After fresh installing Windows7 on my SSD my hdmi monitor gets no input, my Nvidia gpu is not on the device manage list and there are no network drivers. When I boot from my hdd everything is fine. I hope I am not missing something simple but appreciate any help.

So boot up to the working OS download the drivers(chipset, gpu, audio, network, etc) and put them on a usb key or burn them to a disk, or just copy them to the SSD. Reboot to the new install and install the drivers.

I should have but no I assumed there was no point since I have no network drivers and no disks with the drivers on them.
