to all of u following my previous sagas of last week here's today's exciting episode. my hdd gave in- bios not picking it up at all.
I finally gave up and bought a new drive and installed xp. Only problem now is that I'm not sure what drivers I need I keep getting the following problems in device manager:
1) audio device on high definition audio bus
2) multimedia contoroller
3) multimedia video controller

I ran hwinfo32 and this is what shows up for my components:

the high definition audio bus driver would most likely be your ati display card's hdmi driver, which you can download from the ati driver site

Must I install the chipset, LAN and vga drivers as well?

Yes. VGA not really required, will have to disable ati to install intel vga drivers.

The drivers on Gigabytes site are old by now. Best to get them from the chipset manufacturers sites.
