I booted windows 8 from a flash drive and in order to acess the interent it says i need to install a driver for your network adapter. My mother board came with a disk with drivers on it , but i dont have a drive to put it in.

Did you boot into Windows from the flash drive or did you install Windows from the flash drive?

If you booted from the flash drive, you're going to need to recreate your boot device with the necessary drivers slipstreamed into the ISO.
If you installed Windows from the flash drive, you need to use the computer you used to post this thread, go to your motherboard manufacturer's web site, download the necessary drivers onto a flash drive, transfer that drive over to your system and install from there.
