Hello,

Well, that device will not be available for use in your system until you 
get it to re-install. I'm pretty sure there is a way to tell Windows to 
search for new hardware, but I'm booted into Ubuntu right now so I can't 
check to see where it is and my memory isn't that good. Sorry.

You could try to roll back your system to it's state before you removed 
the device with System Restore, if you have it turned on. It's turned on 
by default, so if you don't know if it's turned on it probably is. Here 
is a link to instructions for using System Restore. -

I was led to believe that it would reinstall. This device is no longer listed in Device Manager. What effect will this have on my system? Also, could this be a problem with the system board? I recently installed a replacement system board before this event took place.
