Hi I have a problem with my Packard Bell laptop and was wondering if anyone have any ideas before I bin it lol

The HD died big time so I purchased a replacement, the problem came when I tried to put XP back on to the HD from the rescue disk I had made when I purchased the laptop, PBell did not supply one so I made the copy.

The laptop has an error saying that there is a glue parts error, pci device controller, pci modem appears with a yellow question mark in the other devices tab, ie it does not recognise the modem, there are a few other hardware parts it does not recognise.

I suspect it is a missing file/s on the recovery disk but can not see anyway around it even if I got a new copy of XP as am I not right in thinking that PBell use there XP with drives etc for there laptops?

Any advice would be most welcome,
Sean

That'll be the device drivers. If you go to the PBell site, in the support area there should be a downloads sections from which you'll be able to download all the necessary device drivers.
