1) ALL power removed. Remove the AC adapter (Charger), and Battery.

2) Turn the laptop over bottom side up, Battery Compartment facing AWAY from you, down on a table.
You may wish to lay a soft Static free cloth on the table, to prevent scratching the table, or laptop.

3) Take this cover off,

Remove the Ram Memory module/s. ('Stick')
Lay them/it carefully aside. Handle by the BODY. The Body is everywhere on the Ram Memory module, EXCEPT the gold plated contact pins at the bottom.

The Body is coated with a see-through protective plastic.

4) Remove this Philips head screw, and push the optical drive out,

The top of the optical drive will have small Philips head screws, or Torx screws. They sell Torx screwdrivers real cheap,

Remove the screws, remove the cover, remove the disk.

[Sounds like you may need a replacement optical drive ]

Wow that's a bummer if it is soldered to the motherboard. Sounds like you will have to desolder the old one and resolder a new one. Good Luck

Pictures may show how:

Also, search using https://www.google.com with the search term disassembly and look at youtube videos on how to disassemble.

You insert the SD card into the slot. There should be nothing to connect. Usually there is a placeholder in the slot, and just push it in, and it will pop out.

clear the bios by removing the small battery on the mainboard for 10 hours.the power on

Once in a blue moon, the driver that works in Vista will work in XP. Try a forced install. You can also Google the model of the sound card (motherboard if the sound is integrated) and see if there is a XP driver that way. Good luck.

I hope you will find yours.
Happy New Year /Teis
