Question Box is Built. taking the next step

The box is up and running, Now I'm wondering if I did it the "optimal way"
Here's the deal After initial power up test run . I Booted up from thw Win XP Pro C/D did a complete Install.
then went back and loaded individual Driver Cd's Video card, Printer , Scanner ETC. Including the driver Cd that came with the M/B. My Question is should I have Booted from the Intel CD and Loaded All the Intel drivers before I put Xp on the hard drive. Do I need to wipe the hard drive and start over?

No, the Intel CD has to be run in Windows. You did fine. I would have run it *first* but it really doesn't make any difference.
