Hi Ms.Geetha
First what you need to know what brand of sound card is ..,
This you will be able to know from Control panel -> sounds and Audio devices option
once u know the Type, U can down load it from net or
the very easiest is to take any Mother Board CD from some of ur collegues and run the
setup.exe from [sound] Folder in the CD
I think the soundcard present on ur mother board is not Avance AC'97, Xp comes with default drivers of Avance AC'97 Drivers.

this will solve ur problem...,

My laptop says no bootable device insert disk what is wrong?

NO BOOTABLE DEVICE When the PC cannot see a boot file/disk on either the hard disk or floppy drive it gives an error message "No bootable device. Insert boot disk and press any key" First thing, check to see if the is a floppy disk in the floppy drive, if so removes this disk. If there was no disk in the floppy drive then it may be a hard disk problem.
Check the BIOS to see if the hard disk is detected, if not open the case and re-seat the data cable on the hard drive and also where it connects to the motherboard disk controller.
If it still gives this error message and the BIOS does not detect this hard drive, then the hard drive is probably faulty.
A further check on the hard drive, remove the hard drive and connect it to an USB hard drive adapter and connect it to a working computer's USB port, if this computer does not detect it as an external storage device then the hard drive is faulty.
To get the computer operating again, install a new hard drive in your computer and then install Windows on this hard drive plus the computer's device drivers and your programs.

It sounds like the hard disk is faulty, the machine is trying to boot via the network card as it cannot find a bootable disk. You could try removing the hard drive and reseating it but the disk could be dead.

I recently installed new hard drive and have no sound

Identify your sound board - visit the manufacturer website ... search your model and get the driver. You can look in the Device Manager for this information. You may also wish to update or download the driver from within the device manager.

You may wish to go to www.pcpitstoplcom and have your computer scanned. The website will provide you with a free report on all aspects of your computer, software installed, memory, names of components and what drivers are installed and or missing.

This is a free service of PCPITSTOP, though they do sell stuff there. It is certainly worthwhile to take advantage of this free service.

If you need additional help with this, please let me know.

I hope you find what you need
