Is it necessarily to download the OEM driver if I'm installing a Window XP using a CD which is an OEM version only?

Driver for what exactly?If it's a recovery CD, all the drivers you need will be on it. If it's a Windows XP setup CD, it depends what your hardware is. The XP CD can detect and install drivers for most standard hardware (including motherboard chipsets) but there are exceptions. Only third-party driver I have to install after re-installing Windows XP is the one for the soundcard cos it's a 'special'. Everything else is recognised and set up by Windows own drivers. You won't know what drivers you need to get till you do a full re-install.
