Re: Help, computer people of FS

What she/he meant (I'm assuming) is that there are certain drives (Graphics driver, network adapter driver, etc) that are OS specific. You'll need to get those drivers, and the drivers for your other hardware off of a manufacturer's website and store them on a USB. When you install another OS, you're essentially replacing the partition your old OS was on. This erases the drivers and whatnot, which will need to be reinstalled after the other OS is setup.

I meant "drive" as in hard disk drive, flash drive and solid state drive, storage devices that allow computers to boot up from. Drivers are software that allows the OS to communicate with hardware effectively - a set of instructions for the OS, if you will.

You do make a good point about drivers though. Just installing an OS will not make all the hardware work properly. A list of hardware on a laptop may be found via the support section of the laptop maker's website; Dell, Toshiba and many large laptop manufactures have databases that list what hardware a laptop was shipped with when that laptop's service tag or number is entered. Windows' Device Manager is a good way find the make and model of hardware that a computer is currently using. Opening up a computer and reading the model number of hardware is another way to find out what is in a computer.

This is why it is always good to have another machine capable of internet access nearby when installing computers. The other computer can be used to download the driver for the network card on the newly installed computer and "unlock" its internet access!
