I own a Dell Studio XPS 9100 that I bought in 2011.
The Seagate Barracuda SATA 1TB hard drive died, and I replaced it with a Seagate Barracuda 2TB drive. The Windows 7 re-install went ok, but I couldn't connect to the net.
Ran device driver, and got errors on the network adapter and RAID.
I went to the Dell site for the 9100 and installed the drivers for the adapter and RAID.
No luck. I still get the "no adapter" error along with the "no cable connected" error.
I have read a lot of the messages on this problem and am stymied.
Does anyone have any idea how I can solve this once and for all and get on the internet?
