I just put in a new hard drive and installed windows XP. My computer had sound before this changes. I checked all my connections and they are plugged in, I checked the sound device and its enabled and installed. I have sound blaster by the way, how do I correct this. Thanks in advance.

Your sound card DRIVER is gone. It is in the old hard drive.
After installing Win XP on the new hard drive, next should be the motherboard chipset drivers, then the graphics card driver and the sound card driver.

*IF* you see any Yellow & Black ! point or Red X REMOVEE them
Shutdown your computer, NOT RESTART
Wait at least 2 minutes then restart computer
Windows SHOULD find and REinstall the drivers
Note: Even IF you don't see the above mentioned ! or X, just remove the sound card drivers anyway, then do the Shutdown procedure
