reinstall windows question

[GJ02]

Hi Guys
I have to reinstall windows XP for my mother inlaw on her old AMD athlon computer.
Thing is I cant find any of the disks that it was supplied with.
If i Use Vista, will it find most of the stuff without requiring drivers ?
I can get AC97 and nvidia drivers no probs, its just the rest of the stuff

will it still be ok even if i still use xp ?
