Thread: Reformatted my Hard Disk but unable to position the network

Hey, I have lastly reformatted my hard disk from my laptop, but I consider it that I have made a mistake while doing the backing up of important files and the whole thing has got erased. So I then again reinstalled my operating system which is vista 32-bit, and that is the only way on my computer now and I can no longer locate any network. Other laptops in my house can easily find the network just not mine. I also recognize that I have also deleted something which is very important. I heard that I maybe have to update my NIC drivers? (between my router which is a wireless-G 2.4 Ghz linksys).

My NIC is: realtek RTL 8139/810x FamilyFast Ethernet NIC
driver: 5.640.630.2006

If someone who has any experience or knowledge about this area can help me out, it would be very much appreciated.

That's a restless NIC, you need the wireless one.

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type devmgmt.msc
