Need help with Ethernet controller in Vista and Windows 7
Hello all I have a ECS A740-M motherboard with AMD Athlon 64. I have installed Vista Ultimate x64 version in HDD 1 and Windows 7 Beta x64. Everything was working fine and all of a sudded a couple of days ago, the computer wouldnt boot Vista or Windows 7. It starts to boot and hangs. In safe mode, I found the Ethernet controller Atherros L1 gigabit Lan was the problem. I uninstalled it and on booting, it booted up normally without the Ethernet connection. On installing the driver, again both wont boot. I reinstalled Windows 7 and still there is no change in results. I have SP1 installed for Vista and I cannot even uninstall SP1 as it is not displayed in installed updates under Add remove program. Tried all known ways to uninstall SP1 and failed. The lan connector is onboard. I tried unistalling the Atheros Ethernet connector and added PCI netgear Ethernet controller and I could not install it as i could not find drivers for it. Any help is greatly appreciated. -- Hans23

Need help with Ethernet controller in Vista and Windows 7
Hi
Lack of drivers or none working NIC should have such a dramatic effect. I would check carefully the Motherboard, and the Hard Drive. Jack (MS, MVP-Networking) "Hans23" wrote in message ...
