how to know if a motherboard driver CD belongs to a certain PC?

Question

my friend wants to format his system, and doesn't know where the driver CD is. we managed to find a CD that says Zebronics on it, and inside its got all the drivers, but no autorun file.
the problem is the motherboard seems to be made by NEC, (checked by sandra and other software)

i did try to install one or two drivers from the CD, but i'm still not sure that the CD belongs to that motherboard.

Any suggestions?
Pls reply fast! got a few hrs....

Answer 1

the motherboard drivers have to be installed BEFORE the operating system is installed, not after. if you moved an existing hdd from a previous box and are trying to boot from that -- the drivers already on that hdd are wrong for the new mobo. if i've figured this out [is this what you're trying to do?] send email to the help desk at the mobo maker and ask them how to install the drivers to any existing hdd and operating system -- after that, you'll likely need to repair the o/s [and be prepared -- they may tell you that it isn't possible and that you have to install the drivers clean to an unformated hdd and then do a clean install of your operating system].
