Default First time install WIN XP home ed.

Hi Folks, well I am finally ready to to install my new motherboard and windows xp
Before I start I have a couple of questions for you pros.
What software do I install first? The win xp disc or the disc that came with my motherboard?
Should I install the win xp service disc2?

If your not using SATA drives, yes boot to your xp disc, If you have SATA drives you must have them on a floppy, at the begining it will say press F-6 for third party drivers press it and just follow the instructions.
