Answer 1

The first step is to find out if by "restore" your brother also did a "format".


1) Double-click on My Computer.
2) Double-click on the C drive.
3) Double-click on "Documents and Settings"
4) Look at the folders listed here. Does any of them have the name of your old user login? If you aren't sure, click on each of them - and from there, click on the "My Documents" or "(Username) Documents" within that folder.

If that is not there - then it's likely everything was deleted. All files. All software. And more critically, all drivers.


If that is not there, you should do the following:
1) Go to your manufacturers website
2) Enter your model/series information
3) Download drivers there (start with the audio driver, since you mentioned that)
