Reading http://forums.cnet.com/5208-7587_102-0.html?threadID=271360#2699006 you see that no one but HP may know the exact install order of drivers. Also you didn't tell what stopped you.

Sorry but let's try this.

HP knows the procedure. I can't know and if you read that link you may or may not notice the drivers were on a FTP server and not some web page. This means that only HP may know where the drivers are.

What's stopping you from asking the right persons?
