Chapter 4: Drivers & Utilities

Overview

This chapter deals with installing the drivers and utilities essential to the operation or improvement of some of the computer’s subsystems. The system takes advantage of some newer hardware compo- nents for which the latest versions of most available operating systems haven’t built in drivers and utili- ties. Thus, some of the system components won’t be auto-configured with an appropriate driver or utility during operating system installation. Instead, you need to manually install some system-required drivers and utilities. This chapter covers driver and utility installation instructions for Windows XP (Professional & Home).
