I have the Netgear wifi adapter installation CD but when I install the driver and then it tells me to connect the adapter to the PC I keep getting a message telling me Neatgear adapter couldn't be found even though it's connected to the PC. So, I installed the Win 7 but like I said I'm unable to connect to the net. So, there was no point of trying to clone the drive any more and decided to use another spare HDD to install a new Win OS (I have a Win 7 CD). Unfortunately, the drive just went downhill all of a sudden and lost more than half of the programs and files I was trying to keep (by cloning). Since you just reinstalled, there is no reason to clone or make an image of the computer, but again, if Crystal Disk Info SMART info says Caution then the drive is failing and needs to be replaced. Also try it on another computer if it doesn't come up, it may have failed. If the Netgear adapter is not showing, restart the computer and try it in another USB port. If you download from another computer, then save the Setup file to a USB Flash drive and transfer it to the troubled computer. Go to the Netgear Download sight Download Center | Downloads and Documentation | NETGEAR type in your make and model #Īnd install the driver. If you can get online with an Ethernet Cable, or on another internet computer. In the Device Manager, Expand Network Adapters, is your WiFi Adapter listed here? How about under Universal Serial Bus Controllers? If there is a yellow mark next to it, it needs drivers. Are we speaking of the same PC? If you just installed Windows 7, then there are no personal files or apps that you need to backup so there is no reason to clone the drive? Or am I missing something?Īs far as your USB adapter is concerned in Windows 7, go to Search or Run and type devmgmt.msc and press Enter.
