XP Clean Install. Driver Concern

[Guest]

I'm about to do a clean install of XP, for which I've prepared very
carefully, with good advice provided by generous people from this forum. I
only have one question left, concerning drivers that should be installed
early on, as follows:

I'm led to believe that the only drivers I need to specifically install
right away, as soon as the Clean install is done (i.e., before I install SP 2
and before I reload my programs), are my motherboard (chipset) driver, my
Network Adapter Driver, and my audio and video card drivers. (I have these
drivers (setups) in a folder on my second drive and all ready to install when
the time comes). I'm told the rest of the drivers will look after themselves
and can be updated later. Is this correct? Or are there other drivers that
should be loaded right after the basic XP install so as to help make the rest
of the updating go smoothly?

Don, not to worry sounds like you got it covered. If you don't plan on
using a Raid Configuration or have a SATA Hard
Drive that might require drivers at the start of the Install you are doing
fine.
