WiFi network adapter issue

Traykuil

I have an Aspire 6930G.  Original OS was Windows Vista.  I upgraded to Windows 7 with no issues.  Eventually decided to install a larger hard drive.  No problem with installation and continued to use Windows 7, but since the hard drive switch wireless does not work.  Checked divice manager and the driver (Intel R WiFi 5100) is there and it says it iw working properly.  Have tried reinstalling the driver several times, but when I try to go wireless, no networks are detected and trouble shooter says that there is an issue with the network adapter.  Ethernet cable functions normally.  

 

If I put the original hard drive back in, wireless works fine.  My guess is there is a software problem or a driver problem, but I can't pin it down.  There is someting on old drive and not on the new drive that is allowing teh wireless to work properly.  Any suggestions or ideas?
