compatibility of cd installation disc?

[jimakros]

Hi

someone gave me the desktop board

Intel D865GBF with P4chip

and it had some problem,i sent  to service and after some time they gave me a  replacement  board .

Intel D865perl

They seem identical only with minor differences,one less PCI etc..
The thing is i dont have an installation disc for this board.I have the original disc for the first board,do you think it will work the same or i have to look for drivers?
 On the disc i have, it says ONLY IntelD 865 GBF and GLC.
But there are other models of same chip.What kind of stuff is important on these discs?The reason i ask is if it doesnt work i wont spend to buy some other stuff i also need to build a computer work.Or is it easy to find drivers for this board,so i can go on and build the thing?

thank you for your help.i'll use these files and i hope it works.

there is one file,
 
QFE for serial ATA,

 that one has to get from SP2.
Do you know how i can get this file without installing SP2?i tried installing SP2once and i had problems.

You need to have SP2...if you had problems before it's probably due to incorrect drivers.

DLoad and install SP2.
Then DLoad and install the correct MBoard drivers the link points to.
Do this after dis-connecting from the web temporarily with your anti virus program de-activated.

Re-boot and re-connect to the web and DLoad all the critical MS updates and restart your AV protection.

Good Luck.

thanks again for your help.I bought a used P4 2.8 chip and fortunately it all works fine!!!!It all cost me 120$.I'm happy with the results.Only i may buy
a newer graphics card the one i  got is geforce MX440.But  a friend who sold me most of the stuff says i wont see any difference with a better card due to the processor.
