What exactly is "disk drive for cpu"?
DVD device? DVD disk?

Generally you have to install:
  • chipset drivers for your motherboard;
    lan driver;
    audio driver;
    gpu driver.
First 3 - you download from motherboard manufacturer site.
GPU driver you download from gpu manufacturer web site (amd or nvidia).

oh i meant the disk you get with the cpu, not sure exactly what thats called. thanks for the help

 

Then I have to ask - what do you call "cpu"? Because cpus don't come bundled with any disks.
CPU is this little piece of tech:
