cause its a wholenew operating system and unlike Vista, XP doesnt find all your drivers for you.

you will have to get each driver you need from the manufactures website. or use a program like DRIVER MAGITION sorry cant spell that word but u get the idea

Youre laptop comes with a RECOVERY CD, there should be two.
One of the CD's has all youre drivers, you put it in and install all of them.
Good luck
