Thanks for the suggestion, totally forgot about system restore. Unfortunately I think you may be right as that did not fix it . Edit: OK now I'm really stumped... I pulled an old sound card from my closet(read: lobotomized) PC and installed it. Booted up and got ready to install drivers and now I have the little speaker icon. Switch wires back to on board sound and it's working again.

I come home from work today to find myself with no sound. After a bit of investigation windows is reading the sound driver as not installed. I've attempted two time to re-install it from the CD and even downloaded the latest drivers from realtec. Every time I install, reboot, and up pops the little balloon "Unknown device CIF Single Chip" I've check the BIOS settings as this is on board sound and it is enabled. Any help is appreciated.

I was hoping to avoid this but since the install is fresh and I haven't gone to the trouble of installing any games yet I think this will be the easiest solution. Thanks for all the responses guys

I just re-installed XP Home after losing my hard drive but have a slight problem. I have 2 hard drives, a 10GB(IDE) that is used for backup and the new 500gb(SATA). When installing I chose the 500GB for the install and that seems to be where it installed to. The problem is if i remove the 10gb I get the a "No system disk" error. I can solve this by putting the 10gb back and putting the windows CD in(but not booting to CD just having it in there). After I got everything back up I checked both disks and noticed the following files are on the 10gb. autoexec.bat boot.ini config.sys io.sys msdos.sys ntdetect.com ntldr What I'm wondering is if I can simply copy those files over to the 500gb or if there is something more that needs to be done. Any help is greatly appreciated.
