unknown device with this ? or !

I had to buy a new hard drive (toshiba tecra m3 1.6). After I downloaded the os (xp). I was able to get on the internet but as I did updated some driver, I am still have unknown device with a yellow (?) or (!) I have spent days trying to find the driver for the following:
Ethernet Controller
Multimedia Controller
PCI Modem
VGA Controller
Which they all have code 28
I have been to the toshiba website many time with no success.
The driver I did find were not compatiable to my laptop.
I also tried programs like driver detective but all they tell me is I need drivers, in order to fix the errors they want money.

Any help greatly apreciated

Thanks

Notice that some 10 drivers are required in a very specific order. What I find today is such drivers are rare to non-existent.

I will take your word that these are not to be found.
