page, so I am clueless on what software and drivers I need to re-install.

Its an Athlon 64x2dual core processor, And I don't know what video cards I have.

Thank you for any help!

Update:

I'm up to date on windows, and I'm typing this on the computer I'm trying to get working again, but I've tried getting the cd onto a usb drive, using other computers, and the computers wont do that. The problem that I'm facing is that I don't even know what drivers to get, I can update them once I have them.

    Do what the other guy says service pack 2 , then go to dell support and enter the service tag or model number. that way you will get the latest drivers. The ones on the disk will be mostly outdated. If you can't get online. Use other computer and download just the Ethernet driver. It should be under networking or something like that in the drivers section. But don't install just burn it to a disk. or a flashdrive. Then install that onto the alienware computer. That should get you on line.
