From HP Manual :
1. Back up all data from your hard disk.
2. Connect the AC adapter to the computer.
3. Insert the bootable Recovery CD in the CD-ROM drive.
4. Reboot and, when you see the HP logo, press F2.
5. Select the CD-ROM drive as the first boot device, exit from the BIOS Setup utility, and reboot.

Hmmm....nothing at HP site. That's integrated ethernet controller, so we may have to reinstall chipset driver.

Download System Information for Windows: http://www.gtopala.com/siw-download.html to your Desktop.
Get SIW Standalone (English-Only).
Double click on siw.exe to run the program.
Go File>Create Report File>HTML
Save the file to known location.
Zip the file, and attach it to your next reply.
