    Don't suppose you have any driver CD that came with the Compaq? Sometimes the Windows XP CD would have the drivers required.

    Whats the model of your Compaq? You should be able to get the drivers from PC ServiceCall (I think they do support for Compaq).

    If you installed xp without a format, they might be still on the drive in a drivers folder
