[glb]Update!!!![/glb]

Reetting the BIOS did not change things. I rechecked with my client and he said that the real dificulty is that he has no sound and that his multimedia controllers (audio and video) are missing. Apparently this is something of a common error after what we've done

What could cause the S.M.A.R.T. to do this: PC cards not showing up, etc. How to fix this. . .for my customer  
  
Oh--and we think it has something to do with the S.M.A.R.T. because he asked about that and the PC book said something about PC cards being related to S.M.A.R.T.  
  
Windows XP (not sure which edition), 10GB Western Digital Caviar HD, pentium IV processor.
 
replaced 60GB Western digital HD with 10 GB drive after 60GB drive's little motor-runner thing got fried (rest of drive and data otherwise intact).    
 
We're almost certain it is a good HD.  
 
Sound card, TV card, etc. not registering on the PC. Also, this customer asked about S.M.A.R.T. not showing up, so that's why I titled the topic that.

We installed whatever comes on the XP CD. Does that include any drivers?

You need to download drivers seperatly if Windows XP does not auto-install them.

Hardware is usually always detected, but not always installed.

Got an [glb][glb]UPDATE[/glb][/glb]

turns out he's got third-party hardware, and needs other drivers, so we're going to try that.

What do you mean by third party? What type of hardware is he installing?
