All these CD-Roms after XP Install-- do i use??

[PrineFan]

I just finished building my first system--

I have all these CD-Roms from the hardware i purchased-- the motherboard, the DVD-ROM, the CD-Writer, the AGP video card..... anyway, once i got the computer put together, I went to bios and about the only thing there that I changed was to make the first boot device to CD-ROM since that was what windows XP was on, then I hit reset, and then windows XP was installed.

After it was installed, i went back to bios and made the hard drive the first boot device (I assume that's correct, let me know if it isn't).

Anyway, it seems to be working---but what do i do with all these CD-ROMS that came with the motherboard, the dvd-rom, the cd-writer, the video card? I have about 4 or 5 CD-ROMS in the boxes the hardware devices came in and i'm not sure-- do i just store them, or does anything have to be loaded? even have a cd-rom for the network card i installed. I assume there's drivers on these CD-roms. By installing Windows XP, did they take care of all that???? Thanks

Hit start, then right click on my computer, properties. Select the hardware tab, then device manager. If you have any yellow "?" then that means you need to install the driver for that piece of hardware. More than likely XP installed all of the drivers for your system. In that case just tuck those CD's away.

XP installed every driver for me but my modem.

if all of your devices are working it should be ok, but if you have a DVD I think you have to load either a update to the media player or win dvd to play dvds, if you loaded win xp and the updates it should be fine. if you have any problem come back to this forum and im sure there will some one that will be glad to help you.
good luck
