I'm running win xp pro. I had a 40 gig hard drive and upgraded from 40 to
500
gig and once I did this I lost the sounds on my computer, now I can
switch
between the 2 hard drives and when I hook the 40 gig back up I have sound
but
when I put the 500 back on I've got no sounds at all. These are SATA
Drives
by the way in case anyone needs to know..... I've spoken to a tech guy at
a
computer repair shop on how to fix this issue but when I attempt to do it
myself, I get some kinda weird error message that, if i delete this
windows
won't rn properly or something along those lines, can ANYONE help me. I've
been struggling with this issue for the better part of 8 months and I
would
REALLY like to have my sound back!!!... Thanks in advance to those who
read
and reply and help resolve this issue.
What do you mean by upgraded ?
You took the 40 gig out and put in a 500 gig, or you simply added a 500 gig
to your existing setup ?
If the former, then it sounds like you didn't install your soundcard
drivers. TO check :
Right Click on My Computer > Harware > Device Manger > find the entry for
your soundcard > anything there ? If not, simply install your soundcard XP
drivers.
If the latter, then do this :
Right Click on My Computer > Harware > Device Manger > find the entry for
your soundcard > is there a yellow triangle against it ? Whatever you find
righ click on the entry and un-install it > re-boot > let XP find the new
harware. Let it try and find the drivers and install them > re-boot.
If XP can't find the drivers, or says that your card is installed but may
not function correctly, install the XP drivers.
Re-post if none of this works, but explain what you mean by "upgrade".
Cheers,
