On my Gateway notebook WinXP the hard drive couldn't be fixed so I got another one, put it in and put the system disk that came with the laptop in to install my OS, now I can't connect to the internet.

It's as if the notbook doesn't know I even can use wireless. Before the whole problem I was able to detect and connect to any wireless network in range, but now it wants me to connect with an ethernet or phoneline. How can I fix this?

For reference other comps in the home: Gateway notebook Win7, Gateway desktop WinXP

Thank you.

The software did nothing but when I checked the BIOS on startup in the advanced menu it says wireless LAN [restore] but it's grayed out and I can't highlight it.

The only disk that came with my system is what I put in to reinstall the OS on this new hdd, so what can I do?

Ok, just kidding I fixed it, it needed a device driver which I found and downloaded onto a flashdrive then installed it on the system, only problem now is that I can't find/install intel pro wireless.

If you used a original XP install disk and not a restore disk, then you need to install the board drivers.
You might be missing others also.
