Hello,
My operating system is Windows XP. I was running the program KillDisk when I realised that the program would delete EVERYTHING. I cancelled the program mid-action and my computer crashed. When I restarted I was greeted with some message offering either an f1 or f2 setup option. After creating a partition for windows xp to be installed on the computer could then progress to the main screen. Now my computer appears very much like it did when i first bought it. Everything is gone. I cannot seem to establish a connecton with the internet. All of the computers in the house are connected to a Linksys and a SB4100 Cable Modem (surfboard). My desktop also has a wireless aerial. I was wondering if any of you computer wizards could help me out? (Excuse my poor computer terminology, but as you have prob already guessed, i'm not exactly a whiz when it comes to computers). Thank you
P.S My computer is a Dell Dimension 3000 and I am also having problems with my sound and graphic cards. (prob posted in another thread)
 
first of all install windows xp in ur pc. then install motherboard drivers, and install ur wireless card driver...then only u can access the wireless connection..
 
Unless you use a Dell recovery disk, you will have to find all other drivers on your own.
But this is normal..What about you video driver ? I usually start there first, then sound then Network driver..If i was you I would make a driver disk for next time..You can get all your driver from DELL..
 
Would do the same as installing the necessary OS...but the os itself would have the necessary drives(MBD)...
