Read the thread linked in my sig. and the articles linked in that thread. They should tell you just about all you need to know!

The articles relate to installing Windows 200, but the preparation is basically the same, the installation procedures are pretty mucch the same, and yes, you should download your drivers first, and preferably save them to CD.
