Do I need them?  Installation took a while and
seemed to fail the last time I tried it, and
they're on Disc #2 and the disc switch didn't go
seamlessly, and the machine seemed to work anyway.

What are they?

On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk.

If you have a newer computer that has a SATA DVD drive and you don't
have the drivers loaded initially, it will fail after the files are
loaded to disc within the 1st couple of minutes.
The drivers are for DVD and HDD serial interface. Older machine have
IDE optical and serial HDD and older still both are IDE or PATA.
If it works...you must be okay. Have you checked your Device Manager?
