Windows – NetWorking In Safe Mode Through Command Prompt
internetnetworkingwindows-vista
I am wondering if there is a way to access networking from within the normal safe mode instead of the safemode with networking. I can start things like live OS's and then access the internet but starting a live OS with preloaded networking sofware on boot will crash, same for safe mode with networking and normal safe mode.
I am on windows vista.

As a simple answer to your specific question, there is no way to enable networking from safemode without networking. When you boot to that version Windows disables all networking drivers, therefore your networking devices. It does seem like if you disable the ethernet in BIOS then it will work, but that is besides this question. The answer to this exact question is "No."
first impression, based on your question, suggests an issue with the networking. have you tried removing and/or disabling all network adapters in safe mode and booting normally with them uninstalled/disabled?
