Did you install the Notebook System Software and the Chipset drivers as the first drivers installed after reinstallation of Windows? Without the chipset drivers, Windows will not be able to recognize or install drivers for many other devices. It is absolutely essential that the drivers be installed in the correct order.
IF you didn't install the drivers in the correct order, sometimes it works if you go into Device Manager, uninstall the devices, reboot and then try loading the drivers in the correct order. If this doesn't work, the only solution is start all over - reformatting, reinstalling Windows, then installing the drivers in the correct order.
