Depends on exactly what install disk you're using. The OEM disks are usually dirt simple. At most, you have to install drivers from a second disk. But even retail versions, so long as you
have the drivers for hardware newer than the install disk, I don't get why people have so much trouble. The only issues I've ever had, from 98 on, was when I don't have a driver handy for a (built-in) network card. And that can be solved by throwing in a second card long enough to download drivers for the first one. Once you're online, all the world is at your fingertips, provided your hardware isn't so old that nobod ever bothered to write drivers for newer versions of Windows.
