Trying to teach myself how to do things for myself. I have installed a new hard drive in my dell computer. I have the operating system cd as well as the driver and utilities cd which came with the computer. Here are my questions:
1. Do I have to format the drive before I install the OS or drivers?
2. Which do I install first - the OS or the drivers?
I am fixing this computer for my mother and unfortunately she only as dial up. After I add the modem is there anything else I need to do to "activate" so that it works?
Thank you in advance for your help.
