After Clean Install Drivers for Network Adapters Missing
After making a clean installation of Windows 7 Pro 64-bit SP1 to a Samsung SSD 850 PRO I booted my laptop. The system started but I could not create an internet connection. I went to Device Manager and it said the drivers for the network adapters were not found. I shut down, reinstalled the old hard drive and restarted. It connected to the Internet. I ran Device Manager and found that the following network adapters listed and working:I went to the Windows/System32 folder and to the Windows/System32/Drivers folder, on the old hard drive and found the drivers that were running the adapters. I copied them to a USB FD. Then I shut down, removed the old hard drive and install the new SSD. I rebooted the system, inserted the USB FD containing the drivers and copied them into Windows/System32/<Drivers> on the new SSD. Then I rebooted the system.
- Intel, 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection
- Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6250N AGN
- Intel Centrino WiMAX 6250
- Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter
- Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter #2
This did not solve the problem. What should I do?
