What order should I load them. Someone please help

kbetsy34,

Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.

You first need to install the Windows XP followed by the service pak 2. After you have loaded them you can install the drivers cd. Install the chipset drivers before installing any other drivers. You can then load the video, sound,network,modem. After the drivers are all loaded you can then load the software.

Try Contacting Dell for the XP reinstallation disk.

You will find it's best to call Dell.

kbetsy34,   I think everyone is misreading your post.... or I am. It looks like you said you have the XP reinstall disk that INCLUDES sp2. If that is correct then you should have what you need. What you'd be installing is XP with SP2. You wouldn't load XP, then SP2. It happens at the same time.
