Hey all!
I have a Dell XPS 1702x and reverted from Windows 7 to Windows 8 by installing Windows 7 over 8 via CD. I was originally going to restore from the recovery drive, but it was no longer visible. The installation of 7 worked fine, but I noticed that I couldn't get internet access.
No problem, I thought, and inserted my Dell Driver CD. However, now all the network adapters won't install or give some error message. I also can't get Windows 7 to recognize the card, and plugging in a hard connection won't work either (but it oddly still recognizes the bluetooth card?)
I noticed that there is still a recovery partition while messing around.
What's the best route of action here, given the Dell drivers will not work?
