Are you using the 64 bit drive, if you downloaded the 32 bit on 7 won't be able to read it.

usen the 32 bit os

Well i'm guessing its software if the pc isn't even seeing the card so give this driver a go,

hopefully it'll work, if not sorry, not sure what else it could be.

try putting the 64bit version on... for some reason it has a whole load of compatability improvements over 32bit

When you reinstalled your system did you install the chipset driver ? I had a similar problem and I forgot just this driver...

[Tydfil]

where can i get the chipset driver from?

[odingrey]

Your chipset is the hardware that came with your motherboard. So to get your chipset drivers, you need to figure out what flavor motherboard you have then go to the manufacturers website and update. You also should have a CD that came with it.

Also, Windows 7 tends to have a LOT of drivers built in. I think I've only ever had to update my drivers once with 3 different computers running Windows 7... excluding video card drivers, of course.
