I put a copy of XP SP2 on a fresh drive, and everything went well. The drivers were in, and I got online etcetc.
Then I decided I wanted to put the OS on a different, better drive.
I installed XP fresh onto the better drive, again, no hiccups, drivers went in etc. Then I noticed my Nforce network controller wasn't present.
My mobo is an ASUS NODSUM, Southbridge nForce 4 410/430 MCP, and usually I have the 1394 adapter local connection and then the NForce network controller local connection 2.
I wondered if having the other drive in the system was causing some sort of overlapping conflict, so I unhooked that drive and tried again; still, no detection of the Nforce controller.
