Troubles with new laptop  

Alright guys, so here's my deal.

I bought a new Lenovo IdeaPad Y570 from the lenovo website to replace my old computer. I backed up all my files onto an external hd to transfer over. When I got my laptop, it was supposed to have W7 Home premium 64-bit installed, but when I booted it, it said something like "windows could not be installed, please restart your computer" and kept doing that. So I downloaded the Windows 7 ISO and burned to a disc. I reformatted the primary partition and installed windows. I can boot into windows now, however I believe it is without drivers. I am unable to connect to a wireless network because it won't detect any, as well as a wired network. can anyone offer me some assistance?

I would have been more than a little upset about it not booting up but it seems you're past that now,

Have you tried the drivers from here,

Lenovo Support - Drivers & Software (US)

You can put them on a flash drive and transfer them to your laptop.

I downloaded a wireless driver and it seemed to do absolutely nothing when I ran it. I'll try looking more in depth.

Yeah, it's really not doing anything. I installed the driver to my computer and ran the setup and it just sits there.

I see three different wireless drivers.

Look in device manager to see the name and make sure you are getting the right one.

the only network adapters I see in Device Manager are Bluetooth devices.

You may have to try the chipset drivers first.

I installed the chipset driver from Lenovo a few minutes ago and restarted, it seems to have not made any progress for me.
