IP35 Pro - PCI and Network Not Working

[nitromullet]

Sorry, looked at your other thread on the abit forums... Looks like the zero fill worked... Glad to hear that it's working.

Good call Serpent, but I'm curious... What's the rationale for the zero fill, and why would it fix this kind of problem?

Here's the thread for anyone who has this problem:

It might be that the PCI card I removed did the trick, but I did both at once, so I can't tell which exactly. However, the zero fill is well worth a try!

Vista likes to take control of the HDD. Watch how the OS works the next time you perform a clean install. This can be an issue if you have other partitions and/or boot sector on the HDD. Zero fill wipes all the data on the HDD.
