Did you do a clean install of XP, or was it already on the hard drive, such
as clone from another computer? If a clone, or physcial hard drive from
another computer, you will need to do a "repair" installation of XP. Unlike
win98, XP uses hardware-specific drivers that load during its installation.
Some of these, related to the motherboard, can not be changed, except during
the installation process. Others, like video card can be changed whenever
you want, because at worst XP will use some safe default. A repair will not
format the drive and will not erase user files. (Of course, if cloning is
involved you will need to reactivate XP, once you get it running.)
