98/2: Names of hardware after a clean install (W98)

[vbgunz]

After a clean install and view at device manager (no conflicts) how do you find out the real name, manufacturer of your PC's hard drive, Recorder drive, etc if their are no conflicts but no unique drivers (just win98/2 drivers) for your hardware?

WinGuides is the best!
