[Solved] Ethernet Controller Driver Missing after Windows 7 Install By Camilla Mo - Last Updated: 2 years ago Network issues After you do a complete fresh install of Windows 7, if you cannot access internet, it’s most probably that network drivers are removed. I have a Lenovo G570 machine running 64-bit Windows 7 (Home Premium). The machine got into a state where it couldn't boot properly (I'd get the splash screen and then the screen would go dark, other than I could see and move the mouse). I find that Windows doesn't recognize a number of drivers, and I have no network connectivity.

Windows 7 Network Controller Drivers
The hardware driver support in Windows 7 is just fantastic, especially with consumer hardware with more and more companies submitting their drivers for official certification from Microsoft than ever before. This not only means driver support on the Windows 7 installation DVD, but also through Windows Update. You can still find computers however for which the driver support is lacking, my own laptop, the Dell M6600 is a great example of this where the drivers for the graphics (both internal Intel and nVidia), USB3, biometrics, touch-panel, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and SD Card reader are not installed automatically by Windows, nor by Windows Update. Each one requires a driver download from the Dell website (which is annoying!)
So how do you back up the drivers in your Windows installation and how can you use these? In all versions of Windows the drivers are stored in the C:WindowsSystem32 folder in the sub-folders Drivers, DriverStore and if your installation has one, DRVSTORE. These folders contain all the hardware drivers for your operating system. In the folder location, C represents the drive on which you have Windows installed, this may be a different letter on your system.

You can simply copy these folders out to seperate storage (DO NOT MOVE THEM) such as an external USB drive or Pen Drive. When time comes to reinstall the drivers you can copy the folders back.
Now there are a couple of ways to reinstall the drivers. The easiest way is to simply restart the PC when the driver folders have been copied back to see if Windows automatically detects drivers for uninstalled hardware. This is possible, but won't be the case for all your hardware.
To install drivers for the missing hardware you need to open the Device Manager. You can do this by typing Device Manager into the search box in the Start Menu. You will see all your uninstalled drivers highlighted with a small yellow warning triangle icon. You need to Right-Click on each one and select Update Driver. Because the correct drivers are already in the drivers folders on your computer, telling Windows to find the drivers automatically should always install the correct one. You may however, in some cases, have to tell the Device Manager which folder to look for. You can either point it directly to one of the two drivers folders, or just at the System32 folder; making sure you tick the box 'include subfolders'.
There is an important caveat with this. The drivers for 64 bit (x64) and 32 bit (x86) versions of Windows are usually different. This means that if you copy x86 drivers into an x64 copy of Windows; or vice-versa, they will not install. Windows will recognise them as being incorrect. You cannot use this method therefore when migrating your system from the 32-bit version of Windows to the 64-bit version when, for example, adding more memory to your PC.

You CAN use this method to migrate drivers between Windows Vista and Windows 7 (and back again) as both operating system share the same driver model, but again not between x86 and x64 builds. You CAN'T use this to migrate Windows XP drivers to Vista or Windows 7 however as Windows XP uses an older driver model and the hardware drivers for XP are not compatible with the newer versions of Windows.
