Recently my harddrive broke and was replaced. i've re-installed windows 7 from the disc i received when i bought the laptop. Now, when i try to connect to a wireless network there's none available, i'm unable to detect any. i've then tried to connect via ethernet and i'm still unable to.
i've browsed some of the troubleshoot forums here and i've attempted the suggested fixes but i've been unsuccessful.
i'm confident i've narrowed the issue down and where it lies is with my network adaptor or rather, the lack of. when i enter device manager>network adaptors there's only 2 devices i can see and they're both bluetooth (personal area network & rfcomm prot tdi).
I also have the resource disc from the initial purchase. i've tried to extract and install some drivers from that and successfully in one case (bluetooth) however, when i try the others i get an error message "this software package cannot be installed on your system, setup will exit". through process of elimination i've tried all of them and none seem to work.
any advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance
