I don't have any sound and I have downloaded the drivers from realtek. I recently re-formatted my hard drive and that is the only problem I'm having

if your computer came with a motherboard disc the sound drivers could be on it
click start control panel administrive tools computer management device manager scroll to sound video and game controllers you might see a yellow question exclamation mark? ! or a red X Right click to reinstall drivers
if you dont have a disk with the drivers you will have to download them

Thanks and I hope this helps :)

If you're drive has errors installing software is not a good idea. Repair the disk errors first. The best way to fix drive errors is to download the manufactures tools -utilities software and check the drive/repair. Every manufacture allows you to download software where you can create a bootable floppy disk or a bootable CD-ROM disk. These function in a Dos like mode. You'll be able to check the drive for errors or problems and most times will repair the drive. It will also let you create partitions and format the drive. (Do this before installing windows).

The Mercury MB P4VM800M7 uses Realtek ALC655. Open the link provided by cnet;
http://download.cnet.com/Audio-Realtek-ALC655-AC-97-AUDIO/3000-2110_4-168843.html
Create a folder on you're desktop and name it Realtek.
Download the driver in to the folder and run it.

Here is the link

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=23&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

Just Download The Appropriate OS and you'll be sweet

Goodluck

Please explain more the position:
1. Is the hard drive properly connected in the computer?
2. have you booted the computer to recognize HD in BIOS?
3. Have you inserted bootabe Windows CD to attempt loading the operating system?
4. Has the Operating system loaded and failed?

Note: hard Drives are made in Standard Industry specs. If its good and connected properly it should work. If it is a second or third hard drive you are connecting, it may be connected wrong in data cables.

This should do it :)

I eventually got this working. Download the latest version of the AC97 driver from the Realtek website:
