WIN 7 Installation

This PC did not have a HDD, Windows CD or HP Recovery CDs. After installing a new HDD (SATA) I started to install WIN 7 up to the point where it asks for the "Device driver". How in the world would I get a hold of those drivers? Is there a work-around for that problem? Thanks.

If you are getting prompts for device drivers you will need to know what was in the basic system. From your post you refer to HP recovery. This would indicate that you have an HP desktop and do not have recovery media. What model is the unit? Depending on the age Windows 7 driver compatibility can be determined.
