basically had a pc dropped to me to fix there was no OS so i have stuck my old copy of XP on there and thats gone fine

only problem is the Enet/GFX and mobo drivers dont appear to have been installed by XP

i dont have any disks or manuals so basically is there an app that will tell me what drivers i would need

Several I can think of:

CPU-Z
BeLarc Advisor

and others.

But, why can you not just open the case and see what the motherboard make and model is? Then, check online for links to the drivers?
