NIC Woes

[Muzzle]

Alright, I am getting pretty frustrated, and I hope one of you all can help me. I have an Abit QuadGT mobo, and recently my brand new WD raptor decided to die. So I RMA'd it, and just got my new one. After re-installing everything (windowsXP pro), I was having a problem with some razer drivers, and went into the registry to delete keys as instructed by the razer site. Apparently, I screwed something up and deleted a key dealing with my onboard NIC. After much gnashing of teeth, and many attempts at reinstalling, I said screw it, and wiped the drive for a fresh install. However, my NIC is not there still... Anyone know what I could have done wrong? I have tried reinstalling the drivers etc, nothing seems to work. The BIOS doesn't see it as a problem, it is enabled and POST shows no errors, but XP just doesn't see it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What bios are you on? I know tehre were bios issues with the original bios. Try using one of the new beta bioses.
