Installation issue, problem with network controller
I hope someone can help me as I am absolutely baffled as to what to do next. I was following solution 2 in this tutorial and I have got as far as step 5 (had to create a slipstream disk but that seemed to work). Windows XP installs and then restarts but after posting it gets stuck at "Verifying DMI Pool Data.......E.....". The letter "E" is highlighted in red and there is a red smiley face next to the "10EC" in the network cntrlr Vendor column in the PCI Devices Listing. That being said, I recently installed the usual windows 7 updates on my other system and my wireless card suddenly stopped working. Digging around I discovered that it was now unsupported, wonderful! I wonder if this has anything to do with the issue. Regardless, I cannot get past this screen into Windows 7 or XP now! Recovery console was absolutely no help and my copy of Windows 7 was a download (student edition via digital river) so I can't just pop the disk in like I can with my XP disk. Any suggestions anyone please, very very stuck.
