From: Davej on 3 Nov 2009 15:23 Have a Dell laptop that is acting a little odd. After installing the OS and everything I learn that the drivers are supposed to be installed in a particular order. Has anyone dealt with this issue? Thanks.

You normally install motherboard drivers, video drivers, LAN drivers, and any other built in device driver first, generally in that order. If you are installing SCSI drivers you do that before you install the OS (XP and earlier). And if you must choose between Legacy IDE mode or SATA mode you need to do that before you load the OS too. More detailed explanation of the issue would be helpful in getting intelligent responses.

Well, the question is -- how can you look at a system and tell if the drivers have been installed in the correct order -- and if they weren't -- how would you fix that without a complete format and start over?
