Need help formatting HDD with no OS

[DarkFlare69]

Just knowing how whimsical Windows tends to be sometimes I would go to the unrecognized or problem devices (marked with ?) on device manager, completely uninstall/delete their drivers files and remove them from device manager, then update (F5) and wait for them to be detected, and then when it looks for drivers, let it automatically connect to internet and look by itself on Microsoft servers.
But the drastic removing/deleting/update part on Device Manager would be important.

PS: Device manager, not device and printers. You access it through the left pane on the System Properties.
PS2: Don't overestimate MS (or computing all along). Windows can be very broken sometimes, this "wouldn't integrate a feature that doesn't work" never was part of MS philosophy.

It doesn't get detected automatically. I uninstalled it and it doesn't even show up now. .-.

Does it show up again after a reboot? If not there could be a malfunction of your network controller, I dunno. If it does shows up again with that yellow exclamation mark, then you could try running Unknown Devices, although it is an outdated software, however it did save me the hassle of finding the device ID for which allowed me to easily google the drivers for the unknown hardware in Windows Device manager in the past. Since it is old, it may not be much of help to you.
