A friend ask me to reinstall his windows tonight, no problem there. Except its a DIY machine and I have no idea what parts he has in it so no idea what drivers to use. I've reinstalled windows on my machine loads of time but i know and have the drivers ready for all the components.

What would you do in my shoes?

Reinstall windows ? It'll boot up in 16 colours and then what do I do?

I can run CPU-Z to find out the mobo, how do i know graphics card, sound card, NIC without taking it apart and take photos and ask you guys?
