When you initially install Vista you are asked if there are additional drivers you need to install. At that point you put in the CD that came with your motherboard and contain the chipset drivers etc. Once that is done, you can proceed with your installation. The motherboard chipset drivers are typically necessary for your installation but the video drivers can usually be installed after Vista is up and running... But, you may want to create your own drivers cd first |
