No LAN on C drive
I an using XP Home. It was loaded on both D and F drives. I just loaded it onto C drive so I could completely clear D and F. When I boot up using drive C, I have no LAN and therefore cannot get onto the internet. I am having to use drive F right now to get on. How do I get the LAN working on C so i can finish what I started?1 person needs an answerI do too

After you install an operating system you must then install drivers for all your hardware, including the network adapter. Never get drivers from Windows Update. Get them from: 1. The device mftr.'s website; OR 2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR 3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM computer (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.). Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the drivers. To find out what hardware is in your computer: 1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer. 2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway) 3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc Advisor or System Information for Windows. http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html - Belarc Advisor http://www.gtopala.com/ - System Information for WindowsMS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
