A friend has an HP A1520A XP Media Centre PC. There was no discs provided so when the HDD needed formatting, I installed Windows XP Professional for him. That went perfectly, except now he has no audio drivers, as well as other things. I'm wondering whether someone could give me an idea on where to find the sound (and other) drivers to download so we can get everything back again.

Below is the relevant portion of the Belarc Auditor we ran on the computer:

Operating System
Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (build 2600)

Processor
3.07 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4
16 kilobyte primary memory cache

137.43 Gigabytes Usable Hard Drive Capacity
132.71 Gigabytes Hard Drive Free Space

DVDRW IDE1008 [CD-ROM drive]
HL-DT-ST DVDRRW GSA-H20L [CD-ROM drive]

Generic USB CF Reader USB Device [Hard drive] -- drive 2
Generic USB MS Reader USB Device [Hard drive] -- drive 4
Generic USB SD Reader USB Device [Hard drive] -- drive 1
Generic USB SM Reader USB Device [Hard drive] -- drive 3
WDC WD1600JS-60NCB1 [Hard drive] (160.04 GB) -- drive 0

Thanks in advance for all of your help and advice.

these are the only downloads offered by HP http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s... 99249&dlc=en

but audio is realtek High Definition go here http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...&GetDown=false

download the (Executable file) save to desktop, double click to install

The site is slow

SET A SYSTEM RESTORE POINT BEFORE INSTALLING JUST IN CASE

Hope this helps
