Device Drivers in Fedora 18

[Alan Findly]

Dear users,
   I am on the verge of a rather thorough hardware upgrade, ie. 
motherboard/cpu, and in addition want to migrate from XP 32 to Fedora 18 
64.  So, now it occurs to me that all the drivers from Windoze will be 
gone--are there drivers in the Fedora CD package, or will I have to hunt 
them down?  Actually, there may be a more basic driver issue--namely, 
running the CD player itself: the driver won't be loaded yet.  Is this a 
problem?  I also have an ISO image on USB, if needed.
   Thanks for any info.
