After the initial attempt to upgrade, I rebooted the machine and attempted the upgrade from the beginning. The upgrade procedure won't recognize the ethernet card. I tried to boot (without the install disk) and it would start to boot but then hang, as if a file were corrupted. The upgrade procedure isn't recognizing my e-net card, can anyone help?? Thanks Dave
