ok, im having a little problem with a sound card i got about a year ago. its a Mad Dog predator blastwave 5.1, and i had it in my new computer for a few monthes now, and all of a sudden one day it stopped working. it shows up under device managerm even when i took it out of my computer, but it wont show up under control panel media devices.
i took it out and put it in my other computer and it shows up as working fine, so i kno it has to be my computer. i have windows xp p4. ive tried to install it in another pci slot and it still wont work. ive uninstalled drivers and reinstalled, and still nothing.
hopefully someone from here can help me out, i would really appreciate it.

I had a similar problem with a clients computer the other day.
Try re-installing windows XP over the top of your current installation. Seems like you have a corrupt dll or something.
Same problem, he couldnt hear sound or go into sound properties even though the card was detected in Device Mananger.

Hey
If your sound card is installed remove it and try to boot to windows. While you've got the case open, check that other cards and connectors are seated properly.
If this fails you may need to perform another Repair XP Installation.
It's a good idea to install you hard drive in the other computer and backup your data either to disk or to another drive. If you don't and you can't fix the XP installation, you will end up losing your data in the boot partition when you are forced to do a Fresh Installation.

Hey
I'm not clear on your setup but this is what you need.
First, if you have a computer with a functioning O/S you can install the hard drive with the bad XP installation into it. You should have two IdE Channels(Primary and Secondary for a total of four IDE drives) so disconnect any CD/DVD devices to make room for the drives you want to install.
Install the 160gb and you can transfer files fairly quickly.
So in the end you will have machine with...
Functioning O/S Master-primary
Bad XP drive Slave-primary
160gb drive Master/slave-secondary.
Transfer your files and reinstall Windows after you format.
