I think thats the same model we had at work. I tried to get XP Pro working on it, after 4+ hours and building a bunch of custom cd's, I gave up. I ended up using the CD that came with the laptop, and restored it back to Vista. Best to just use the CD that came with it. And download the drivers from the toshiba website on to a thumb drive. As for order of which to install first, not really an issue now days, but chip set should be first. -- Trevor
