Installing XP again whats is the best order for drivers ?

[Scottie]

I'm not to sure if this matters but what is the best order to install the OS and video Drivers and Direct X and SP2 ?

I normally install Video Drivers, then Direct X, and then SP2 is this the best way ??

Thanks.

It really doesn't matter what order you use.

Best way and most reliable for me

OS
Chipset (motherboard) drivers
Video drivers
Audio drivers
LAN card drivers
miscellaneous card drivers
Service Paks and hot fixes

Ghost

Save for the next time I want a clean install

I've never found it to matter which order, especially since I've made an XP w/ SP2 slipstreamed install disc

My order is:
OS
Drivers in the order they appear in the Device Manager
Windows Update
