Missing drivers after reinstall of Win 7

controlz · May 7, 2013

Reinstalled Win 7 64bit, after windows got corrupted. After the install device manager shows 4 missing drivers. I have done a lot of searching but cannot location the correct drivers.

The system is a Toshiba Satellite notebook C855D-S5320.

The drivers listed as missing by the device manger under other devices are:

Ethernet Controller
SM Bus Controller
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller
USB2.0-CRW

Thanks for the link but (call me stupid) I don't see any links that address the controller(s) or the USB2.0-CRW. I just went through each category. I suppose I could just try and guess and hope I am lucky.

The Ethernet controller will be under LAN (two listed)
USB Controller should be under USB (two listed)
You could try the Toshiba Service Station (under Toshiba in the drivers list) and that may help you locate the drivers you need.
I'm not sure but the Toshiba System Driver may help.

I got the Ethernet controller from the list your suggested.
Neither driver under USB is correct.
Service Station is a Win 8 product.
Toshiba System Driver does nothing.

I did download Driver Genius how I cannot auto download the drivers without paying. I will see if I can Google the list of drivers DG wants to install.

Did you re-install Win7 using the restore disks, or install it over the Windows 8 that the system seems to come with?

I have seen several threads about machines that come with Windows 8 and for which there are no Windows 7 drivers. Microsoft wants those machines to stay at windows 8.

You can try the geeky way. See SagaLout's post in http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/274306-45-video-controller-compatible-driver-windows-free-download

I reinstalled Win 7 using a copy of Windows from my own PC. The PC I was fixing was one of those that was bought from Office Depot and came with no CDs. In the end I purchased Driver Mender and fixed all the missing drivers fairly quickly.

Thanks to everyone for their help.
