This Device Cannot Start (code 10)

Hi all!

I'll save the long tale of woe and just say that my hard drive failed.
Went down in a glorious display of BSOD. So now I have a spiffy new
one...with nothing on it.

I loaded my XP Home Edition and upgraded to the Service Pack 3 like a
good girl...

The New Hardware Wizard found "IDT High Definition Audio Codec" and
automatically started to do the installation. At the last second, it
gives me an error of "Problem Installing Hardware: This Device Cannot
Start (code 10)"

I've tried the troubleshooting suggestions of uninstalling and
reinstalling (via New Hardware Wizard), I've tried going to the IDT
website and getting updated drivers, but the drivers won't install,
because the hardware isn't installed.

Please help? Pictures are pretty, but I would love to hear what is
being said...
