Drivers for LAN connection missing!
Okay first of all I am using a HP Pavilion 8660c. Just did a format, and now I cannot download ANY drivers because I don't have my internet driver to access updated drivers.
In my network adapters, there are;
RAS Async Adapter (apparently an old school 56k)
WAN Miniport (PPPOE, L2TP, IP and PPTP)
Direct Parallel
Packet Scheduler Miniport
But in my device manager, there are no network adapters displayed. Only 'misc' items with a yellow question mark:
? - Ethernet Controller
? - PCI Input Device
? - PCI Communication Controller
(and a few other, but I think these are the ones that need drivers)
I have downloaded a few driver packs supposedly with the drivers for my WAN Miniports. But I ran the .exe and all it did was extract files to my C:
I tried putting the sys files that were extracted in my system32/drivers folder with the other sys files in hopes of it somehow working. no luck.
Is the only way to install a driver through a CD/Floppy? I only have access to a flash drive at the moment to transfer files. My CD-RW's won't erase. When I try to use a floppy on my formatted computer, it just says the floppy needs to be formatted. And when I try to do that, it says it cannot be formatted.
Any Ideas? I've been running around on the web for a few days now, night and day... I am so lost.
