Best Way to Uninstall Prior to Sp2

[Treeman]

This computer (1 out of 3) had trouble with SP2 in the past.
Mostly hardware problems; I want to uninstall these items temporarily while SP2 does it's upgrade.
HP Printer & Scanner
PCI Combo Firewire & USb card
Audigy 2 Z2 Sound Card
I will put them back in the order they came out, rebooting after each one is recognised by SP2.

My question is; what is the best way to do this? In device manager?
Disable each item, shut off computer & physically remove the items one-at-a-time?
The new drivers for the printer, scanner, & sound card will still be on the hard drive, so I'm hoping that will make the re-installation of each one simple.
Your confirmation of my plan will be appreciated.

Besides removing them from the Device Manager, uninstall all/any
drivers/software listed in Add/Remove Programs.

Yves,
You say I should remove the drivers also. Can you explain why?
Thank you,
