[jesse83189]

when i switched my old hard drive out for better one from a suckier computer....it doesnt recognize any of the things that are already installed...it dont recognize the PCI ethernet card which is what i need to install my internet.....any suggestions?

plug in old hard drive as a slave drive, have your current drive scan the old one for drivers. Have it check system32, drivercache and places of that nature.

Or you can use a friends computer, look up your network card on the manufacturers site and get the driver there.

In safe mode you could run regedit and delete the enum key in HKLM. This would force a new scan and attachment of hardware.
It may ask for a driver disk or cd that goes with the card or motherboard. Depends on whether it needed it on the original install on the old drive.
