If you don't have SP1 incorporated into your OEM install then I would advise downloading it before installing XP again and then installing SP1 before you connect to the internet so you run less risk of problems. Personally I would stay off the broadband connection until a firewall and anti-virus software is running
I think you need the NTL CD for the USB drivers, as you say it will ask for them, thats the CD you shove in.
With the BB connection turn on XP firewall and then open explorer and run windows update, XP firewall is certainly adequate to kick this off. Then think about AV and an alternate firewall (Zone Alarm AFAIR).
