    XP Pro not Recgonizing Network Adapter
    « on: April 06, 2007, 02:18:05 PM »
    Hello,

    So, today i decided i was reformating my hard drive, first time i've done it before, everything's working out fine. Then, i get to the point where i'm installing my internet, and it won't do it. It tells me i don't have a network adapter (which i know i have, and i know is part of the motherboard!). I go to device manager to make sure, and yeah, it's not detected.
    So, i go to just add it in as xp help and support suggested, but there were only three choices and none of them seemed to work. Any idea's what's going on?

    Whenever you format you have to remember to re-install all your drivers including MBoard, sound and video...
    The NIC drivers will be with the MBoard driver disk.

       ;D :P
      didn't have that cd so i didn't think of it. Took a little while to test going back and forth between my computer and one with internet, but i downloaded the drivers for the motherboard off the internet and it's working perfectly.
