I'm sure you see these threads all the time. However, I haven't found any threads that can help my situation.
I've restored my Toshiba Satellite C75D-B7304 to factory settings. Which took longer than usual, so I decided to shut it down and go to sleep for the night. That's when my problems began, but I've practically fixed all those issues, and now have Windows 8.1 as my new OS. Just thought I'd fill you guys in on how my previous Windows OS became corrupt.
Until now I've been using Ubuntu, but I felt lost without Windows, so I used a USB to burn an ISO onto, and reclaim my OS as Windows. Installation went smooth, no problems at all until I got to the desktop. It claimed I don't have any Network Connections, and I could only connect to the internet through an Ethernet Cable, which is weird since I've never encountered this before. Here's where I found out the reason as to why this was happening..
In the Device Manager, I found that under Other Devices, all of my drop down options were corrupt, and my drivers were missing. The only ones that are corrupt in all Device Manager are, Network Controller, PCI Device, PCI, Encryption/Decryption Controller, Unknown Device, and another Unknown Device.
I've tried to uninstall one and Update Driver Software under the action tab. Just installs the same corrupted... I don't know what to call it since it says it's missing a driver. To be precise, for all of them it says 'The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28) There are no compatible drivers for this device.' I've tried to update the driver but no luck.
Is there any way I can download the drivers on this computer, and burn them onto my USB then plug it into my computer and update it manually? If so, I don't know which drivers to install though I've been on Toshiba's website. Any help will be much appreciated, and I can post whatever info is needed to get this done, or fill in any information gaps you might need.
Also I'm very sorry if I made this thread in the wrong place, feel free to move it!
