Dude, the missing driver was for the network adapter. Has there been some massive breakthrough in home networking technology in the past 12 months that I'm unaware of?
Also, I wasn't bitching because XP didn't work, I was bitching because the built in vista recovery wouldn't work, and I was without an operating system period.
Some of us have lives and don't spend all of our time in our mother's basement taking apart our computers. Get over yourself.
