yarly, you would need your montiors drivers & your gfx card drivers seperately though

Or at least that's how my old xp was. do the installation disc first then the driver disk. that is if you're wanting to restore your pc and erase everything.

Yea you gotta do all the security updates that were released before sp3, then you gotta install sp3, then all the updates for sp3
Updates first, Old files second, Programs third
(Install new versions of your old programs not old ones, Registry will need to be added lol)
