hey guys ive had to replace a hd in my wifes HP probook, and reinstall win 7, pro is being hp it needs a ton of drivers to get it going. ive got it working to a point now i need to know what are missing, it there any good free driver scanners out there ?
Get the network going, goto the HP site, and itll scan your PC to see what model is and list the drivers...... probably easiest way. But , some models differ the chipset slightly, but at least you'll only have to try 2 drivers rather than 100 to figure out which it is....

Except he has blown away the laptop.
best advice (as above), get the network going (wired or wireless) and head to the HP website, all the drivers will be there, as well as the Health Analysis software mentioned.

They have a 4 gb download which you burn to a DVD. The installer runs and scans the devices then installs the required drivers from its huge library. It has thousands and thousands of drivers, without the malware that comes with all other driver scanners.
We just install windows, put in the disk, it installs 99.9999% of the drivers ever needed, and then if there is anything fancy needed (like getting the brightness buttons) to work on a laptop, we get that from the manufacturers website - though with most laptops there is no need to visit the manufacturers website at all.
