Computer Hope

I recently decided to re-image my computer with Ubuntu 9.04; then realized that 99% of the required school software was a pain to install under Linux. Anyway, I re-imaged again with a legitimate copy (provided by my high school) of Windows XP sp2. After installing the appropriate drivers, I noticed that I had no sound. I rebooted and was greeted by the hopeful "Found New Hardware Wizard" that clearly wanted me to install software for "Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus." I clicked through the wizard (screenshots included), and found the operation to be unsuccessful. I have tried looking for the drivers but for the life of me I cannot find anything remotely relevant.
I am using a Lenovo ThinkPad T60P 8741-AD5, and I installed Windows XP sp2 on an NTFS Partition. The specs, directly from the Lenovo website, are as follows:
Based on 8741-C5U: T7200(2GHz), 2GB RAM, 160GB 7200rpm HD, 15.4in 1680x1050 LCD, 256MB ATI FireGL V5250, CDRW/DVDRW, 802.11abg wireless, Bluetooth, Modem, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, Secure chip, Fingerprint reader, 9c Li-Ion, WinXP Pro
Any help at all would be great. My friend and I did the exact same thing with our computers (same model, even) and both have the exact same problem. Thanks in advance for any pointers towards restoring my sound!

I had looked a hundred times before, but I guess I did not look hard enough. After installing the driver and restarting my computer, my sound works once again.
Issue resolved: User was being an unobservant idiot. XD
Thank you for the help ^_^
