Hi, I've just got a new Acer Aspire 5672wlmi which didn't have any recovery or driver CDs. I clean installed Windows XP on a newly formatted hard drive.

For some reason, the computer can't detect the modem, sound card or wireless adapter. I've checked on the Acer website and it says this laptop has these devices. Just wondering if this is normal? Do we need to install the drivers for the computer to recognise the devices? I'm so confused…

I have windows xp professional service pack 2 and I want to know If I can do a clean install of the os with out having to format my hard drive?
yes but if I install the new os without uninstalling the otherr one I willhave 2 partitions which I dont want.
