[CENTER]Ok here is my problem. I just recently got a new computer; a HP Compaq 530ssf. I add a larger hard drive to it and in do so I needed to install Windows XP Professional all over again. After I install the new Windows, it was not able to locate my ethernet card, or my sound card. I was told(and have done it before) that the drivers are available on the Windows XP Pro disk. Nope, not on mine. It can't locate the drivers on the disk either, and when I downloaded them from the HP website and burned them to a disk. And when I tried to install them from the disk it still didn't work. I don't know what is wrong, it is actually acting like it doesn't have an ethernet card or a sound card. Someone PLEASE help me.
