I've reinstalled my dell notebook to windows 7 now Ethernet adapter, network adapter and all network pci adapters not detected . Please help.

What network controllers on the laptop? Or what's the exact model of the laptop?

 

[Colif]

what model is it?

can you copy drivers for it onto a USB so you can install them?

 

[captaincharisma]

sounds like windows 7 didn't have any drivers that supported your laptop out of the box. you will have to get your model number and go to dell's website and download all the drivers for it.

must not have used the recovery disk or partition for that laptop.

I Googled and was shown in YouTube to type in REGEDIT... from there to click into network.. and delete off ipconfig.. but However I couldnt even find ipconfig in my network file.. was previously auto upgraded to windows 10.. I had it reinstalled to window 7 pro SP 1 64-BIT

superman0902, that won't work till drivers are installed.

 

[superman0902]

unfortunately it sounds like you will have to get access to another computer to download the drivers onto something like a USB drive

 

[alexoiu]

A friend/neighbor with a computer would help by saving the needed files on a stick.

 

[superman0902]

Ffg7, the disk is original operating system from dell Microsoft original reinstallation DVD

 

[ffg7]

that disk is for this computer you are working on? it should have installed all the drivers then including your network adapters. browse the disk to see if can find a folder called drivers & if so then look for network adapters in that folder.

 

[superman0902]

Yeah I guess I need to dl those info you've guys provided and reload into my dell notebook..I'll try it and get U guys updated again. My sincere grateful appreciation and thanks for all the info guys..it's not gonna work without any drivers installed I guess.. so to summarize.. I'll download those respective drivers and have it reloaded into my.lappie from there I do a reinstallation using the dell DVD?

 

[superman0902]

Ffg7, I'm viewing the disk content now.. it's suppose to be in network folders?

 

[ffg7]

just download to a folder called drivers that you'll make in the downloads folder. install those files 1 by 1 without using the dell dvd disk if that disk is not for that laptop. as you are missing your network drivers means you are also missing all your other drivers too I presume? I presume so on the last part of your post.
