Ok, so, I put a windows 7 disk into my computer, and, updated to windows 7 ultimate, and took the windows.old option, so I could have all my old files. Anyway, everything worked out, but... I have no drivers now. No usb drivers, it can't read an sd card, and it has no drivers for the internet... I know I still have the drivers... it couldn't have deleted them, right? Anyway, how do I go about getting my drivers back?

Did you try hiring random people to be your drivers?

I'm not sure if this could work or not, but try booting your computer with the Windows 7 disk, and use 'Boot from Disk/CD' option.
Try using the Repair option, it's possible that during your update something went wrong with the registry, hopefully 'Repair' would fix it.

PS: What game is your sig from?

install linux from scratch. Then if you don't have any drivers, it's your fault alone.

...More seriously, just back everything up and try what ishtar said, and failing that, install windows again.

Take this as your chance to learn that you're supposed to have the drivers backed up on a separate storage device beforehand if your replacing or changing your windows installation without a second computer. Windows obviously doesn't come with the specific drivers needed for your computer's hardware, and your drivers wouldn't carry over with a new installation. Unless you had the files for installing the drivers on your computer and not just the drivers installed, then no there's not anything on the computer to help you. You'll need to get on another computer with internet and search for the drivers you'll need (if it's a mass produced computer it should be easy, if it is custom then you should know enough about the hardware to find stuff), get their installation files and use one of the various means of transport to get them on the driverless computer. Google about finding and installing drivers as well, there's plenty of info out there to help you out. It's a time consuming thing when you don't have special tools and aren't prepared beforehand, but your alternative is to seek professional help which will cost you.
