    Install the WiFi Driver to which I have linked. But you don't have XP installed now.

    surely, silky should remove the W7 disk, and reboot with Ctrl+F11 to access the recovery partition and reinstall from there ??

    You should have chosen the disc before that step. You still have the instructions.
    Have to go out to dinner. Back later.
