I had a main hard drive crash. So, I bought a new hard drive and re-installed Windows XP Pro and also the GA-M59SLI-S5 motherboard drivers. The motherboard drivers are supposedly the latest drivers, which were downloaded from through the Gygabyte website. My DSL internet connection has now slowed down significantly. I tested the connection by plugging the cable into my laptop computer, and found that the speed is OK on the laptop. Therefore, the problem resides with my desktop computer. Is this a hardware or software driver issue?
The Device Manager shows the following under Network Adapters: 1394 Net Adapter, NVIDIA nForce 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet, NVIDIA nForce 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet #2; and the following under NVIDIA Network Bus Enumerator: NVIDIA Network Bus Enumerator, NVIDIA Network Bus Enumerator.
The Driver File Details for NVIDIA nForce 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet are: C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\NVENETFD.sys (file version 1.00.02.06789) C:\WINDOWS\system32\fdco1.dll (file version 1.1) C:\WINDOWS\system32\fdco1ins.dll (file version 1.1)
The Driver File Details for NVIDIA Network Bus Enumerator are:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\bdco1.dll (file version 1.0)
C:\WINDOWS\system32\bdco1ins.dll (file version 1.0)
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\nvnetbus.sys (file version 1.00.01.06789) C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\nvnrm.sys (file version 1.00.02.06789) C:\WINDOWS\system32\nvconrm.dll (file version 1,3,3,27)
Are these correct for my system? Or is there some other problem?

The fastest speed is the slowest path on the network.
right click on the my network place.
right click on the NIC local connection
click on configuration at the right of the connect using (NIC)
second tab, "advanced" check the speed & duplex- it should be auto, but you can change it. do not recommend it.
check resources- make sure it has no conflect with any other device.
if that doesn't help. uninstall the NIC driver and try to find a older driver. Sometime that works better, don't ask me, but it works.

it seems that correct network drivers are missing. Easiest way is to download the drivers from manufacturors site, transfer them with USB stick and install.
You need the Intel Pro 100 driver for XP. Go to the following web link at Intel: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/highlights/network/pro100ve and download the driver. Copy it to a flash drive. Put the flash drive into your PC that needs the LAN driver and double-click it to install it.
Find a USB memory-stick, and find a computer with Internet access and an available USB port.
Put the memory-stick into the USB slot.
Browse to ACER's web-site, and select your specific model of the Aspire line, and select Windows XP, and select network-controllers, and download the device-drivers, and copy them onto the memory-stick,.
Walk the memory-stick to your Acer, and install the device-driver.
When you install a new harddrive, it has no Operating System on it. Windows XP and Windows Vista, are examples of an Operating System.
Each laptop manufacturer, has their own system of changing a laptop harddrive. Some allow you to press a key or two, to put the laptop in a state where it will save the basic Operating System files, and when you install the new harddrive, it will transfer them over to it.
Some laptop manufacturers do have this option.
You either have to take the harddrive out, install it into an external enclosure for a harddrive, (Uses a USB cable) Then attach the external enclosure via the USB cable, to another computer, and use a 'mirror' imaging program to save the Operating System to that computer.
Then the new harddrive is installed in that external enclosure, and the Operating System is 'mirrored' over to it.
Just information for you, as you cannot do this now with a crashed harddrive. Your option now, is to buy a genuine copy of the Operating System you had on the laptop, and install it. Not what you wanted to hear, huh?
You need to buy whatever version of Windows XP it had, (WinXP Home or WinXP Pro), or Windows Vista. If it was Windows Vista, I suggest getting at least the Windows Vista Home Premium version.
I personally prefer Xp over Vista. Tigerdirect.com, and Newegg.com, have these. Look for Software>Operating Systems.
OR, you can simply put Ubuntu Linux on it for free.
Install the XP Pro first, install the necessary drivers etc. Then after that load the other disk for windows XP Home install it choose the drive to install the OS, install the necessary drivers etc. you will see two operating system while going to boot section of the computer.
Installing Windows XP on a SATA hard drive is not a straight-forward task as Windows XP does not recognize the SATA drive. In order to install operating systems such as Windows XP on SATA drives, the latest SATA drivers are required.Download SATA drivers for the motherboard from the website and integrate them with the XP installation CD using software such as nLite. SATA drivers can also be installed as third party drivers; you will be prompted during the installation process. Without proper SATA drivers, installing Windows XP on a SATA hard drive is not possible as SATA mode would have to be disabled in the BIOS to continue with the installation.
Installing Windows XP on a Serial ATA hard drive is not an easy task, because the system does not recognize SATA drivers at startup. Windows XP Pro SP2 fares a little better with SATA drivers, but here is what can be done in cases where the driver is not recognized.
Right-click the My Computer icon and select Manage, then go to the Device Manager in the list on the left and find the Network Adapter from the list on the right, right-click Network Adapter and select Uninstall. When you reboot, XP should find the Adapter and reinstall it automatically. Another reboot may be required.
If it still will not connect, go to the NIC Manufacturer's website and download the driver to removable media. The Driver Update option can be accessed in the Device Manager, but this time select Properties when you right-click the Network Adapter, and go to the Driver tab.
If you are sure it is a motherboard problem relating to the on board ethernet connection, purchase a PCI slot ethernet card and see if using the card manufacturers drivers are better than the motherboard ethernet drivers.
Although i'm not sure how a slow connection is the motherboard problem, it maybe that it's SP2 thats the problem.
Have you checked the driver that is used for the onboard ethernet connection, it maybe you need to re-install original motherboard ethernet driver you got with it.
Check out any hardware that doesnot supports windows xp. remove that and reload the os. it works.
or
remove all the additional addon cards like modem, network card, printers etc., (just maintain only hard disk, cd rom and floppy drive)then install the os. once os installs add the components one by one to so that the os will detect one by one
cheers!
