There is, I suspect, an order for this install.
Pull everything off the comp that you want to keep and burn the monitor drivers to disk.
Reformat, install XP, load chipset drivers and now the big decision, do you load the graphics before the monitor or the monitor before the graphics ?
MY guess would be that you ignore XP's attempt to load it's own 800x600 generic graphics drivers and let the old 600x480 install.
Those are the basic SVGA graphics.
Then load the monitor drivers, the DX9b, then the rest of the graphics drivers.
I'm not sure why your comp lost the monitor drivers.
After you get them loaded create a restore point so that you can always return to them.
When all your device drivers are loaded create another restore point.
If it comes undone early, unistall and try another way, first graphics then monitor.
