you need to go into BIOS to check audio is [Enabled]

as soon as comp boots press the < Del> key
the Main menu opens http://www.overclockeddoc.com/bookwo...UXE%20Main.JPG

use arrow key to go to Advanced menu http://www.overclockeddoc.com/bookwo...20Advanced.JPG

use arrow key to go to Onboard Devices Configuration - press Enter http://www.overclockeddoc.com/bookwo...v%20Config.JPG

is AC'97 audio is [Disabled] use arrow key to select press the + key to change to [Enabled

press F10 to Save & Exit

y to accept changes

XP will then load

install the audio again

Set a System Restore Point before installing drivers just in case
Start / All Programs / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore / select Create a restore point and follow instructions
