I had to replace my hard drive and reload the OS, drivers and various other
software. Now that I have done that my wireless connection is nonexistent. I
can connect directly through the Ethernet cable, but even the possibility of
a wireless connection doesn't show up in my network connections folder.
Everything I read in the Help file tells me to click on "wireless network" in
the connections folder so I am a bit miffed. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Did you reload the driver for the wireless card ??

If not, go to the manufacturer's website and download the latest driver,
then install to see if it makes any difference.

Hi - simply unplug the adapter while the computer is on and insert it again so Windows will recognise and install it.
