Hello,

Just a few hours ago I reinstalled Windows 7 Home Edition on my desktop computer, and upon logging in for the first time I noticed I wasn't connected. I use a USB Network Adapter. After troubleshooting the issue I got "Driver not found", so I ran an ethernet cable to my desktop and it still won't connect. Any idea why I can't even connect with an ethernet, any help would be appreciated.

But doI need the drivers for an ethernet cable? And where would I find the chipset drivers I need?

Thanks

Okay so my Motherboard is a Z87-G43, I download this, right? - http://us.msi.com/support/mb/Z87G43.html#down-driver&Win7 64

And I downloaded CpuZ, it says my chipset is a Haswell. Do I download this as well? - http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds041839


UPDATE: I just downloaded WinRar and downloaded the first link, I downloaded the Windows 64 version (I have 64bit) and got the Zip file, transferred to my USB, and plugged in my Desktop. When I opened the USB it said "Please insert last disk of the Multi-Volume set", I canceled and tried to open the .Zip file. It gave me an "End of Archive" error. I've redownloaded 3 times in case it was just corrupted but none seem to work.
