Pat,
Your friend may already have the basic drivers on either that same
recovery disk or on a second one that came with the computer. Jo Ann is
right in that he will need the most recently released versions of these to
optimize the system, but the basic ones will at least get him up and running
so he can get online to get them himself (although he may still need help in
learning how to find & install them).
The most important of these drivers (at least for his internet
connection and USB device access) are the Ethernet and chipset drivers.
Since he has a high speed connection, the Ethernet driver will activate his
connection to the external modem or network while the chipset drivers turn
on all sorts of features on his mainboard (the USB ports, for example).
Most times, these drivers are not individually labeled on a recovery disk
set, so that info is not going to tell him much. My description is only
meant to help you understand better why they are needed.
Peace,
GMan
The only dumb questions are the ones we fail to ask.
