    Boot off the DVD or USB and do the following

    Press enter when you see the screen that says Press any key to boot from cd or DVD…( image below )



    When you get to this screen ( image below )



    Press Shift and F10 . You will get a command prompt window . It should open up to X:\Sources . In there input these commands and press enter after each line .
    Code:
    DISKPART
    LIST DISK
    SELECT DISK 0
    CLEAN
    CREATE PRIMARY PARTITION 
    SELECT PARTITION 1 
    ACTIVE 
    FORMAT FS=NTFS LABEL="Windows 7 OS" QUICK 
    ASSIGN LETTER=C
    EXIT
    EXIT
    Back on the image above press Install Now . Check the I accept the license terms box and click on Next. Click on the Custom (advanced) option. Then choose
    Disk 0 Partition 1: Window (C:\) and click Next

    When it reboots don't press any keys it will continue on its own

    I've installed windows now, but it won't find my wireless or wired networks. It says I will need to download the drivers of the internet to do this, how do I do this when I have no internet on it, and where would I find them? I have a Toshiba satellite C660-220 if that helps
