Drive detection software !?

Sh3rlock · 10 Feb 2010 at 23:15

Evening all.

Ive been given a custom built computer for the local Air Cadet centre. It needed a new hard drive so that has been replaced and ive installed Windows XP. My only hurdle is, I haven't got a clue what's inside it and ive tried looking but cant seem to find branding on any of the parts.

My question is, is there a piece of software that i can install, that will find all the drivers for me ?

Thanks in advance.

I would have thought so, but i don't use one, i use a combination of device manager and physically looking in the case.

Programs such as driver detective and such i tend to steer clear of
