Win XP/HP Laptop driver problem

Hi,

I have an HP Pavilion DV1000. Last week I began getting a BSOD on it. I don't recall the exact error but I researched it and all forums said to do a repair install. I tried that but I got an error with that too. So i decided to do a fresh install.

With the fresh install of Windows XP I finally got to my desktop again. The next step was finding the drivers. I went to the HP site, found the drivers for the dv1000 but I can't get my ethernet card recognized. I tried every ethernet driver on the dv1000 driver site but none of them get my wireless card or wired card working.

I tried to find out what model my network cards are but that ended up impossible as well. I used everest to try to get all my hardware info but the network cards came up as

Ethernet Controller [NoDB] PCI
Network Controller [NoDB] PCI

I am at a loss. Any ideas? Any more info you need?

Thank you

 

I am running Windows XP Pro SP2

As far as model code goes on the actual machine it just says HP Pavilion dv 1000. Where would I find the specific model? I have a serial and Product number that I found on the bottom of the machine

product #: et738ua#aba
serial #: cnf6141l5s

thanks

 

You were right. I got access to the laptop again and found the real model number and its all fixed.
Thanks for the help.
