I have a Gateway with Windows XP Media Center installed.
I want to completely vaporize the Media Center OS and install a brand new
installation of Windows XP Home from a newly purchased full XP Home disk.
This way I get an OS without a lot of manufacturers garbage.
Will the new XP Home installation disk scan my computer and automatically
download necessary drivers or do I have to do that manually??
I've never done this before and have been studying/searching forums and
such. I think I understand everything, except where the new drivers will
come from. I will not be using the Gateway Recovery System.
