So I just reformatted my windows 8 laptop back to windows 7 and within the reformat I lost all my drivers. Now I went to re-install them only to realise that I dont even have the basic network drivers to get internet access onto the laptop as well as no USB drivers to install off a USB. The laptop also has no optimal drive so using a CD is out of the question as well. Any ideas, I'm stumped? The laptop is a HP Envy 15 J101TU. Thanks

Edit: The USB drives are giving power when I plug a USB in but the PC isn't recognizing them.

I thought they would work but they are not recognizing any USB device that I plug in to them, tried with 3 different USB's now. They seem to be giving power and lighting up the USB but as far as recognition goes I'm getting nothing.
