    Well, you will have to acquire all of those drivers again, using another computer possibly, and then reinstall them all. You might try doing a system repair first to see if you can at least get back the original drivers that the system came with?

    Nforce drivers modified drivers are for your graphic cards. It is unlikely that they would be available with your install DVD. Nonetheless, you should be able to download them again.

    Eh, your drivers DVD should include the default video drivers, however, the Nforce drivers should be drivers that you downloaded upgraded to after installation. If you update the video drivers through Windows update, it would probably be Nvidia's default drivers.
