Change the boot sequence in the BIOS to boot from CD first. Repartition and
reformat the hard drive but beware, all data will be lost. Reinstall Win XP
but do not abort the installation if there are drivers which cannot be
found. Let the installation complete. Install AV software and update it.
Install all Windows updates. Now seek and install drivers for
non-functioning drivers, you may have a manufacturers CD with drivers on it.
If you are not confident to attempt this it is probably best to seek expert
help. Good luck . . . .
