    Some or All of them. It depends what hardwares you use...See the link below to see the list of XP built-in drivers.

    An XP installation will only install the most current drivers approved by Microsoft at the time XP was issued.  You may find that some of your drivers are available and work fine.  More esoteric (or new, or rare) hardware is less likely to be supported.

    When looking for updated drivers, always go to the manufacturer's site first, and follow the support links.
    Only able to visit the forums sporadically, sorry.

      How old is your computer, ie your hardwares? To download drivers from the net you must know the model of your parts.

        Don't get ahead of yourself, go & install XP and come back here if you have a problem.
