I basically reformatted my PC to Windows 7 and I have a duel boot on my PC,
Unix and Windows, my Windows 7 doesn't see my Router and has no Local Area Connection
In the Network And Sharing Center, although my Unix sees my Router and Works
Perfectly with it, any ideas?

NIC driver needs updating.
Or, if your lucky, simply enabling in Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center or Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections

Have you checked to see if the network card is installed and enabled.
The reference is the location in Win7

And if say hypothetically it isn't how and where can I install it, and how do I check it? Also I don't think it's a problem with the card because my Unix sees it.

Different drivers between Windows and Unix ;)

Anyway, if it isn't displayed in the Network and Internet area then a trip to the machine's manufactures site would be in order.
Failing that the card maker would also do..

Here's a thought, he said PC but it could be a laptop. Maybe the issue is that the Unix partition had the Unix drivers good to go for the wireless chipset but not Windows.

Its actually a desktop PC, and it didn't work cause I am to lazy to download drivers, I used Everest Ultimate to figure out my Internet controller and went to the Intel website now I need to burn it on a disc but I am to lazy. At any rate thanks for all your help.

Use a USB stick, much easier. Good luck.
