easy question

Hello guys,
I recently had to reformat my laptop. I deleted the partitions and
reinstalled a new Operating System. Problem now is that none of the drivers
are installed on this computer, and I am unable to go online on my laptop to
get the windows update for it because there isnt a driver installed for the
ethernet port, so I basically dont have internet access on the laptop. I do
have internet access to another computer though, I was wondering if anyone
knew what I should do?

Thanks a lot!

If you go to the website of the manufacturer of your laptop it's highly
probable you will be able to download all the drivers you
need.....interestingly, when I did a clean install of Windows XP on my
Toshiba Tecra 9000 (which wasn't designed for XP), XP had all the drivers I
needed except the video......
