    I just purchased a refurbished Dell XPS 15 L521X notebook PC from an eBay seller. It came with a re-install disk for its Windows 7 Home Premium OS, but no re-install disk for drivers and utilities. The PC has a Dell warranty valid through end of December 2014. What's the most efficient method(s) for identifying the system's drivers and producing a re-install disk of said drivers? Since this PC has a Dell warranty, will Dell provide a re-install disk of the PC's drivers on request? I've also seen advertised a utility called SlimDrivers for identifying and downloading a PC's updated drivers. To anyone who has used SlimDrivers, does it work and how well?

    Thanks for reading and any information and advice.
