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")

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

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.

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.

You have to install the motherboard drivers. These should be on a CD that
came with your machine.
