Rebuilding my WinXP Pro (OEM) on my PC - Windows not finding myEthernet Controller - Any suggestions?

 

Hi

 

I am trying to rebuild my Windows XP Pro (OEM) on my PC.

But after booting of my CD, and formatting my disc and rebooting (etc)

apparently Windows has failed to install a driver for my Ethernet

Controller.

 

So I cant even get on line to find one!

 

Any suggestions?

 

(I tried Add new hardware wizard but it simply says

"the drivers for this device are not installed Code 28")

You have to install the motherboard drivers. These should be on a CD that

came with your machine.

If the ethernet adapter is embedded on the motherboard, you need to check

the motherboard manufacturer's site for the chipset drivers. Most

motherboards come with a CD of various drivers and utilities, and it is the

first thing you install right after the basic XP install.

For the motherboard drivers needed to enable the Ethernet adapter on that

board, go here and select XP Pro as the OS.

 

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=2068

 

Do this on another PC, and just download the files to USB key or CD. It's

a good idea to burn them all to CD and keep them *with* your XP CD for

future installation.

Thanks Guys - I managed to install something off the Intel website

called "LAN_allOS_12.1_PV_Intel_141678.exe"

which seems to have given me Internet access. Yippee!

Cheers
