I have a new hardrive in my Dell 8200 laptop and need to install XP Pro from the Dell reinstall disk that come with the computer. It states "This CD is not for reinstallation of programs or drivers". Not concerned with the programs of course, but what about the drivers? Thought they were included with the OS installation. Should I go ahead with the installation and get the drivers off the net...or what?
