I received the "NTLDR is missing, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to continue". I couldn't fix this, so I ended up reinstalling Windows XP. This replaced my old Windows, so it filled in the missing NTLDR file I was missing, however I am back at square one. I have no internet access anymore, and I am not sure which, if any, drivers I will need to install. I am on a custom built desktop, with a wired connection, to a Linksys router. I get these annoying Windows error messages with everything I do. I try to set up Windows Firewall, and it just says "Windows cannot start the Firewall service". Everything was working prior to my install of XP. I have another computer with internet access, so I can download the needed drivers to switch over on a flashdrive. Thank you so much for your time and help!
use a program like Everest Home, Belarc or SIW.
They will help identify the drivers you need.Some HELP in posting on Computing.net plus free progs and instructions Cheers

SIW download site.
http://www.gtopala.com/siw-download...
Get the freestanding version and just put it on a flash drive or floppy. You can run SIW right from the flash drive. Write down the information for the motherboard model and if you can't find a link post back here for help.

So I ran the program, and I am completely lost! It's displaying several drivers, but I don't know which one to look for, for my internet connection.... Thanks again!

SIW isn't going to show you any drivers. Look under the motherboard listing and post back the exact model it lists.

Wesker13, try Everest home as you said it was a home made PC.
It should list the drivers you need:

Everest is obsolete software. Hasn't been updated in years. SIW is way better anyway.
The progression was Aida32 morphed into Everest, which then went retail as some other name.

I understand that OtheHill, BUT it still locates the drivers, especially on older PC's, I use it all the time as well as the others I mentioned earlier

seems to be the only board that is even close to the model number you posted.
"I am on a custom built desktop". maybe the guy who built it still has the CD, that came with the board?? I give the customer the original, and keep a copy for myselflarry

The DFI site is up and working but I can't find that model listed in their list for available drivers. I know that is a good model number. I just don't know why they don' seem to be supporting it. Below is a link to contact them. There are reviews of the board available. Based on an AMD chipset.

If you want to get the drivers individually you can use SIW to look at each hardware component and then find the driver for that.
Start with the network adapter.
