I know that feeling.
You don't need any drivers for the (SATA) drive.
Remove the plastic. I believe it's there to protect the heatsink from
scratches. Most heatsinks require the use of thermal compund.
There is a heatsink install guide here:

Guides are available for every procedure; just Google anything you want to
now more about, or post additional questions.
Take your time, review each step as you go, and you'll be up and running
soon.



Hello to all.
Today I received most of the parts for my first time computer build. I still
have a few questions. I bought an OEM  Seagate SETA hard dirve that came
with no documentation. Do I need drivers for this hard drive? If so, where
do I get them? I also bought an AMD AM2 retail processor. It comes with a
heat sink and fan. I noticed that on the heat sink there is a plastic sheet
where it sits on the CPU. Must this plastic be removed? I am quite nervous,
hoping I wont wind up with an expensive pile of junk.

Thanks in Advance

Daniel
