Most of these drives have very simple interface and the function of the Express driver installation. Choose this option, and the computer will do all the work (in the process of installing it most likely will restart multiple times, this is normal). If no error during Express installation was not that successful.


Option two: go to the link http://www.hp.ru/support/drivers/ to official HP website and specify the model of your laptop (in the case of a failed Express installation driver disk too, will have to use this option). On the website you will be prompted to check for updates or to specify the version of the operating system. Since you have nothing to check for updates, choose your OS and press "Next".
