IBM X40 Thinkpad with new OS install

Hello!

My IBM thinkpad X40 tablet had to get its little memory wiped (a la R2D2), but we could not find any of the restore disks. The good news is I was able to install a generic Windows XP, however now I don't have the drivers for the sound or PC Tablet software. Any thoughts? Good advice? Thanks!
