I reformated my laptop, now i have no sound! When i review the hardware installed on my computer, I am unable to detect the presence of a sound card, its as if it has not been installed.How should I go about fixing this
Thanks

Notebook computers require specialized hardware drivers only
the notebook computer manufacturer can provide. Visit the
support website of the manufacturer of you notebook computer
and download the Windows XP compatible drivers designed to
work with your specific notebook model. These drivers should
be installed right after installing Windows XP.
