Long time Lurker first time poster here.

I recently decided to clean reinstall my current computer. Read up on what to do and knowing the full ramifications went on with it. Not really a problem

Reformated, installed etc. everything was fine until I actually got into the newly installed OS.

I cant connect to the internet because I don't have the drivers for my network adapter. And I can't get the drivers because I can't connect to the internet. You see the problem here.

If anyone could help me out with this I would be exceedingly grateful

Specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom™II X6 1090T @ 3.2
HDD: 120GB Corsair Force Series SATA-III SSD
HDD2: 1TB SATA-II
MOTHERBOARD: * [CrossFireX] GigaByte GA-970A-D3 AMD 970 Socket AM3+ ATX
NETWORK: Onboard Gigabit LAN Network
VIDEO: AMD Radeon HD 6850
 
Your Motherboard will have come with a disk. If you bought the system prebuilt the company should have given you a disk and manual for your MB.
On that disk should be the drivers for your Gigabit NIC.
