Wireless Drivers Issue?
So I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point and spent the better part of the last two days trying to figure out this issue with no success. What had happen is I had a issue with a hard drive on my ASUS G74x Laptop.. The sectors on the hard drive where bad an I knew that about a month after buying the computer. What I had done was copy the whole content of the the primary hard drive over to the second empty drive on the laptop. I had the original hard drive replaced and was able to boot my OS from the second hard drive I copied the content of my main drive to. I didn't have any issues at all would boot fine everything worked it didn't detect a USB devices at first but then I updated the drivers and was able to pick up my USB devices with no issues.
The only problem that I'm having at this point is that my wireless card isn't working.. It shows bottom right of my screen near the time/date shows the wireless signal bar with a red X over it. What I had done thinking that it wasn't picking up the drivers so i went to the ASUS site that supports my drivers and downloaded all that i could find in regards to the wireless. I tried installing them more than a few times and was unable to install the WIFI Intel drivers but the WIMAX drivers would install. Anytime that I tried to install the driver it would install or attempt to install i would hear a confirmation sound from the computer like the wireless was instated then i would hear a sound like it was disconnected then a message would follow on the install Error 2417? (not sure exactly what the number was) But then it would say rolling back installation and would give a message that it had failed. Any ideas? I'm burnt on this one and spent the last 12 hours beating myself up over not being able to figure it one out..

Specs of my machine can be found here: ASUS - Notebooks- ASUS G74SX
