MY computer (not the one I am currently using) had
windows 2000 installed on it. There was some problem, and
when I booted up the computed it said operating system
not found. So I after trying a few things I inserted the
Windows 2000 disc to reinstall. The old system files from
W2K were still on my hard drive after I reinstalled W2K
and booted up. I no longer have my network card
information and do not know what type of card it is or
where to get the driver. I was wondering if where the
driver was saved in my old W2K system files so that I can
install the driver from there. P.S. Surprising as it may
seem, I cannot find the name of the card on the NIC so
please don't suggest that I take it out and look at it.
Thanks.

Provided you still have the complete old installation, the old drivers might
be in \winnt\inf and \winnt\system32\drivers. The inf folder is hidden so
you will have to make the change in exlorer to view hidden files.
