Reinstalling Windows 7 - System can no longer find network adapter
I have reinstalled Windows7 and now the system can no longer find the installed network adapter. I believe I need to reinstall some drivers but since I cannot get to the internet I have to download them on a different machine and copy, etc. My question is can I download the drivers without Dell scanning my system? I also want to make sure that they do not automatically install on my system. Is there a way to do this?

Get the drivers from Downloads.Dell.com opposed to Drivers and Downloads.
Ensure you adhere to the installation order:

If you need specifics state the model number and hardware IDs:
