Hi All,

(preface: I have exp switching out hardware, upgradings software and configuring BIOS)

In the past, I've just ordered my computers from Dell and the like and upgraded hardware as I went on. Seeing limitations here, I chose this time to build my own computer. So far, most of the parts have arrived and just waiting for Vista and the motherboard.

Having never done it from the ground up:

Once all the hardware is installed, is this as simple as setting the DVD to be primary boot in BIOS and putting the Vista DVD in the drive?

In past upgrades/formats of new harddisks, I needed a boot disk with CD drivers yet I've seen no Vista boot disks out there.
