851231 2010-01-24 03:38:00 We have a PC that was built by a local company (Ultra) a few years ago and I am going to re-install XP onto it, but I am aware I will need to download the drivers again. Is there a program I can run that will give me a list of things like hard drives / sound card / video card etc and anything else I might need to make finding the drivers easier? georgenz (11379)

Take the side off and look at the motherboard model number.
Etc.

851236 2010-01-24 05:30:00 Not sure but I take it that you have XP installed already as you say re-install.

Do you currently have an operating system installed?
