When you reinstall you will need the drivers for the hardware.
Download the network card drivers fo rit first, save them to a thumb drive.
Then when you boot off the Windows cd it will start the setup. When you get to where it shows the hard drive I want you to delete all the partitions. So when done you will just have one large partition.
Then install Windows on there. When done load the network card drivers and you can get on the net and use Windows updates to pull the rest. Any it misses you can get from the mfg website. :wink:

So I checked for extentions and this is what came up...FreeDos 7.01 running
