There may some very specific drivers for your machine. Should be available from the manufacturer website.

This isn't a dell but its Asus. Also it doesn't do much good since this laptop has no network drivers built into the windows 7 DVD. So no network connection. And getting drivers on here from another computer is a major hassle
I don't have a flash drive. I do have an external 500 gb drive in another room connected to the network on my router and maybe some cdrw or something. I just think this is a hassle. I also have to find the drivers for the lappy.
Edit.
Thanks much for the link.
If I get this working can I create a recovery partition and recovery DVD for free? No money.
Another Edit.
Got wifi drivers installed. Used a dvdr. Now will try to get needed drivers. But can I make a recovery DVD/partition and put the drivers into the windows 7 install DVD?
And truly thank you all so much.

You can put the downloaded drivers anywhere you want, but you can`t just add them to the install dvd.
Put them on a cd.
How come I get an email asking to order the recovery discs and its not in your post?
But ya I know it's possible but its money.
Slipstream the drivers ain't possible?
An email from who ?
Ya you can slipstream, if you know what you`re doing.
Just as easy to create a disk image and store it on dvd`s, but that costs money too.
The simplest and cheapest way is to create a partition on the laptop and store the disk image there, this is done after the pc is fully updated, programs installed, all drivers installed etc.
I get emails from the site when I get responses. You asked about my cousin ordering recovery discs. But that wasn't in your post here so I just wondered.
I would like to have a recovery partition but can't spend money. If I could get the hardware drivers and slip them into the windows 7 install DVD I would but don't know how.
That`s because I edited my post.
Just put the drivers on a cd, the only one he needs is the network drivers to get online, he can get the rest from the Asus website, and windows update.
