    NIC not being recognized after reformat - Can't find drivers - Thanks for the help

    In a last ditch effort, I reinstalled Win7, x86 this time, and reintalled the recommended drivers. Now, my ethernet adapter is being shown. Under my network adapters it is labeled: "Local Area Network The network cable is unplugged Broadcom virtual wireless adapter" The network cable is...

    NIC not being recognized after reformat - Can't find drivers - Thanks for the help

    It's so disappointing also because I just bought a NAS with 6TB. I was hoping to finally get my dream XBMC setup. Just another small delay.

    NIC not being recognized after reformat - Can't find drivers - Thanks for the help

    Yeah, that was the whole point of this thread. My wireless was working my my actual wired NIC was not. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. But, it looks like a wired USB is my best option.

    NIC not being recognized after reformat - Can't find drivers - Thanks for the help

    Yeah, I was just thinking about that. The only reason I really need the NIC is to stream HD movies. This computer is used as my HTPC and the kids and wife are getting antsy for me to get it working again with smooth streaming. Well, I appreciate everyone's help.

    NIC not being recognized after reformat - Can't find drivers - Thanks for the help

    No room for a PCI or PCI-E NIC, it's a really compact case. I used the linux live CD and was unable to get get the NIC to work, but that could have been my lack of experience with linux. I'm not totally convinced it is a hardware failure. It is just too odd to me one minute it is working no...

    NIC not being recognized after reformat - Can't find drivers - Thanks for the help

    Damn, it was a good idea with bad results. Still not recognized, I'm worried it's FUBAR'd. I'm reformatting again, hopefully with different results but I'm starting to figure a hardware failure. If I find anything out I will report back. Thanks for the help.

    NIC not being recognized after reformat - Can't find drivers - Thanks for the help

    Yeah, I was starting to worry about that. Perhaps I will wait just a bit longer to see if anyone else has any ideas before I reinstall again; even if I reinstall again, I am worried that I won't have the correct drivers to make it work anyway. I did just take apart the computer. The NIC is...

    NIC not being recognized after reformat - Can't find drivers - Thanks for the help

    Thanks for all the reply! I've been busy with school (finals) so I have been not as intentive on this thread as I need to be, I appreciate all the help. As of right now, the device doesn't even show up under my device manager. It only shows my wireless, which is listed as "DW1501 Wireless-N...

    NIC not being recognized after reformat - Can't find drivers - Thanks for the help

    That's a good question. At first, it was shown as an unknown device until I installed that Broadcom driver which then labeled it as a Virtual Wireless Device. Once I realized that wasn't the correct driver, I uninstalled it and now it no longer displays any driver for my NIC. My wireless...

    NIC not being recognized after reformat - Can't find drivers - Thanks for the help

    Yes I have. Windows does not recognize it at all. It won't even show up under my device manager. My BIOS recognizes it, so I know it's not a broken NIC.

    HDMI and 3.5mm Audio Conflict - Thanks!

    Remember these laptops?

    I am not a Mac person, but I have been soooo tempted to break down and buy a Mac Book Pro purely based upon its look. But, I have some ethical dilemma paying a huge mark up. That thinkpad is, meh. It wants to be sexy but the designers still don't seem to have any style. Of course, that is my...

    Remember these laptops?

    Does anyone remember, way back in the year 2006 when Voodoo PC released the Envy 13? http://www.voodoopc.com/#/productsenvy Sure, they were way overpriced, but, so sexy looking. You would think 5 years later some hardware manufacture would be able to build a decent looking PC laptop. The...

    TV mount with vertical movement for a 52" Samsung?

    Hey guys, These forums are always so helpful and friendly. I'm in need for some further help and I know this is the right place to ask. My current TV situation is kind of hairy (difficult to explain). The best circumstance I have found is to have a mount that is able to extend 22 inches...

    Motherboard will not POST! Help!

    This may sound silly .. but did you ensure that the mobo is on stilts and is not directly sitting on the metal of the case? If not the power will be dispersed among the metal of the case and not power up. Im sure you know what you are doing but it never hurts to suggest these things.

    Won't boot

    When you say the motherboard doesn't even turn on do you mean that you dont hear that "beep" post message? To me, I am having a similar problem, it sounds like a PSU problem. It seems that PSU seems to fail much more often than any other components especially Mobos.

    Slipstream preinstalled applications into a windows installation disk

    I knew you could slipstream M$ updates into the disk but I wasnt aware of doing this with applications. I will have to look into vlite further.

    Slipstream preinstalled applications into a windows installation disk

    I've been search the net but have failed to find a good explanation on how you can have applications installed within a windows installation disk. i.e. when reformatting and installing windows it automatically has VLC installed rather than windows media player. This is just an example but I...

    Oh crap! - A studpid mistake requires some assistance!

    I've attached several more external HDD and I am backing up all the information to several sources. Looks like things are going to work out. Thanks for all the help. Just for a reference I used Recover My Files and the program worked amazingly. Thanks again.

    Oh crap! - A studpid mistake requires some assistance!

    The HDD I messed up is a 1TB. I always could use the extra space but I don't have the money or the actual need. All I am trying to do is find all the solutions possible. It may come down to me purchasing another TB HDD but I would prefer to avoid that.

    Oh crap! - A studpid mistake requires some assistance!

    I was told I could do a quick format. This keeps the data files in place but changes the volume name? Is this possible? Will this "bork" things up? (hehe). Im just trying to avoid buying another HDD. Money is tight for me since I have a 3 week trip planed to travel to Peru on a medical trip.

    Oh crap! - A studpid mistake requires some assistance!

    I am currently doing a scan with GetBackData and it appears it will be able to recover my files, thank you. But I am curious because it appears I will have to transfer the data from my secondary HDD to a separate HDD. This is impossible because I have over 800GB of data on my secondary but I...

    Oh crap! - A studpid mistake requires some assistance!

    Hey guys, Some of you will shake your heads and roll your eyes. Others will laugh at me. But I made a major mistake and I desperately need your help. My plan was to reformat my primary hard drive to reinstall Windows XP (I hated vista). During this process I thought I was deleting a...

    8800 gts driver will not install on Vista Ultimate?

    I uninstalled the driver, booted into safe, installed the newest and when I rebooted it was still the same ole generic video driver. I havent tried to dual boot only because I havent installed vista. In the device manager everything is shown to be working fine. The only problem is its the...

    8800 gts driver will not install on Vista Ultimate?

    The reason I think this is because 1. My vista scoring is only a 1, it does not run any of the aero graphics. 2. When I go to device manager and view the driver it says its v7.5 when I clearly have been trying to install the newest 162.22
