I have a Dell mini 9 that came with ubuntu and I uninstalled it and got
windows but i cant get it to connect to the internet I downloaded all the
drivers and I just want to get the wireless to work so I can connect to my
router. There's not a single place in my network places everything is blank.

Presumably you installed the wireless card driver? Is the card shown as
working in Device Manager?
Is your wireless secure? Did you set up the connection with the password?

Err second question - why did you buy a machine with an OS on it that you
didn't want to use, if you are obviously not very proficient at changing
OSs?

Hi
Dell provides Wireless Card Drivers for Windows XP.
Look at this page under No.6 Network.
http://support.dell.com/support/down...&catid=&impid=
Before you try again installing the drivers make sure that there is No Ghost
entry in the Device Manger.

This is not a reply to your question, but a question of my own.

I also have a Dell Mini 9, I also want to reinstall the OS, but there is no
CD in the Mini 9, would you please, if you don't mind, tell me step by step
how do you reinstall the OS.

If an external CD is required, would the external CD be "automatically"
recognized by the re-installation process all the way from start to finish?

Would you set the boot device as a "CD" or "removable device"?

Thanks.

Charles.

You said you downloaded the drivers, did you install them?
