HELP. New hard drive wi-fi doesn't work

[DougTurnsy]

Hey, my toshiba satellite stopped working and i decided to try putting in an old hard drive from my dell inspiron into it, everything worked fine but it said i needed install the hardware, but i could still access all my files, and the wifi won't work, it says it can't find any networks etc.
Do i need the discs i originally got with the dell or is there some way of sorting it out?
Cheers

You can go to the manufactuer's website and dowload the drivers you need for the wireless.

 

[DougTurnsy]

any offers on which ones to download?

Yea, we need to know the model number of your lappy.

 

[DougTurnsy]

It's PSLB8E- 0GV00Yo1
that's the model number of the lappy i put it into.

Go to their support site and grab the wireless LAN drivers for the operating system you are using. Look on pages 8 and 9.

ah i put in the model no. for the wrong laptop, the hard drive i took out was a dell : 1525-1319

The wi-fi you're trying to get to work is on the Toshiba, so we need the drivers for that, which AR already linked.

Hard drive doesn't matter. The WiFi has it's own card. The make/model of the laptop is what matters, not the hard drive. (Which, as was previously pointed out, AR already linked for you.)
