Win XP ReInstall cannot find network card
Hi,
I just had to reinstall a new hard drive and WinXP on a Toshiba laptop. Everything went as planned except it did not find the network card as there are no Network Connections listed. Thus I can't figure out how to install the network card. I know it works as it was connecting fine earlier on the broken hard drive. I don't know how to go find software to install drivers etc.. because it's a laptop and I just can't open it up and look. Any ideas on how I can do this?

Toshiba Satellite A45-S151. I did not have the recovery CD's. Just Installed XP Home Edition from a copy I had never used. When I try to add a connection it never works, stays empty.
