I just reinstalled Windows XP on my toshiba laptop. It was originally Windows Vista but I forgot my password and had to install windows xp because it was the only OS disk I had.

Anyways, the sound doesn't work now. I am not very smart when it comes to computers, but I do know how to do some stuff. I tried everything, installing new driver, etc. I tried fixing the drivers that show a yellow question mark in the device manager, but it won't fix them because I don't have the disk for those drivers. Ugh, I don't know what to do!!

1 There may not be any drivers for XP

2 You should have a recovery partition unless you deleted it

3 Did you make any recovery disks

4 You can buy recovery media from Toshiba

5 Make and model of the laptop will be help-full to find out which keys will start the recovery wizard or to download drivers from the Toshiba site

Before going any further check to see if the Recovery Partition is there or not by doing the following.

Go to Start then to Run
Type in compmgmt.msc and click Enter
On left side click on Disk Management
On right side you will see you hard drive.
Now I need you to take a screenshot and attach it to your next reply. Do the following to take a screenshot while the above is open and showing on your desktop.

To do a screenshot please have click on your Print Screen on your keyboard. It is normally the key above your number pad between the F12 key and the Scroll Lock key
Now go to Start and then to All Programs
Scroll to Accessories and then click on Paint
In the Empty White Area click and hold the CTRL key and then click the V
Go to the File option at the top and click on Save as
Save as file type JPEG and save it to your Desktop
