Hi
If you haven't got a CDW or another partition to save files to, then they
will have to go onto floppies, but how many, will depend on the size and
number. XP should install generic drivers for your hardware. You can then
go to the appropriate manufacturers' web sites after the installation
instead of using the MS drivers via Windows Update.
