Hi Shiw...
Did you restore using the same copy of Windows XP Professional that was included in your restore partition or CD? If yes, what is the model name and number of your Samsung. The laptop's serial number might help as well.
God bless :)

I used a cd to format it hehe the truth is that I've broken it with a registry cleaner again in advance users mode.
wait I gonna take some photos ;D

Hi Shiw...
Ok, but are you using the copy of XP that came with the system? I don't mean to be intrusive or rude in an way, but I don't offer support for illegal installs of Windows. ;)
If you are, what is the model name and number of your Samsung?
God bless :)

Hi Shiw...
I see. The first thing that we need to determine is if you have a restore partition on your hard drive. If you double click on "My computer," do you see two different drive letters (on the hard drive,) C and D?
If "C" is the only one listed (with D as your CD-ROM,) then you will need to contact Microsoft at (800) 936-5700 to discuss the situation with them. You will probably need to dial additional numbers from Mauritius where you live.
God bless :)

The number in Mauritius do not work I've called them more than 2 times no reply do you know why is that no working :-\
By the way I think I formatted the hard disks during the xp installation and make it become only one :(
Is it obligatory for a laptop?

Hey,
Why don't u use speccy?
http://www.piriform.com/speccy
It can help you see what is inside your PC and you can do a Google search for the drivers
-
But I am not that sure what driver is the real one :(
-

Ohhhh, dear :(
So it's possible you've lost your restore partition. :(
Why don't you give Samsung (http://www.samsung.com/uk/info/contactus.html) a call (or an e-mail) first to see if they can issue you a restore CD for your laptop. If they can't help, then I would call Microsoft. You definately should take care of the licensing aspect of this first. ;)
God bless :)

Yay thank you ardvark!

Hi Shiw...
Cool, did you give them the same serial number you gave us? They will probably respond with a question like my mine (in my initial post about the model name and number) if you just told them you have a Samsung with Windows XP Professional. ;D
God bless :)
-
Oops I think I didn't but I gave them only a photo of my licence key sticked :(

Hi Shiw...
I would write back to Samsung and give them your laptop's model name and number and serial number and ask them again for a restore CD for it. :)
God bless :)

Thank you a lot ardvark but how to get that cd ???

I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you mean. If you meant how do you get the the restore CD from Samsung, simply write (or call) back to Samsung with the model name and number and serial number of your laptop and ask for a restore CD for it. When they reply, they will tell you whether or not if they have one. If they do, they will tell you how much it costs and, hopefully, confirm that it contains Windows XP Professional or Home. If not, perhaps Microsoft can help you by issuing you a new key. You would need to call them to find out if that's possible with the copy you installed from. This and the other options are listed in the PM I sent you. :)
God bless :)

If you are running 30 days trial then no problem to reformat and re-install at any time. So you have some latitude to try few different things to get to know your laptop better.
Seems like you have bypassed option to restore to factory settings (if option was there), so you have needed carry out your own install. I presume that device manager shows drivers are needed for sound and for LAN.
You can use speccy (as above), Belarc, etc...to bring up the specs of devices you have on board and then go to manufacturer and search for required device and its driver - or go to driversguide or driverscollection.com and use selections steps to find a driver that works.
Your Samsung - a search for A3LSP10 indicates maybe a motherboard that is also found in the (Micron) MPC TransPort T2000 (though very little info is returned - what would help immensely is the model of your Samsung, which should be prominent on the front of laptop, perhaps V something or other). Then again, the MPC and the Samsung models may have only used some of same components (hopefully the motherboard). Samsung may have been manufactuer of most of the MPC laptops over period of time. So perhaps T2000 or another MPC model is same as yours.
Here are some leads to follow up to see if a same model was rebranded.
T2000 - http://www.mpcdrivers.com/apps/syshubed85.html?ID=201
Drivers - http://www.mpcdrivers.com/apps/filelistcbbe.html?ID=7381
There is different drivers for the 14.1" screen model and the 15" screen model.
Manuals - http://www.mpcdrivers.com/apps/manualhubff2c.html?ID=201&Categ=191
Also a chipset driver is available for motherboard. But for time being, reply post as to how you're doing. Do the two models match up?
-
Wow there is really a lot.
Confusing but trying it if working,saving it to Cd.

see below - screenshot of specs for T2000
You can just download needed drivers individually from - http://www.mpcdrivers.com/apps/filelistcbbe.html?ID=7381
