Fresh install of WIN XP on X201: Strategy: Which Drivers? In what order?

Question

I am doing a fresh install of Windows XP SP3 (32 bits) from an Windows installation CD. As we know, after Windows CD completes the initial installation, a bunch of unknown devices shows up in Device  Manager. So I need to install drivers for them.  And  I only want to install nessesary drivers and as little of   additional ThinPad Software as possible.
So I go to ThinkPad  Download Drivers & Software and there are WinXP drivers for my model (5143-28U). Some drivers are uniqe and are pretty obvoius to identify, for example, "Intel Chipset" or "Rapid Storage". But others are confusing, sometimes there 2 or even 3 similarly looking drivers. For example:
(1)ThinkPad 11b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter II for Windows XP, 10.95 MB,  Ver:1.00.0029.8     released 14Sep2011.
(2)Intel Wireless LAN (11abgn, abg, bg) 242.48 MB    Ver:14.02.0000    released 08Sep2011
Which of the two to install? If both, then which is the first? ......????   ......??? Etc, etc, etc
Or another example:
(1) Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate Software II for Windows XP - ThinkPad.
(2) Bluetooth Support File for Bluetooth 2.1 with Enhanced Data Rate Software for Windows XP.
Which of the two to install? If both, then which is the first? ......????   ......??? Etc, etc, etc
By the way, after I have intalled one of  the two Bluetooth drivers, my  Windows craches during the startup up with BOD (Blue screen). What if anything should be done to properly install  Bluetooth drivers?
Finally, is there a specific list  of drivers only  (and not just additional  Lenovo software and Tools) to get rid of unknown devices with yellow question marks in Device Manager?
Thanks.
