Default Want to change to windows 98se without using the custom made CD but need specific drivers

Hi,
I have an older Compaq Presario desktop machine. It came with windows
98 on the restore CD that came with it. I also have an OEM (?) windows
98 SE CD disk that came with a locally built computer by a small
independent store. It also had other CD s with the drivers for the
sound card and video and modem in it so I do not think it was specially
burnt for the model configuration they built like the Compaq machine'
restore CD. If I run fdisk from a floppy and then use the win 98 se CD
to get a system on the drive could I then use the original CD in order
to get the drivers needed for the specific components in the Compaq?
Using the add new hardware could I navigate to that drive letter the CD
is in and would it find the proper driver for the specific modem, sound
card and video card? Or do I need to go to the web and download all the
drivers I will need that is if they are still available?
Thank you.
