I have acquired a couple of old laptops (a Dell and a Thinkpad) with no OS installed and no driver disks. After installing XP most of the device drivers still need to be installed but I'm having problems finding the right ones because I don't actually know what the hardware is. I've tried going to Lenovo's and Dell's websites to identify which drivers I need for the models I have but they are not much use. Is there some freeware which will audit the hardware and identify it (make, model etc) so I can get the correct drivers?
Lenovo you can type the type number into the support page and all available drivers and software are listed, up untill a short while ago you could have simply ran windows update then ran the lenovo system update tool which would have automaticly presented all available drivers and packages such as rescue and recovery, access connections etc. This has been discontinued so you will need to manually load all listed drivers. If you system has a finger printer reader this can be complex as there is no "driver" for this as such, I believe this relys on 3rd party software (bio software).
I tried that - tried all the network drivers listed for my model but none of them work. It may be that there is a fault with the hardware. Thanks for the replies!
google the laptop model, should locate a spec sheet and from that can determine which drivers u need i've not tried UnknownDeviceIdentifier but def plan to now i know of it
Expand device manager with the yellow bits and take a screen shot and link it here, let me see, by the way I have been working with lenovo laptops for 13 years and can strip any model and replace any part, so yeah do the screen shot Edit: Scrub that, you will know what model network card it is because after you put in the type number the next screen will list the full system spec from factory including all internal componets. Whats the type number of the lenovo machine?
I'm posting this from work - but I will provide all details/screenshots when I get home Off the top off my head it's an IBM Thinkpad T42, type 2373 (pre-Lenovo afaik) Thanks...
To find out what unknown hardware is use a software title called Astra32 it will tell you what it is and help with getting drivers for it.
First of all, I've tried other forums for advice in the past but none have had anywhere near the response I've had from here, so thanks all! Secondly, the IBM details are: T42 2373-3UU (or could be 300, I think the label has worn off) Thirdly, here is the full log from UnknownDeviceIdentifier: Device Information Listing for Philip

Aaaaaaargh! Too much info Simply open Device Manager and open Properties for the unknown devices. Select Details tab and make a note of the Device Instance id. Post the ids back here and usually they can be converted to the exact hardware. There is always a concern with laptops that some hardware is specific to the manufacturer and drivers for the same hardware will not work for another make using the same hardware. Most of the Lenovo hardware is Intel. Any id that says PnpID: PCI\VEN_8086 hardware means Intel so should be easy to figure out.

For the IBM have a look at the model-specific page here. Follow the link and it'll tell you which files you need to download. For the dell it can be a real pain to get drivers, but it should have the model number written on it somewhere.
