    Hi guys!
    I know Idol and his gang will cheer up when they read this, but I really messed up the computer.
    Due to pc's network interface controller's crash, I had to reinstall the operating system at the ISP operators's suggestion. So, I reinstalled not once but twice, cuz the graphic driver is not supported.
    The other problem is when I reinstalled the OS, I did it without erasing the old OS, so now I have 3 OS installed.
    First OS has the graphic driver installed; that means I can watch movies, play games, but no internet. ((
    The second and the third OS hasn't the graphic driver installed; that means no movies, no games, browsing the internet.
    Now, if I delete 2 OS from the Local disk it won't show up when the pc will start?
    And second, if I delete the OS which has the graphic driver installed, will I be able to install it on the
    functional OS?

    It looks like you have a mish-mash of stuff in your hard drive. I'd just extract the working drivers from each Windows, format and reinstall.

    What do you mean by no internet on the 1st OS install? Do you need LAN and wireless drivers? If that's the only problem with that first OS install, you could just delete the other two and find/install the drivers. Otherwise, I'd do as anon said & reformat the whole partition & reinstall the OS. If you can't find the drivers, you can usually go on line and find them as long as you know the make and model of your machine. (Do this before you do anything else, of course)

    Try Driver Genius (latest version is 12, and readily available on IPT) to back up the working drivers you have, and will help locate the latest updates for what you need.

    Then, start fresh. BTW, remember to save your drivers on something that will not be formatted during the reinstall (like a thumb drive, or disc).

    Did I mention ?

    Obviously you don't know me nearly as well if you think you do if you think I actually take joy in other's misfortune.

    OK maybe mjmacky's.

    It has both, an antenna and a tiny little hole. Which one were you aiming at?

    You don't need a pre-installed OS to re-format your machine.

    Rest what everyone else said.

    1) I can't connect to the internet due to network interface controller's crash.
    2) Both original AMD graphics drivers and latest drivers version don't work, which makes me think it won't work until I won't install the graphics drivers on the first OS (I tried to uninstall the graphics drivers and than to delete the other two OS, but it gets me an error).

    First off, what kind of computer are we talking about here, & how old is it? What's the make & model? Desktop or laptop? And what type of network controller does it have? Do you mean Ethernet or a wireless adapter? I don't understand why you would reinstall the OS for a network adapter/driver problem. It almost sounds like it could be a hardware problem, but I'm probably missing something. More information is needed.

    You make a good point to look into, tef. If he has not been able to get those devices (assumably on his motherboard) to work in ANY of his (multiple ) Windows installs, there may be onboard failures going on.

    I do think he has said he's got various "success" with each of these components on the different installs, though.

    @dion: Tell us which hardware items are failing on ALL installs.
