What order to install drivers in?

[giambi77]

I'm going to re-install Windows2000 Professional on my computer, and i want to know the best order to install the following drivers:

-"Motherboard" drivers - CD that came with my iWill KK266-R
-I just downloaded the most recent detonator drivers (21.83) for my GeForce2 GTS
-I also downloaded the newest drivers (3.02) for my Hercules GTXP to use with my Logitech z560's
-I have to install the software from my Plextor 16/10/40

Basically, I'm just trying to get the order down. Also, I haven't updated anything on my motherboard yet. Should I flash it? Is there anything I should download for it?

If it matters at all, here is my current rig:
-Antec SX1030B w/ 300watt Antec PSU
-Duron700 (VERY soon to be an XP 1600-1900+)
-iWill KK266-R
-25gb Maxtor HD
-OCZ GeForce2 GTS
-Hercules Game Theatre XP
-Logitech z560 4.1 system
-ELSA 56k Modem
-Netgear 10/100 NIC
-Plextor 16/10/40
-Some random 50x CD-ROM
-Some black floppy


Any comments/suggestions/ideas/etc. would be MUCH appreciated!!!

in terms of windows update, download the latest version of internet explorer first before you do critical updates and what not. this is to prevent the downloading of critical updates of an older IE that you wont use anyways after the upgrade.

Thanks for some info, but I was mostly interested about driver related issues. Anyone???

Personally I load them in order of importance. MB, VC, SC, Mouse. After that I don't think it really matters.

From Iwill's site:

Go here: W2k install
