The manufacturer sites of all your hardware.
And no... Windows will not stop if you don't have drivers. Windows installs what are called native drivers (generic drivers already included on your computer) for most of your hardware to allow it to run properly. For best performance, however, you should install drivers from the manufacturer site.
The only things INSIDE your system that may not work are your sound card - everything else should have native drivers, including your display adapter.

Manufacturer's websites.
If it's a dell, you can enter the service tag and get a list of drivers, if you're lucky. Last night, I tried that and the tag gave me a different model laptop and I really had to hunt for the drivers.
For oddball machines you may have to open the box and get the make/model of the motherboard & go to that site. Same for the video & audio, if they're not on the motherboard. For video, getting the chipset might be enough.
Have fun. Expect to spend a day getting everything working again.

you must have drivers. when windows xp installs and sees there is no drives it will suddenly stop and wont let you continue. but if you mean things like for your motherboard and graphics card you have to go the the manufacturers website to download them.

Best way is to download latest drivers for each component from manufacturers web site.

regrettably your project is a hardware subject and not a application one. for this reason you won't be able to easily acquire some thing to restoration it. in case you have a pc laptop, you will desire to bodily flow out and purchase a sparkling video card and positioned it on your laptop. in case you have a working laptop or laptop, you will would desire to purchase an fullyyt new laptop via fact you won't be able to enhance the video card on a working laptop or laptop.

Windows should detect your hardware and install it in most cases and the drivers are mostly on windows. Others are on accompanying software.
