Reformat School computer. windows was to corrupt to repair had to reformat but the windows disc did not have drivers that would run the ether net card so I can not get online to update other software

I had the same problem recently, what I did was remove the ethernet card then boot up the computer and then power it down, what this does is saves all the settings. Then I reinstalled the ethernet card and did not plug the ethernet cord in yet, after the computer was completely booted up then plug in the cable. if the window pops up asking to install the driver then click on install from a specific location, then try the one that says I will choose the driver, and look for network adaptor and try it and see if it works. if not then see if you can find a model number on the card and I can probably locate the driver for you.
