I reformatted my Tecra 8100 and used a regular old Windows 98SE CD for the install. Then later I reformatted again and installed Windows 2000 using another retail CD. Whoever had trouble must have done something wrong... As for the drivers, I think the only ones I ended up downloading and installing were the sound and video ones, all the extra utilities and such are not necessary.
