Re: Problem after reinstalling

Thank you Tom. It wasn't so much me that could find the drivers but the Add
New Hardware Wizard. I had already been to the Dell Support Site using my
service tag and did get rather confused at the choices so I posted to the ng
in the hope that there might have been a quick solution.

Unfortunately my restore partion is gone. I used Partion Magic & & neither
the small partion nor the larger one are there although they did show up
using Partition Magic before so I must have deleted them.

I've now found some of the drivers I need but am still missing 3 -

Ethernet Controller
Multimedia Video Controller
and
IDT High Definition Audoi Codec

My Video Card is an ATI Radeon & I have installed the software for that

My Sound Card is a Creative Labs Audigy Advanced and I have installed the
software for that also.

I have also installed the Chipset software as that was marked as urgent on
the Dell support Site.

Any suggestions on the 3 missing drivers would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a little surprised you couldn't find the support link at dell.com,
but here's the direct link to the drivers for your machine:

Make SURE you install the chipset drivers FIRST. The rest can go in any
order.


That said, before I did that, I'd try the instructions here:

http://www.goodells.net/dellrestore/fixes.htm

to try to fix your restore partition. Hopefully you didn't repartition
your drive, just reformatted it. The restore partition might still
exist.

Suggestion: Before you reformat a machine, always download the latest
drivers and burn a CD or put them on a USB drive first.

Subject: Problem after reinstalling

I have a Dimension 9200 & my OS is WinXP (media center edition) SP3

I needed to restore my pc however the Dell PC Restore by Symantic
could
not
be accessed using ctrl & F11 so I formatted my hard drive &
reinstalled
from the XP CD. I have also installed the drivers from the Dell
drivers &
Utilities CD.

On rebooting the new hardware wizard found the following:

Ethernet Controller
Multimedia Video Controller
SM Bus Controller
Video Controller
Video Controller (VGA compatible)
and
IDT High Definition Audio Codec.

A search of my pc & the internet failed to find the necessary files to
install so that the above works.

In device maager all these items are listed as not installed.

Can any kind person please advise me what I need to do please?

Macc
