Significant Reload Issues

Thanks to whomever replies to this -- I can't live without y'all!
 
 
I received a reinstallation CD and reinstalled XP Home this afternoon. I also deleted all the partitions on my HD.
 
Now I find that my laptop cannot detect the hardware that came with my computer (speakers and modem for now, perhaps more that I have yet to discover) and the Stand-By/Hibernate function is suddenly disabled.
 
Is there anything any of you can suggest, or do I need to take my laptop to a professional?

Thanks in advance -- you're saving my life!

    Did you install the ChipSet driver, video driver and a few other drivers after the installation  ?  Give use the model number to your system first and we can direct you to the driver download site

    I think my video card is also something that my computer will also now not recognize.

    I didn't receive any drivers with my computer.

    And actually, I may be up a worse tree than I thought, because since my laptop doesn't recognize my modem, I can't go to the site to download the drivers and my father's laptop (which I'm typing this reply from) is an ancient Lattitude that doesn't have a CD burner.

    Nevertheless, I have an Inspiron 1000 (which I guess they stopped making shortly after I purchased mine, because I don't see it in the catalog anymore), so if you have any other ideas, run them by me.

    Thanks!

    Ooo...I just had an idea...

    I have an external HD that I can attach to my father's computer and download the drivers to.

    Where should I put them after I've downloaded them (or is the link an .exe [or similar] that will run itself?)

     

    Thanks!
