Driver.cab not installed during xp installation

While installing windows xp( formatted the existing Server2003 software), i faced prorblem in installing the driver.cab(at 11% status of installation process). I encountered this twice, and on the third attempt, i skipped this step and proceeded with the installation process. though apparently OS seems to be working fine, is it going to affect the OS in anyway?

hardware details: Acer laptop, celeron processor, 1gb RAM,
