@Fred not too sure on the rfkill. I know there is an FN and F2 button to activate the wireless but these are already configured in the BIOS....auto.

rfkill not a problem if it connected after install, otherwise try 'rfkill list' as root (or sudo) to see if anywhere wireless is blocked by a switch. Did you update via wired connection first? What does 'fdisk -l' give? If you see an NTFS partition then XP is still there just not picked up by grub yet.

Fred.

I did update by wireed connection first. I'm not that familiar with "rfkill" command or how to run it if you use terminal or not. The "fdisk" is a nother one is it use in terminal command? When the boots up I don't anything except the Mint OS and several selections run such as Generic Mint and so on.

I would like thank everyones feedback and help regarding my many issues with Linux Mint 17. However, I've decided to do a complete reinstall on both computers using again the Mint Mat 17 and Zorin 9 OS's. Well, once I did this I immediately search for the drivers which I could not find so I followed the instruction of this website for the drivers and that fixed the problem. Got my wireless working every hting is fine so far.

Thanks all,
David
