Help! I Deleted All Partitions While Reinstalling Windows and Now I'm Stuck
Asked by

I just reinstalled Windows 10 on my ASUS ROG G15 using a USB drive, but in the process, I accidentally deleted all the partitions. Now, nothing's working because I have no drivers or anything else set up. I don't care about recovering any data; I just want to get my laptop functional again. I tried downloading the drivers on my main computer and transferred them to my laptop via USB, but even after installing, the components related to the drivers still don't work.
Am I missing something? Do I need to create a separate driver partition or do something else to fix this? Any guidance would be appreciated!

You should try using a USB stick to download your network drivers. Once your laptop is online, you can get the rest of the drivers installed directly on it. If you check the Device Manager, do you see a lot of yellow exclamation marks? That's usually a clue that the drivers aren't installed properly.
By the way, the partitions you deleted don’t normally contain drivers, except maybe the factory recovery one. You'd need the correct drivers anyway, regardless of that.

You can download the network driver specifically for your model from ASUS. Here’s a link for the MediaTek Wireless LAN driver: [Download Here](https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/GamingNB/Image/Driver/Networking/38028/WirelessLan_ROG_MediaTek_J_V3.00.01.1325Sub1_38028.exe?model=ROG%20Strix%20G15%20G513). Just download it on another computer, put it on your USB, and install it on your laptop.
If you did that and it still doesn’t work, it could be a different issue.
