If I no longer have a browser on my computer, how will I be able to log onto the internet to download a browser?
Browser is on it.

Have the NIC driver handy. Install windows, then the NIC driver. Go online and do the windows updates. First thing is SP 2. Then you can download all the Windows updates. Do the custom install and it will download any drivers, such as sound and video, at the same time provided they have them. If not you can always download them from the manufacturer's site when you're done.

That's it.. All there is to it.
