Alright, heres the deal: My buddy has a prebuild computer (compaq i think) and needs to reformat. I can install windows with my disc and let her use her serial code... my problem is, how would i go about installing the drivers for motherboard, integrated graphics, etc after installing the computer?

Is their a site with all the needed drivers?

Most likely you can download all the drivers from the manufacturers site, the only problem you may come across is not knowing the exact components used so you may have to try several drivers.

Personally I've never had a problem to get everything to work (HP Omnibook, Dell PC, Compaq PC), but I would suggest downloading just about all the drivers and burn them to CD, once you know a driver is working write it down so you won't have to try tons of drivers the next time (Or burn a new CD with all the right drivers).
