[raystevens73]

Windows will do a generic drivers for it

The last time i had to install a driver for an optical drive was in MS-DOS and that was over twenty years ago.

As said, use the Windows disc to install Windows. Disregard the other discs(unless you need to install the Wi-Fi drivers for an initial internet connection) and install drivers for the motherboard off of the motherboard manufacturer's website.

Disc drives typically don't need special drivers that your OS doesn't already provides.

what about my optical drive

[chiefputsilao]

optical drive is plug and play... meaning once it is attached to your motherboard via sata or usb, it will already be functional...

so i dont use the disc my optical drive came with?

[rotNdude]

Look at it this way. If the optical drive doesn't get recognized by Windows, then the drive won't work and that CD/DVD that came with the drive won't work in that drive anyhow. I think others have told you that you won't need it and I agree with that.

There may be some utilities on it that may be nice.

probably the disc is bundled with some goodies such as free nero essentials, old adobe reader, etc...

why don't you find out? turn on pc, logon to windows, insert dvd, and see its contents.
