Until somebody comes up with better advice: You should ( possibly) have a CD that came with the system and has drivers on it If so that should have an install routing for all the required drivers If not, then there may be drivers on the hard drive in a 'recovery partition This may be available if you use F8 at startup for the options You could also check what partitions are on the drive according to the XP install process
If not - then try the manufacturer's site for drivers associated with the PC model and OS you are hoping to install If no luck - Open the case and look for some makers id board type and version Then search the motherboard manufacturer's site for drivers Google is your friend in a lot of the driver searching Note that XP install will possibly set a 'default' XP MAC id if you haven't used the proper drivers to set the correct id JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Guillett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2005 8:34 PM Subject: Re: Installing XP when it can't find a driver for the ethernet card > As you guys know I am an excel guy and not a hardware/software guy but I do > have a Dell 8200 xp home machine.
