Network Card Drivers needed

Hi, here is the situation that I am:

I tried to install both Windows 7 and Windows XP on my hard drive, with Windows 7 being the original installation, so I created a separate partition and install XP.

Everything went smoothly, except Windows XP does not detect my Ethernet card.  (I hope that it's just that I need the right... drivers)

I can't access my install of Windows 7, because Windows XP does not start in Windows 7.  So I'm stuck using my old computer, which also has Windows XP 32-bit.

Here is the information for my HP computer:

Model: p6203w

Windows XP Professional 32-bit

I'm not sure what is the Ethernet card, but I think that it can be found with the model number.  I don't know where to look.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Hello CotyRSKL, I checked the specifications of your system, and it shows the Realtek RTL8201N ethernet device.

The Realtek RTL8201N is what is called a device driver. In other words, it works via the chipset of the motherboard.

Your chipset is Nvidia GeForce6150SE nForce 430. This chipset driver package is the software that should allow the Realtek network device works under Windows XP x 86 (32 bit).

Here is the link where the Nvidia GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 chipset drivers.

Just go on the linked site, click the primary download site, accept the license agreement and download these drivers on your Windows XP partition boot and install these drivers.

Your ethernet network device should now work.
