Hey all. Decided to put xp on my laptop, reformatted, installed an old version of xp and installed. Everything went perfect, installed all my favorite proggies, updated my xp (using an old version), all is good. One problem. No sound on the laptop. I have tried EVERYTHING! Went to toshiba, intel, conexant, etc. looking for drivers and nothing has worked.
I did a lot of reading on the web and many many people have had the same problem with other laptops, and mine in particular with the laptop not recognizing sound systems after upgrading to xp from vista. Has anyone else had this problem, or success in fixing it? I am at my wits end, and prepared to put the vista system back on it and spend the time reorganizing everything even though its a pain. One weird thing is the sound card and modem are intertwined somehow.
One quick unrelated question. Any programs that anyone suggests, or any easy way to partition the harddrive prior to a reinstall? I would like to keep the system files on a separate partition from my personal files.
Thanks !
