I can tell you the things I install immediately after a format.

- GFX card drivers,
- Wireless card drivers
- Soundcard drivers,
- Motherboard drivers (Sometimes)

Once you've got XP installed, those are the "main" drivers you need to do things I guess.

Ok thanks!

Motherboard drivers, shall i include this just in case?

but these are the main things, if i already got a CD on such things such as soundcard i should use this... if not is there a certain website to download these drivers that i can download straight onto a CD?

Thanks

If you know who makes your soundcard for example, you can just go to the website and download the drivers once you've formatted. You could put them onto a disk if you wanted too but it's just something else to get lost in a desk drawer. :P

I wouldn't worry about motherboard drivers too much. As long as your motherboard is fairly new then you don't really have to bother, as the motherboard drivers are mainly for features of the motherboard and nothing more.

Anything you don't have a driver disk for can be found online. I see you have a wireless card. Just make sure you have the disk for that and then you can download anything you need after the format.

LAN, then download everything when ur online. Or use nLite to intergrate the drivers into the install disc and have them install at the last stages of the windows installation.

I dont really need to explain it, just get the correct drivers. (Are you allready on Xp? test them). For the likes of the nvidia drivers installers, run the exe, and it extracts to c:/nvidia/version just point nlite to that folder, not the exe.

Its not too difficult. Its all GUI stuff.
