Just formated a pakard bell bought computer all went well except for in device manager there is no multimedia audio controller and no video controller (vga compatible)
now before i formated i ran belrec advisor and found the mobo as
NEC COMPUTERS INTERNATIONAL
SIS 650 1.0
I had a quick look inside and it looks like onboard graphis
anyone any idea how i can find or what im looking for
the hidden partition would have had these drivers but as i say its gone (formated)
thanks as usual for the regular guys that answer everyones questions and anyone else who replies

Rule #1: Good Computers don't go down.
Rule #2: There is no such thing as a good computer.
ok ran the prog and it says mobo type is
GIGABYTE GA-8SIML (3PCI, 1 AGP, 1CNR, 2 DIMM, AUDIO, VIDEO, LAN)
CHIPSET SIS 650
and under display it says
VIDEO ADAPTOR = SIS 315 INTEGRATED
3D ACCELATOR = SIS 315 INTEGRATED
