Solve : Network Adapter/Ethernet Controller Needed?

Answer»

About a week ago I accidentally formatted everything on my comp/partition to downgrade my Vista to XP. Amongst the problem now all my drivers are all from Microsoft or just standard drivers so that means I missing some drivers so I don't have access to internet . I can't seem to find any Network adapter or ETHERNET controller for my system anywhere and I'm desperate for it. Any advice or link for a network Adapter/Ethernet controller would be helpful thanks .
ALSO info about my system should be in a attachment or linked: http://shorttext.com/jky17m0u5r since it takes up lots of space for this post.

Thanks!  Now I have internet on my XP also 1 last request may you please link me to my motherboard's download area so I could apply maybe bios update or any other update to my drivers that were integrated with it thanks. If you FORGOT what my motherboard is here is the link:Motherboard Specifications, MS-7525 (Boston)Unfortunately, there is very little there:  http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=3752888#N144
There is rarely a need to update a BIOS...and i do mean rarely.

Stop listening to those BS "driver finder apps" if the machine is running fine.
